    CH 147 Backenders (FE/LM) Debate

    Right. I was specifically talking about "at the crash".  I still disagree.  During our pre-flight briefs there were discrepancies between pilots on who would take charge if we went to ground. AC or Gunner? That training provided would be more than enough for anyone in order to make it from...

    CH 147 Backenders (FE/LM) Debate

    You are ex Combat Arms and saying this!? I am surprised and somewhat disappointed.  All tactical fleets should employ Combat Arms soldiers for over seas operations.  Why? they are more comfortable on the ground.

    what to do to be FE

    According to a senior FE I just asked who I work and live with here overseas, you are on the right track.  Time required to be an AVN tech prior to FE is getting less and less.  Most FE's here have at least 5 years as AVN tech before they applied to transfer to FE.  Also, there are some FE's...

    No thanks to the embedded journalist for breaking the story before the troops had the opportunity to notify their families.  Anything for a story eh!   Speedy recovery!

    How does one be accepted to be a tank crewman.

    What really matters is your survival rate will increase if you go overseas in a leopard vs. Coyote.  Tanks go boom while coyotes go bang. The Corps has a lot to offer, check out the DND website and click on the armoured trade.
