What did they buy? Doesn't the military have a strict procurement process?

 

[Mr.Crumbz]

That’s a pretty cool day at work!

 

[Coffice]

scariest student drivers a guy could see

 

[btabin]

That's pretty sweet actually. I Iike the 'student driver'. Wish I got to check out gun shops during my road test.

Depend's on the equipment. The Forces will give a stipend to those who want to buy their own combat boots, for example, as the procurement system doesn't have enough to go around. At Wolverine, I could see them picking up safety glasses, rifle straps, and other accessories. I wouldn't expect them to be buying a backup weapon, as that would be highly regulated.

As an aside, I wonder if the Forces would be interested in purchasing a few WK181-C rifles, for use in opposing forces training exercises where you need live fire from 7.62x39 mm armed opponents? I'm sure they've got some sample AKs for this at bases, but I'm the Op Force would likely love a 7.62 rifle they could throw their C7 accessories on.

How do i tell you this without completely destroying your fantasies about the cf...lets just say when the enemy force isn't "notional" (which is 95 percent of the time) it usually consists of a single dude letting off a full mag of blanks from a c7 then running away...lol

LOL, I can see that being the case Hopefully JTF2 and CSOR do a little more then that, though.

 

[Rule 303]

If you ever want to take a military vehicle for a walk about without permission slap a student driver sign on it before you leave. No one in the chain of command will bat an eye if they see it somewhere off the beaten track.

So true!
From one who knows!

Are they chrome lined?

Or just yelling "BANG"...

True story.

 

[Rule 303]

Its for real, the "students" have to get a certain km during their driving course to get their qualification for the vehicle they are training on

Last course on which I was an instructor/examiner, students had to log 500 km road time with a further 1000 km for troop lift.

Noted!

Last course I was on the instructors forgot how many Kms we had to log. So we all "graduated" and then got an email a month later saying we had to log another 75km "track and trail" on our own time to keep the certification.

Ever try to rent an MSVS from Thrifty? It's almost impossible

 

[ActFast]

I wanna visit the wolverine store.. That will be one of my agenda whennI meet my family there..

 

[Purdom234]

That's awesome! ...did they use the range?

 

[Cameron SS]

I would imagine the visit was a good excuse to get a few trainees on the road.

"Okay well where are we going?"
"I dunno.....wolverine?"

More like the trainees were on the road and needed somewhere to go. Last driver wheel course I taught I had my guys driving to every gun shop within 400km of the base.
