In fact I actually wanted to ask him how aero engineering(what he studied) correlates to what his doing now... Which to me seems more electrical engineering......

Generally Unless Ur working in research in core areas Ur specialisation don't matter much .

And generally any CEO earns his pay managing/ coordinating the activities of the various teams specialising in different fields but for the same project.

What is important in a engineer or a scientist is not his degrees but his ability to bring out solutions, his ability to apply the solutions and his ability to ensure the feasibility/adaptability of the solutions.

Autonomous to some extent. Apparently, the plan was to bring in NAF to work on it also as skills required to complete the whole project is not available to us all working on this.

Hiring more professionals with qualified certifications is too expensive. The ones we have now already have working experience with foreign aircraft manufacturers.

VLO tech employed consist of RAM, design parameters and adjusting some.......

A quick test on the engine we agreed to use shows its going to affect the whole result. The company is redesigning the particular engine to fit into our requirement.

I'm trying to be discrete concerning the EM so I'm sure you understand. Lol

NAF ACCOMPLISHES FIRST IN-COUNTRY OVERHAUL OF MI-35P HELICOPTER GUNSHIP, REACTIVATES AN ADDITIONAL EC-135 HELICOPTER

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has successfully accomplished the first in-country overhaul of one of its helicopter gunships, the Mi-35P NAF 531. This was revealed during the acceptance ceremony held for the helicopter at NAF’s 115 Special Operations Group (SOG), Port Harcourt. The Mi-35P Helicopter was one of the critical air assets being employed in the counterinsurgency operations in the Northeast before it was grounded, having become due for scheduled overhaul. Also restored to serviceability was an EC-135 Helicopter, NAF 548, which became unserviceable in March 2018 because of the need to undergo an engine modular change. The reactivation works on both helicopters were carried out in the hangar of 115 SOG by NAF engineers and technicians, who worked closely with some foreign technical partners.

Speaking during the acceptance ceremony, the Air Officer Commanding Tactical Air Command, Air Vice Marshal Oladayo Amao, stated that the 2 newly reactivated helicopters would augment the number of air assets available for counterinsurgency operations and other Internal Security operations in the country. He also expressed appreciation to the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, for his vision of undertaking the Life Extension Programme (LEP) of the Mi-35P Helicopter locally and for authorizing timely release of resources to achieve the objective. According to him, it was the first time the LEP of the Mi-35P Helicopter would be locally accomplished, a feat that had not only resulted in costs savings but also enhanced the capacity of NAF technical crews. He then disclosed that a similar major maintenance work had commenced on Mi-35P Helicopter NAF 530.

In his remarks at the event, the CAS stated that the process of reactivating the 2 helicopters was deliberately designed to ensure that the Technical Assistance Groups (TAG) exposed NAF technicians to every stage of the maintenance work, as part of efforts by the current NAF leadership at human capacity building. “The work, which began on 27 February 2017, sets a new beginning for the NAF along its journey to a culture of self-reliance”, Air Marshal Abubakar proudly stated. He then thanked members of the TAG for not only tutoring NAF technicians but also assisting in the repairs of unserviceable Ground Support Equipment. The CAS also congratulated the beneficiaries of the on-the-job training and then urged them to make maximum use of the newly acquired skills as they prepared to undertake the Periodic Depot Maintenance of Mi-35P Helicopter NAF 530. The CAS acknowledged that the day’s achievements would not have been possible without the untiring efforts of personnel of 115 SOG, the support of the National Assembly and the enabling environment created by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The highlight of the ceremony was the Functional Check Flights (FCFs) carried out on the 2 newly reactivated helicopters, after appropriate ground checks by the technical crews. The Commander 115 SOG, Air Commodore Elijah Ebiowei, led 3 other NAF pilots in flying the 2 aircraft and performing some acrobatics. Subsequently, Air Commodore Ebiowei confirmed that the FCFs revealed that all necessary parameters on both helicopters were within limits thereby paving way for the presentation of aircraft documents and formal acceptance of the aircraft. The 2 helicopters would be immediately deployed for operational duties. Meanwhile, the CAS seized the opportunity to commission some projects executed by the Unit towards enhancing the welfare of personnel. Air Marshal Abubakar and the team of other senior NAF officers from Headquarters NAF had since returned to base.

National Defence College 20th Graduation Ceremony

The National Defence College (NDC) Kenya, graduation was marked on the 24th May, 2018 at Karen, Nairobi, marking the end of forty eight (48) weeks of hard work, sacrifice and determination by the forty (40) graduands.

The course participants comprised of Senior Military Officers and Senior Civil Servants from Botswana, Burundi, Kenya, Malawi, Egypt, Togo, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe selected for preparation of higher responsibilities in the direction and management of National Security and other related areas of Public Policy.

The College since establishment has trained six hundred and forty one (641) Kenyan military and Public Officers and two hundred and seven (207) Officers from friendly countries who after graduation occupy senior positions in security agencies and other related areas of Public Policy.

The Chief Guest, Cabinet Secretary of Defence, Ambassador Raychelle Omamo said, it was a great honor to preside over the ceremony, congratulating the graduates on their successful completion of the course, thanking their teaching staff, commanding officers and families.

“Eleven (11) members of the graduating class were drawn from ten (10) states, and we are honored and proud that your countries selected our NDC to further your military and professional careers as it is an indication that the College is held in high esteem by our regional counterparts. Your presence in Kenya this past year reinforces the bonds of friendship between our countries bringing unity and peaceful Africa.” She said.

NDC’s former students wield positions of leadership and decision making in the defence forces, other security organs, the civil service and government agencies in Kenya and throughout the region. They play crucial roles in the advancement of peace and security on our continents and are symbols of excellence, diligence and disciple for our young populations, she added.

Ambassador Omamo said, the advent of terrorism, cyber crime, and resource conflicts fuelled by climate change, together with changes in global power relations with poverty and inequality have triggered fundamental and confounding shifts in the patterns of conflict, which presents African strategies with challenges, demanding a transformation regarding the nature of peace, sovereignty, security threats and conflict management solutions needed to pre-empt them.

In attendance were College Advisory Board Members, inclusive of the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) General Samson Mwathethe, Service Commanders, General Officers, Faculty Members, Ambassadors, Defence Attaches, College alumni, College Staff and distinguished guests.

I'm a bit late but let me post this regarding the recent contretemps!

[b] If inferiority complex becomes too overwhelming and lasts for a longer period of time, there is a possibility that it may engulf the person in such a strong way that it changes into superiority complex. [/b]Superiority complex is nothing but an exaggerated form of inferiority complex. When a person develops too much of inferiority complex, then it turns into superiority complex.

[b]In superiority complex, the individual feels that a good way to overcome inferiority is to make others feel inferior and thus become superior. For this, the person might become arrogant and aggressive in his/her mannerisms. [/b]He/she might try to show off and indulge into too much of self-praise and bragging. The person might also try to bully others to gain a sense of satisfaction.

Imo,we haven't given nearly enough attention to soldiers welfare which isn't just pay,proper promotion procedures,housing etc etc. What about then widows and surviving kids?

Our defsec last nighjt launched the KDF the welfare centre program
The ministry of defense has launched a policy that seeks to ensure widows, widowers and orphans who lost their loved ones while serving the nation under the Kenya defense forces are taken care of.
https://www.kenyandigest.com/government-to-establish-welfare-centers-in-military-bases/

There's already a benefit beginning at 20 k$ for privates rising to 50k$ for non coms KIA ,IIRC that rises to well over 100k$ for majors and the welfare centers will provide much needed emotional support.

Chief of Defence Forces Presides Over the 33rd Defence Staff College Graduation

The Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) General Samson Mwathethe presided over the 33rd Defence Staff College (DSC) graduation held at Karen, Nairobi on Thursday, 7 June 2018.

A total of 50 officers of the ranks of newly appointed Lieutenant Colonel and Major from the three Services (Army, Air Force and Navy) who were drawn from Botswana, Burundi, Egypt, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia marked the ceremony as a completion of the year long Grade Two Staff course.

In his address, the Chief of Defence Forces who represented Defence Cabinet Secretary Ambassador Raychelle Omamo congratulated the graduands for the sacrifice they had made within the training period, mentioning that the course was of utmost relevance to their military careers, as it equipped them with necessary knowledge and skills to serve better, particularly in today’s world where issues like terrorism, insecurity and religious division had taken toll. He praised the significant growth that the Defence Staff College had made over the years, noting that it had become a centre of excellence not only within Kenya but also in the region. “The partnerships that this college has made with the University of Nairobi and the Kenya School of Government have ensured that our Officers acquire the most efficient training with the best resource people in this country”, he said.

General Mwathethe also challenged the graduands to give their best upon return to duty, and work even more to achieve greater heights in future. He also lauded the steps the college had made in improving gender policies, noting that the 33rd group of graduands comprised four lady officers – the highest number to have ever been enrolled at once for a course. He thanked the management of the college and all the personnel who had ensured that the course was a success.

The Defence Staff College Commandant Major General Ngewa Mukala added that the intended mission of the course had been achieved, and the output of the graduands upon arrival for duty could not be doubted. Major General Mukala indicated that the graduands had lived by their slogan “One Team, One Mission”.

The Chief of Defence Forces presented all the graduands with certificates and awarded those who had made exemplary performance in various areas, with Kenya Air Force’s Major Margaret Kikechi being the best student overall. The CDF also planted a commemorative tree at the college’s grounds.
