I am no RCEME guy but the tech back then was a lot simpler. Their was very little if any FCS in the AFVs. Certainly not much in the way of comms.
Modern AFVs and the comms/fire control is a hell of a lot more advanced and needs the proper techs to maintain them.

So I will chime in on a kind of this subject, kind of not. Nate Erskine-Smith got f*cked over the Ontario Liberal party nomination for Scarborough. For those not in the know, Nate is currently the Federal Liberal MP for Beaches North York. Normally he grates my nerves but I will admit Carney...
Switch gears for a second. I will give Uncle Mark (PM MC) an atta boy! On what? I am hearing more and more, and seeing some of it, some actual positive changes in the Forces.

How about the AD side? Would it make sense to have an AD for the field...

I can't remember if it was Toronto Sun or The Hub or whatever, but they said USA GDP gowth was projected to be double of Canada's this year and next year
