And it's going to be a challenge, I'm sure, to get people licensed on different vehicles, both here and over there.Charlie Sherpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16791563886675329245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991024443488082637.post-45493900486517027442010-08-05T11:36:53.105-05:002010-08-05T11:36:53.105-05:00Sherpa, When we went to OIF 3, our bn loaded every...Sherpa, When we went to OIF 3, our bn loaded every single veh and items of equipment we had...because none of the Pogues had ever deployed. We had CANVAS humvees! They thougth we would actaully use them.<br />I asked a few times: "Don't they already have crap there for the unit we're replacing that we'll just take over---like the last deployment I was on?" <br /><br />They just looked at me like I was nuts. They moved tons and tons of crap. When it got there, it sat in the back and never got used. As far as I know, a lot of it is still in Iraq....never to be seen again. <br />All they had to do was e-mail the unit we were replacing and ask: "What should we bring?"CI-Roller Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850472230525879415noreply@blogger.com
