Wow you guys must be hard up, we just let the 88's know they need work. Usually get them back in a few days.

If the mechs are really swamped we have the option of doing the work oursevles if its not too big.

[Canadian_Mind]

lazy engineers, us armoured guys work hand-in-hand with our mechs to get shit running. things uually happen alot quicker that way.

[roger-roger]

Ya lazy engineers , perhaps someone who has been in longer then 5 min can tell him how lazy the engineers are . Whats that saying in the armored core "I dont carry my kit, my kit carries me..".

That part is a complete and total lie. We just don't tell the wanna-be recruits that.

[roger-roger]

Hehe not so, I know a two RCDs (one was our driver the other our gunner) overseas that swear by that phrase.

[roger-roger]

Ask if anyone in Pet knows a Donny Hillier, he was my gunner on TF1-07

[Canadian_Mind]

I know a Cpl. Hillier from Gagetown, Dunno his first name though.

I'll look around Pet. for you, though it's a shame you couldn't use your legs and do it yourself.

[roger-roger]

Its probably the same guy, kinda short, big red beard.

[Canadian_Mind]

No beard, not really short either.

The guy I'm talking about works in the armoured school orderly room now.

[roger-roger]

Is he a red haired newfie?

[Canadian_Mind]

Newfie, but blonde hair. Probably not the guy you are looing for.

Any idea what Squadron your Hillier is in?

[roger-roger]

Nope after he went back to Pet I lost connection with him, I have heard rumor he was at the Armored school though. I doubt they would have put him in the SQ.

[Canadian_Mind]

Eh, ohwell, I'll see what I can do.


unrelated topic: if we bought hummers 15 years ago instead of the LS, do you think thy'd be just as shit-fucked today? I knwo the LS was a lemon from the get-go, but would hummers have worn-out by now?

[roger-roger]

NO the hummer is not nearly as useful as people think, from everyone I have talked to who are qualified on it say that its just a little overkill. That they can be a bitch to fix and really are too much for what the CF needs to replace the LS.

[roger-roger]

As shitty as the LS is, it can be useful, say I want to move just four 20L pails of 80w90...
