why is it that even in a BATTALION exercise, the CSMs are so
reluctant to let other coys use their UNUSED
vehicles/weapons?
so much that they decided even 1 tonner was too much for people
meant to keep their equipment moving?
so much that when 1 HMTV broke down and 9 men became stranded,
they'd rather squeeze them into an already overloaded tonner rather
than have an empty tonner come down?
so much that when a coy with RCV has broken down, stranded
vehicles, that they'd rather the
store/a-mech/b-mech/base-mech/armt-tech tonner to tow them rather
than send their own RCVs out to help?
then what's the point of having RCV teams in the 1st place?
to gain ISO awards?
even when the driver is newly passed out and has no experience
towing anything, that he tow all the broken down vehicles through
crappy terrain all the way from murai to gedong?
when you squeeze your entire maintainence team into 1 vehicle, the
only eventual result is an entire battalion of failed vehicles
because only 1 team can work at a time.
i guess we're lucky. if they weren't impatient, we'd be the medical
team too.
1 tonner. 20 men. 20 sets of field equipment. 20 sets of 4 day
rations. sm1 spares. bronco spares. nitrogen canisters. POLs. tool
boxes. camo net. bamboo poles.
and you still expect them to sleep inside?
what are we? dominos?
