ChopperHead said:Well I'm fresh with some more questions for ya ;D
is there much growth happening in the trade?
Do many people stay in the trade for their career or at least a good chunk of it?
have you ever competed in the CF Rodeo or CANADIAN FORCES PROFESSIONAL DRIVER CHAMPIONSHIP as it's officially called now? what are the requirements to participate in this event? ( Sr about the caps but I copy and pasted it so w/e)
how long does it take from the time you walk out of BMQ to your posted to a unit and qualified to start doing your job?
do you ever drive anything with some armour on it like say a beaver or........ something
also do you do offloading and stuff like on ATVs and G-wagons etc?
Thanks
Kyle
For the trade itself, if you are not gun ho then it's a good spot for you. I know tons of people that made a life out of it... but then I know personal have re muster to 935 from Infantry or some sort...
I have been offer to join the Rodeo before, but I did take one at my unit to get my skills up. It is a time trail with different tasking for you and your truck, like figure 8 backing up turnings. Or backing in an off set alley...and I do that in a HLVW... fun fun... good old times... I love it.
Well CFSAL is running your trade training all year around so once you get off... you"ll get slapped with that course. After that, once you get to your posting, you"ll get OJT and practical training/work.
As for armour.. we are here to insure the Canadian Forces is moblie. So if that includes moving a LAV III or C2 then yes...
As for off roading... we do tons of it if you are with a field unit...and your trade training too...
Hope this helps...
