Bubba in the CF
https://www.gcsurplus.ca/mn-eng.cfm?...1&sf=ferm-clos
It appears that Bubba works in the CF as well. I suspect this is a mock vehicle to represent enemy force? Just needs a DShK in the back and an ISIS flag

While it could have been a vehicle tech who did that (we did have a few special needs guys in the trade, as most trades do), it could just as easily have been the user. I woudl lean away from a vehicle tech, since most of them know the repercussions of such sloppy work.
I have seen similar terrible paintjobs from reserve units when they did not like the shiny lincoln commercial green that their support vehicle came in. |

Rob, do you agree that this is an opposition force mockup for training purposes?
Only thin I see that would be more realistic would have been choosing a Toyota over the Ford although I have seen plenty of pics of Fords in Iraq and Syria.

Can't agree or disagree, although I suppose it could represent a "technical". Normally those were Toyota helix models though.
The vehicle is quite old for a DND commercial light truck. The DND has a policy of releasing trucks within 4 years and a certain mileage if I recall correctly...same for the autos. There is a far better return for the dollar, and a far lower overall maintenance cost. There were reports stating that units who thought they were saving anything by keeping the commercial vehicles for a year or two longer were actually costing the system. So to see a 12/13 year old vehicle for sale with a craptastic paint-job really defies the fleet policy. |
