Post 3DXXX Feedback

So the 3D conversion has already happened and I've seen the wire shop migrate into the CFP and TCF. How are you guys liking the change? What are you guys doing over there that's different from before the merge?

Us cable dawgs at RAF Croughton didn't get much of a change but thought I'd ask how you old, and former, wire dawgs are liking it.

There are definite pros and cons. The biggest pro, in my opinion, is that we will all expand our knowledge base. The switchers, routers (Infrastructure) side of the house is extremely marketable. Get a couple CISCO certs tucked under you belt and you're practically good to go in or out of the AF.

The down side is that we are cutting ties with our own people in some ways. Any of us that went to CST are now seen as "Outside plant" and the Cyber Transport guys/gals are seen as "Inside plant" and some of know how we used to bicker and blame each other back in the day. As one shop we all worked together inside and out in the field. Plus, with the break up, we've in a sense added another step for the customer to have to navigate. No disrespect to any of us that have gotten stuck or rotated through the CFP, but I've yet to see that added workcenter pay off.

I would imagine that in 5 or so years when Cyber is all that we know and us older Dawgs are gone, it might start to work as smoothly as the "they" planned it to work.

Either way, I'll consider myself WIRE not Cyber until I die! WIRE by Choice, DAWG for Life!!!! WIIIIRRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!

My official answer is: I believe our leadership made the best decision they could given the years of experience and knowledge they possessed.

I agree with SCMPIMP, if you got x1 it's all jacked up. CFP shouldn't be just x1's we should also have airfield and radio people in there. PWCS, why did this get merged with us?? CST our shop is still split, we don't do computer job and CSA's don't do telephone jobs. So technically we haven't quite merged completely here..wish I could have gotten x2. I would love to have more knowledge on that side, I had to help an x2 last week on programming a phone and I haven't touched a switch in 2 years.
