VC is vehicle commander. Vehicle commander is the person in the passenger seat who is usually the highest rank in the vehicle.

There's no way PV2 dipshit is going to be a vehicle commander.

WELL YOU SEE IN FINLAND the VC of an APC or IFV can be a private easily while officers ride in the back, and why not?

I'm not being facetious, so if an infantry squad boards hops into their APC, their highest ranking member can't just overtake the command, or what? Shouldn't the VC/TC be someone who is tied to the vehicle all the time? What good is a VC bouncing around in the mud if the vehicle has to move?

Okay, so with armor branch, the highest ranking in the VEHICLE CREW is the TC/VC. He is responsible for the vehicle. If someone, say the batt commander jumps in the back, he's gonna give generalized orders if he likes, but the execution of those orders, or the ability to tell him no fuckin' way, goes to the TC/VC. If you're in a Bradley, you're a scout so you've got dismounts to do dismount work.

If you're in a tank say, your TC and loader will get out, to leave you with a gunner and driver in the tank. That way, if your dismount crew dies raiding a house you can immediately lay waste to the entire environment. Or if enemy troops or light vehicles are inbound, you can still engage effectively with your TC/VC on the ground. Even without a loader you can still fire off 120mm, you're gunner is gonna be going like a one legged man in an rear end kicking contest though.

I think I covered everything there.

A qualified crew for strykers is actually just driver and gunner.

Regardless of whether you're cav, infantry, artillery or whatever the VC is the ranking soldier on that Stryker, doesn't matter if you dismount or not.

Manning is pretty lovely, we're really under strength. We're supposed to be 36 scouts but I only have 21 I can take to the field.

Mustang, we should meet up for drinks sometime when you get back. I'd love to get your side of that inevitable cluster gently caress compared to my sides.

I'm down to do that, I get back in April.... and leave 2 weeks later for a week and a half long stint back in Yakima.

On other news, remember when I whined in this thread about wanting to go to Italy as my AB option and you guys told me I'm poo poo out of luck but I might as well email my branch manager?

Well today she respnded, months later. She decided to help me, and my ERB projects Caserma Ederle 173rd in there.
I loving nearly died, as did my wife. So thanks for the advice, sometimes the Army does you a nice.

gently caress, where the hell are they? They'd be gone for two hours at least, and then they'd keep the door locked and the lights off when they got back. Assholes, seriously. You know there's something going on when you're still trying to get a dude's BAH turned on nearly a year after he got married.

Anywhere else in the world, if your job was to help people fix their problems and you weren't, you'd be gone on a heartbeat.
