100 and 1 uses for armour:
Great pic Mike! We used to have a lot of fun with our DAREOD, although we never got to crush anything (at least, not on purpose anyway!). It was a great recruiting tool and when the Sgt. Major wasn't around, we'd take it downtown (sans blade, of course) to the "Yorkshire Rose" in Abbotsford for lunch. Once at the end of the Abbotsford International Airshow and at the end of a very long, hot day answering inane questions by the public, we were attempting to walk across the runway in order to get to "Hangar 13" for a cold one. The event staff were using the runway as an exit for the 100s of thousands of spectators that show up every year and none of the vehicle drivers showed any inclination to stop and let us cross. I quickly jumped in the DAREOD, which now had it's very large blade attached, fired it up and made a bee-line for the runway. I don't need to tell you it was like the Red Sea parting for Moses! All my fellow Sappers piled on and were we first in line for the brewskis!
CHIMO!
