For those truly not in the know, Monty is a TRUE legend in the Corps. I knew all of his exploits before I ever met him.
Nice to hear from you Bruce.

We went from horses and motorcycles to shermans, was that a big jump in veh's?
We can maintain MBT's if given the proper training, nothing new here.
For some reason, that really I can't understand from posters here that seem smart, hold a great deal,of knowledge can't or won't see beyond there own world.
To say that a reservist can't maintain a MBT, but then when said reservist joins the regular force then can is somewhat ....foolish!
Therefore I maintain (no pun ) that we can. Offer me some proof, or data to the contrary and I'll stop this , otherwise the reasons that one gives are just impressions,comments,bias, and chest beating,uninformed, or other "I love to hear myself" statements.

We have in our past operated tanks, and if one looks into our history the time and money was than as it is now in short supply, we made do and carried on as per normal.

Back in the olden days, when the reserves had aircraft, Shermans, Bren Gun Carriers and the like, they also had one other thing that is missing now. That is Manpower.
