Yep cut it all, we don’t need the citizen military that oversee the repair of military aricraft. We don’t the Quality assurance Rep making sure the contractor doesn’t leave a bolt out of something small like the rudder (which I have seen). Yep turn it over to the military so an 19 year with less experience and minor education can make sure it works right. Ther will always be some things that the governement will need to oversee. We can always let the military contractors oversee themeselves I’m sure there won’t be fraud, waste and abuse. Never will happen!

I was a 19 year old Marine working on aircraft electrical systems - jets and choppers. Only high school grads got into aviation schools; electrician school was six months long. Flunk the weekly test and you’d be digging foxholes on an island.

In the field, we always worked in teams of two, sometimes three, and checked each others work before signoff. And today’s troops are more educated, better trained and more adept than yesterday’s counterpart.
