What's even scarier, is that they trust those people with fully automatic weapons, frags, etc. ![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Wouldn't most whiskers have the rotor clutch out when parked?, ie that the rotor is not engaged?. If the rotor is not engaged, then powered up the engines shouldn't technically do anything other then power them up. Only when you engage the rotors the fun bits should start.At work I once saw a pilot start a helicopter with the main rotor blades tied down. The company shall remain anonymus. (Chevron Heliport in Venice, Louisiana. Pilot worked for Chevron. Chevron helicopter)
Not true for the US Army. Commanders let training standards slip and Leaders that do not have the authority to license Soldiers often do so anyway, but the standard remains that every Soldier is supposed to go through drivers training for every type of vehicle they are licensed on. The way our program is supposed to run sounds about the same as yours.to what I have been told this "mode of operation" is not carried out in the US armed forces, if you have a license you can more or less drive anything and no training required is that correct?.
A slave port for slave cables sound the same as your pig snout. Pig snout, I like it. I might have to use that some time.But we have something in all vehicles referred to as a pigs snout, which is used for charging a vehicle that has drained batteries, is this what you all refer to when you talk about slave cables etc?. Thankfully we have to open to hood to get to that port so would "hopefully" notice if something is fishy..... one way or the other.

look at my post above yours, it's the standard NATO plug.Sadly I dont have any pictures of the "pigs snout", but I wouldn't be surprised if its the same thing considering the fact that all the NATO vehicles need to interop.
Thank you for the quote from Dr strange love lolre: flouride

The one I saw in the jeep had 2-3 "holes" inside and wasn't receeded like the plug on the pictureTeH, Again it's the same for us. If I, as a commander order a Soldier to drive a vehicle he is not licensed and trained to operate then I am assuming the risk. Any decent commander will take responsibility for such an action. Techno in the post above posted a photo of our "pig snout". The one he posted is a type 1 NATO standard slave port. We also have a Type 2 standard in older vehicles. It has two prongs inside. Type 1 is the standard now in US vehicles.
Thanks for the kind words. Actually Christiansfeld isn't that far from where I liveWay off topic, but since we're conversing in this thread I have to tell you, you've got a great country. I feel a connection to Denmark since I got married there in 2003. It was February and kind of cold and wet, but the people we met were extremely hospitable and the city of Christiansfeld was beautiful. The shore at Little Belt/The Baltic was great. I enjoyed every minute of my week there and I'll remember it forever.![]()
