Yup.... If there is a moment we can point to where we can say humanity is doomed from herein, the publication of SWAP.avi is that moment.... May God have mercy on us......  :endnigh: :alarm:

Apparently Leno is thinking of bringing her on the show.... http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2011/04/05/17882146.html

Those may have been restrictions placed on the MLVW, but under the Canadian Forces Transportation Manual ALM-158-5 There are still stringent rules and regulations on Troop lift in general. The biggest ones are that they cannot go on roads over 70 or 80 km/h and the Drivers must be qualified...

I'll never say never, sometimes you do need to just get in and go. But certainly it is done when possible.... hell even overseas we would check the vehicles regularly. I'm saying that the key is to be safe, and follow the rules where possible. I have also taken the chances here and there and...

Pie in the Sky..... Our Country is nothing like Holland... our roads are nothing like theirs.... The article if you are trying to apply it to our road system is like comparing Apples to Cheeseburgers........ Secondly as to the manuals, I do. my co-workers do... Many of the full and part timers...

Just felt like changing it up, and it reflects my trade as well....  ;D

Welcome to Milnet.ca, This site is a terrific resource for those serving and those wanting to serve. I would suggest you read the FAQ and Conduct guidelines as you continue to familiarize yourself with the website. I would also suggest you change your name as you are not an MSE Op yet...

Correct. A reservist can get promoted to Cpl after two years providing they have the other qualifications.

That may be well and true, except that Policy dictates that we employ ground guides or do a walk-around Every time we reverse... and Speaking as an MSE-Op, I will still get out and do a walk around or use ground guides when backing up even after 10 years of driving them simply because once you...

Oh its not just the Armoured Corps.............  ;)

TL;DR I'll take a gander at it when I have a bit more time, but for now what I was able to make of the opening of the paper is a lot of theory.... Any chance you could sum up the MTP's of the link for us?

:rofl:

Ahhhhh.... Now that makes a bit more sense.....

I can understand the concept of MilCOTS for the reserve side, though I'll never fully embrace it.... (but such is life under the almighty dollar right?  ;D) But With all the specific Military type Trucks out there, (Oskkosh, Mann, etc... ) how hard is it for one of those companies to just...

This is the point that makes me go Hrmmm.... I do understand the reasoning for why they went with the Milverado/G-wagon mixed purchase.... I still dont have to like it....  In my opinion it makes worse the gap between Reg's and Reserves when it comes to Training....  but I digress on that...

Live your life as if you will be sworn in on April 12th, and get ready to report in to St Jean for April 23rd.... Courses aren't written on bar napkins they are planned well in advance... If you have been told those as solid dates, then there is very little chance that will change. All that...

This may be true, but that truck is a serious PoS........ We lost a lot of capability when we gave up the Iltis for that thing.... If its useless off road what happens when we have to do a Dom Op and there are no roads due to a disaster... etc... it could happen... and if we toss the G-Wagon...

From a reserve perspective as our LSVW's and HLVW's are cycled out, if the CF keeps going on its current trend of "Buy the reservists something off the shelf" I would recommend a modified LUVW-M to replace the LSVW fleets... basically a next generation CUCV deal, where there are Amb's CP's TCV's...

Splitting hairs here but normally you want to engage the "Inter-axle" (on the HLVW) or PDL (on the MSVS-M) first prior to engaging the 6 wheel drive, as there are no speed limitations to an inter-axle or Power Drive lock. whereas it is not recommended to drive the HLVW or MSVS above 50 or 60kph...

Do you have a copy I could obtain for um... research purposes...  :-[
