    Module 3 is minibus & truck, they need something to drive. They have to do it before they get to drive AFVs.

      - think that' s it, but I' ll need to double check.



      The minibus is not an operational vehicle within ANY unit - it's for non operational
      purposes - that was my point.



      Ta for the correction. So all the folks in the former Coy of 17 Inf Bn have now become
      Troopers?
      yes quite a few of there bodies are ex infantry most still have not been issued the correct headgear ,
      all units need a mini bus and drivers while useless to the cav on camp or tactics , without them admin would be a disaster ,

        Yup sure they do..thats why they go to longford at weekends. AFAIK mid week training in castlbar ground to a halt and the idea was to stage traing at weekends in Longford.

        Minibus' may be just non op troop transport ..we have two.... but all tactical training etc is done with borrowed and indigenous GS's and FFR's our won AMl90 and any others we can borrow..and the units DR bikes...so I suppose we aren't badly equiped..advantages of being based in a fulltime Bks who borrow our gear as much as we do theres.

          Yeah most of them. They even had transfers in from the other coys.

            Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

              Whereas the indigenous Cav personnel will be in possession of breakfast rolls
