I guess noobs are not log wogs. I have always found it very frustrating to see truck drivers and other remfs aquire new kit like CADPAD and gortex first. I would hate to see you get a soaker stepping out of your truck. It would be very important for the circus battalion to recieve L.B.V.s first instead of us infantiers. I would hate to be in your shoes fileing a claim for your obus form because of webbing. I‘m not directing my rant specifically at you Thompson, I just think certain items sholud go to us (infantry) first. I know this will never happen because it has to pass through log hands first. However, CADPAD THUMBS UP. I WAS TIRED OF LOOKING LIKE A KOREAN WAR REENACTOR

well boomer last time i checked us truckers still get shot at too.
Im not saying we are as hardcore as the infantry, and in my opinion the order of who should get the good Sh*t should be in the following order.
1. All Troops on Deployment.
2. Reg force combat arms
3. Regforce Support trades
4. Reserve combat arms
5. Reseve Support trades.
I can only speak from my own experiance but most times we go into the feild we‘re still camming up our trucks and ourselves. we still get issued weapons C-7‘s, C-9‘s, and C-6‘s, we do (time permitting) dig trenches, and eat IMP‘s... the fact is, we do all the same basic soldiering stuff that every other person in the army does. including the infantry...
The Difference, Our specialized trade is to operate the trucks to make sure you combat arms guys can keep doing your specialized trade, which is blowing the **** outta the enemy in whatever way possible.. I know enough about the infantry to give you boys all the respect you deserve.. its a **** of a job and it takes alot of guts to do it. Nonetheless, we still need good equipment too. the fact is, truckers could really use C-8‘s instead of C-7‘s just for one.. as we all know what its like to get a C-7 out of an iltis rifle mount, but i digress, thats simply a pipe dream.. especially as a reservist. but my basic point is, that we can all use new equipment... the fact is i still dont have an LBV nor do i expect to get one before the 31 CBG Infantry units get theirs.
and boomer, my rant isnt directed specifically at you either. but ive spent a good part of my 5 years in, trying to dispell the myth that Log‘s are lazy or weak. we work **** hard to do our job to make sure you guys can do yours.
