Yes, I know we are a very small military but we are talking about two seperate occupations here. The shock and awe fighter vs. the recce types.
Cavalry Scout
vs.
Armoured Tank Crewman
Pro:
The Cavalry Scout can get more specialized training towards his role. This occupation is also more viable with the upcoming TAPV program but useless unless Canada keeps the Coyote or picks a replacement such as a LAV-H. The U.S. uses Up Armoured Humvees and Bradley's
It allows Tank Crewmen to receive more specialized training as well and to be focus trained.
It allows the Canadian Forces to put a height restriction on the Tank Crewman trade so people entering this trade actually can't be too tall to drive the damn tank! (Leopard 2)
It allows civvy's to choose what they actually want.
Cons:
We are in the Canadian Forces change takes around 10 years as well as a administration nightmare.
The Govt might make regiments geared towards one occupation or another rather than using their brains and keeping all regiments balanced.
Might not have the manpower/funding for this idea to work at all especially with a possible 2011 budget cut upcoming
Anyways, tell me what you think and I know obviously some of you are going to jump down my throat for this and be like "well I am supercrewman so fuck this idea! I drive a tlav, Leo C2, Leo 2, Coyote and every other god damned AFV daily".
