The "improvement" to DND 404 would be to merge them with the NDI20. But then we couldn't have 2 kingdoms to run...

And just what do you expect the folks to do in those positions? Go back to something operationally useful.? You're just not seeing the big picture Seabass....Or...and hear me out here...
Do what the Americans do with their Combined Access Card and merge the NDI 20, 404, PKI, door lock, and restricted access cards into one. Have a common card reader/loader that you update as part of your out-routine on your old unit, and in-routine to your new unit.
At least on airbases, the folks doing this stuff are Commissionaires.And just what do you expect the folks to do in those positions? Go back to something operationally useful.? You're just not seeing the big picture Seabass....
The level of coordination that would require between MPs, MSE, SSC, RP Ops and unit USS is completely beyond the CAF's capabilities... would require some sort of National Defense Headquarters to issue direction and orders...Or...and hear me out here...

Commissionaires and civvies on the front line, but I have no doubt we could fill a Coy-sized element with all the individual stovepipes of uniformed individuals controlling those cards combined.At least on airbases, the folks doing this stuff are Commissionaires.
Take it as you will.

How about high-security areas where you can't have your phone?That's old tech. The way ahead is smartphone based, 'touch free and COVID Friendly' access, of course

You know they have much more advanced tools for that, right?
The Field Ration Eating Device (F.R.E.D. or FRED) is a small device which serves as a combination of a can opener, a bottle opener, and a spoon. Introduced around 1943, it is issued to the Australian Defence Force in its CR1M ration packs.[1]
It is also humorously referred to as the "Fucking Ridiculous Eating Device".[2][3][4]
Just received my temporary 404s. What do I do next? Is there a road test needed or do I need to do Driver Wheeled to get permanent 404s?
Yes. It' an A1/B1 training permit. I've emailed my transport rep if there's a road test or anything needed, and my section commander if there's any Driver Wheeled or air brakes coming up.
