Dumb "uniform bit question" of the day:

What is the thing below his nametag?

He was a trucker by trade. Maybe one of those safe driving pins they get ?

I think you’re exactly right. That looks like the half-million-kilometers-safely pin.

Huh. TIL.

Are Pilots, NWOs, and helmspeople eligible for that too (converted to nautical miles)?

I'm not sure why that's funny...

I imagine that that amount of collision free Kms is a big deal in the world of driving.

Especially if he spent any time driving in La Belle Provence

Personally, I've seen more casualties from road accidents than enemy action, including a Land Rover full of my troops flipped by my (irresponsibly hot rodding across tank tracks) Pl Sgt, sending several to hospital.

Put me down as a big fan of this award I've only just learned about today

AFV crew aren’t.

AFV crew aren’t.

That isn't true.

SECTION 3 THE DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE SAFE DRIVER AWARD PROGRAM

1. The Department of National Defence (DND) Safe Driver Award is established to provide a nationally recognized certification of drivers who consistently demonstrate their safe driving skills by avoiding preventable vehicle collisions. Award eligibility is based upon the number of collision free driving kilometres completed by the driver since January 2005. The award has multiple levels and is open to all members of the defence team with a valid DND 404 Driver permit.

The kicker likely is folks need to associate their name to the kms put on the trip ticket and the unit staff/dispatcher needs to enter that info into FMS. Something we are not always good at

Look, with no name on the ticket, how can you hold someone accountable for an accident?

 

[Halifax Tar]

That isn't true.

I'm so happy I'm not the G4 TN. That's a job that truly is like herding cats.

Dealing with truckers is very icky....

That said, their SJS page is an awesome depository of information, the supply one not so much.

I also just learned about this.

I hope that people can see this for what it is. A pin is a good way to recognize this sort of thing.

Loggies: "Oh hell no"

I've never been to the SJS page.

Have you seen the MMT collaboration page ?

We had a WO build a really good one. I will DM you the link once I'm done my taxes.

BIS doesn't make you guys fill out your own tickets ?

SMC does. Most of the pers in my unit just end up knocking on the G6 office door with "Pronto, my shit isn't working...fix it?"

Old habits die hard I guess...
