What can a Vech Tech expect?
« on: July 02, 2003, 16:07:00 »
I am just about to start MOC training as a vehicle tech in my local armoured reserve.  I am wondering what to expect in this occupation, and if i am going to be included in field operations. I am also wondering if there is a need for Vech Techs in operations oversea‘s.
Any replies would be appreciated.

I‘m in a SVC BN right now, so I can tell you what out VEH TECH‘s do, which would be sort of similar to Armour

VEH TECH‘s go out in the field with us, because if one of your vehicle‘s cr*ps out, their be there to fix it, an this would apply to over sea‘s duty aswell

anyways, just hang around for a better response, from one of the Armour guys, their have better info then me

God Bless You!!!!!  You will become one of the most loved people in the sqn.  A good veh tech will be extremely busy in an armd sqn.  Our vehicles are always going down at the worst times.  Having our own veh tech would make things a lot easier.

I‘ll second that! An Armoured Sqdn (Heavy or Recce) runs alot smoother with a V-Tech truckn‘ along with us. CAC two years ago, we had a pair of them, route Recce from Pet to Meaford. Not one breakdown the entire week until the very last day. I doubt we could have done that trace without them. A V-tech to the Armd Unit‘s is like gold!

Just a bit of praise to the crewman out there from what I have been told the Armored Corps Crews have the greatest Touble Shooting and Knowledge of the interworkings of there vechs than any other trade. Which should make your life abit easier. LOL
