Dragoons receive training vehicles

Seven Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicles arrive in Vernon Tuesday

The newest vehicle in Canada香蕉视频直播檚 armed forces fleet gets going about 90 km/h on the highway before its massive wheels start to wobble.

Of course, it likely won香蕉视频直播檛 be used much on highways.

Vernon-based B.C. Dragoons received seven more Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicles (TAPV) at its armoury Tuesday morning.

Master Cpls Thomas Fisher and Brandon Ingram, both from Kelowna, had the honour of taking the first two TAPV off the trucks and driving them inside the large armoury garage.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檝e had about 10 days of training on them,香蕉视频直播 said Fisher. 香蕉视频直播淲e drove over different types of terrain and had them out on the highway.香蕉视频直播

The B.C. Dragoons are currently recruiting, a process that involves screening and testing.

香蕉视频直播淚 can hire like 70 guys,香蕉视频直播 said Daley. 香蕉视频直播淢cDonald香蕉视频直播檚 can香蕉视频直播檛 do that. Tim Hortons can香蕉视频直播檛 do that. The brilliant thing about the reserves is you don香蕉视频直播檛 have to deploy.香蕉视频直播

Join now and train over the summer, and Daley says a person would be learning to drive the TAPV by fall.
