Cheers
17th Recce Sgt said:Yes, I did that. Lets just hope I don't have to work for him some day? Can you say "extra's"?![]()
17th Recce Sgt said:This is only my 2 cents worth...I wouldn't want them. What do I do with the kit I might need...get the matching trailor? Who is "observing" when I am driving and commanding...I am imaging being in a hurry but having to stop to navigate, cause I have 2 hands right? and can't imagine trying to read a map and drive a ATV cross country or at high speeds (say...40 km/h), while navigating and then there is the question of your weapons, of whatever kind. IF you came under contact and are tryin' to get out of dodge...who is engaging while you are driving? or vice versa.
17th Recce Sgt said:Maybe you didn't get my point.
If a jeep with a crew of 3 is busy and can't hold everything you want, how would an ATV be better at the task. Thats the point. Use your imagination and you will see what I was getting at. I would love to see an ATV with the vehicle, troop kit, crew servered weapons, ammo, water, comm's gear lashed on it somehow.
Try crew commanding for awhile? LOL. Whatever. 12 years with Recce Sqn, I think I past that one a while ago but thanks for the concern.
I was trained to crew command at the Center of Excellence, including 6B...so you are slamming the cadre at the School not me.
Just my thoughts. If ya got nothing nice to say, maybe you should say nothing?
