nice coyote, wheres the lavs?

[Welshy86]

good try, but i think its time for you to look up what a LAV III is. There are similar in appearance but are different vehicles. The coyotes are used for reconnaissance where as a LAV III is our primary mechanized infantry machine. The LAV III is built by the same company (General Dynamics) and was based on the MOWAG Piranha III (coyote), so you weren't too far off.

@Welshy86 look closer bud! the one showing the interior and the hatchs is a coyote! the drivers hatch on a lav III is square, the one on a coyote is round.. that one is round! when it shows the driver, you see the radio on is left, the drivers radio in a lav III is on is right, the tire size on the vehicles is different, those are small tires like on a coyote. the pivot gun on a lav III is a c9 and on a coyote is a c6, at 0:51 thats a c6 on the pivot and the way the turret is made, well coyote

@funstuff2006 Yep, that's what the website says, the recruitment office set me straight on that though, 'Armoured Crewman' is the correct term. I'm hoping to get in, Ijust got the ball rolling in the recruitment process last week. There were still 59 openings when my application was processed :)

luks awsome

[funstuff2006]

I think it's called 'armoured soldier' in the recruiting materials. I kinda have an itch to go for Leopard MBT crew, but I don't think you really get a choice. I think you just enlist and they put you in whatever vehicle they need crews for.

armored , artillery and even combat engineers you will need some ability to run long distances. we are all back up infantry and do dismounted assaults. im not going to say dont try, but at your local recruiting station you will have to disclose your asthma. i dont have asthma do i dont know what the medical staff will say to you

[TheGatman101]

i dont wana join unless i got a combat possition.... i can move fast and fire weapons good.... i understand basic tactics and with training i would b alot better..... i could still drive a tank or man gun platforms.... i jus dont wana join pure foot infantry

[courtsm3]

light asthma, well i dont think you will get any combat arms trade, i could be wrong. but i doubt armored or infantry for sure

[bandp2]

I cant believe they are driving un armourd vehicals

(I don't mean the LAVs)

I the roads there are in good shape for a poor country better than some of our roads, so at least some of the money the world is giving is going somewhere
