I am SO looking forward to breaking some canadian gear!! The vehicle I am REALLY hoping they give to the armouired Recon is called the Nyala, new vehicle from africa I believe, kind of looks like a pumped up Hummer
The reason they still call us Armoured crew is that ANYTHING that has more armour then a jeep or an APC officially belongs to the armoured core, so the Leopards, LAV's, the ARV, Bison, Cougar, Coyote, Husky, M113A3. Tons of vehicles
I am BADLY hoping they give the Nyala and the Mamba to the armoured, but right now they are for combat engineers and infantry support only :'(
Then again they ARE thinking of giving ALL the armoured to the infantry just as recon units, which means I would get the Nyala then ;D
PS. I will be buying a laptop to bring to training with me, so I should have net......should....I hope....I pray...
