The Child to be, will have inherited some military commonsense, so will come forth when the tactical situation dictates. [;)]

Military commonsense? Where's it going to get that from? [:D]

Thought the Dixie Mk. II was supposed to go into production in early December?

It should have turned up on Friday, I already had to do four days at work that I didn't want to do. If it doesn't show tomorrow then I'm back to work again on Wednesday, on the plus side as it's our first they'll probably induce her on Friday at latest. So I'll avoid the night shift...
Some people might point out that
any project with input from the military will come in late [:D]

Dixie,
On an informational note: what is the prevailing UK company policy re: paternity leave?
Not too sure on the real world, but I can't imagine it's too different to mine. I get two weeks. Luckily work let me take some extra over the New Year (or my old boss who was leaving the squadron did).

You should've lived in Sweden. This is what wikipedia says about paid paternity leave here; [;)]
"480 days (16 months) (62.08% (80% of 80% of 97%) up to a ceiling the first 390 days, 90 days at flat rate) - shared with mother (dedicated 60 days) + 10 working days in connection with the child's birth"

I believe that there is currently a plan here in the UK for 6 months, to be shared between the parent's however they want. One parent could have all 6 months off or they could both have three each for example. TBH, my current working pattern is quite good for time with wee 'un. Apart from the time I have to spend out east I work 4-5 days of 12 hours and get 4-5 days off.

Neat. I'm glad that there's some public support for paternal leave. Pretty important stuff that is underappreciated, IMO. I forgot where I read that the average American father takes less than a week of paternity leave (like 3 days)[8|]
