These can extend far beyond the actual base itself Maybe use of aircraft elevators like in aircraft carriers will be useful. Also shud include many dummy / decoy targets both above and below ground to keep frenemies guessing. Integrated AF / Army / Navy massive response to any attack on CAB shud be part of scenario planning Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-29483549875248426332013-09-05T21:06:21.914+08:002013-09-05T21:06:21.914+08:00If moving Airbases is going to be so consuming eff...If moving Airbases is going to be so consuming effort for new CAF shouldn't the next office holder be drawn from Air Power Generation Command?

I just want to know the life span of our kevlar helmets. <br />The helmet we are issued in BMT is expected to last 2 years in NSF, about 10 years in reservist unit and another 10 years in Mindef reserve.<br /><br />Most online sources say that kevlar is warranted for 5 years but effectiveness is reduced by heat, moisture and humidity (for example, rain and sweat) because these cause the kevlar fibres to break down. Do a search. You will find that US police departments regularly replace their helmets and some in hot climates found that the effective life was shorter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-73342707522586252082013-09-03T12:32:44.071+08:002013-09-03T12:32:44.071+08:00We are going to upgrade to F35 and have to plan fo...We are going to upgrade to F35 and have to plan for the future 6th generation stealth fighters.
