how much is a troop commander in armoued vehicles in the uk army on a year?

admin — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 22:59:00 +0000

It’s the British Army.
A Troop Commander would usually be a Second Lieutenant, possibly a Lieutenant.
It therefore follows their salary will be in the range of £24,615 – £32,702 (most likely towards the bottom of that range).

Why would it be impractical to use an army that is made entirely of unmanned vehicles?

What would make a romote controlled army impractical other than the current vehicles we have?

If your a grunt on the ground in Iraq or Afghanistan trying to contact and get authorization from uav operators in the states to provide immediate close air support can be a bitch. The optics and what you see while you fly has a very long way to go before it can operate like it would with a human pilot that can simply turn his head to look around, one example I know of a pilot was flying and saw some smoke on the ground right after he saw it he got a call for air support at that spot and he was able to provide immediate support, if that was a uav it would have taken time to get information to the operators and then they would have had to scan for the area and then provide support, the point is if there wasnt a human looking around things would have been very different for the guys on the ground. When I was in Iraq we lost a very high target because a uav shorted out or some shit and while it was tracking the vehicle with the individual in it, it suddenly zoomed out to a city wide view and because of that everything went to shit and the bg got away. Its mistakes like that that are easy to make and when there is so much depending on it its just to risky for uav’s to take over.

Why is there so many army vehicles going through my town?

admin — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 05:14:58 +0000

I live in a little Oklahoma town and lately sooo many tanks and army jeeps have been passing through. Every time I leave the house I see like 6 of them. Everyone says that they aren’t telling us something and war is about to break out here! I don’t want to jump to that big of a conclusion, but can someone please tell me whats going on?

They may be doing training currently; they’re are possibly preparing for a deployment or just doing some sort of annual training. There probably traveling from one base to another like many will do in Afghanistan.

How many miles is too many for Nissan 350Z?

admin — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 06:43:29 +0000

I want a Nissan 350Z 2003 model, and i want it in black. I found one for a reasonable price (only one within 150 miles) but it has 115K miles on it. I know Nissans are good vehicles, but that just seems alittle high to me. Is that too many?

Nissans are not crap, War Veteran. Fighting for America is a great heroic thing, but that doesn’t mean that anything built outside of the US is shit. Check your facts. 115k is a little high for the year, however. I think you should look around for a little longer and you may find something better. driving an extra 50-100 miles to get a better deal on a car is worth the drive and your time, believe me.

Are there any after market or Nissan traction control systems available for a 1991 nissan 300zx?

admin — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 18:37:43 +0000

I’m going to be moving to where it snows, and i have never drove in the snow before, and I know the car is RWD and the wrong amount of gas when turning may lead me into a curb, so are there any traction controls avalible for this vehicle? 1991 nissan 300zx non turbo 2+2.

Any sports car with rear wheel drive will be horrable in the snow stash the Z each winter and buy a winter beater like a 1986 ford taurus wagon with the mismatched doors and different colored hood. But get the one with small rusted out spots in the floor that allows water to drain off of your muclucks.

Are Nissan’s Reliable Vehicles?

admin — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 01:59:36 +0000

Hello! My sole question is projected on the automobile: Nissan. Are these renowned cars reliable and consistent? Specifically how do they perform on the road/terrain? Do they contain comfortable interior traits? Obviously, a myriad of individuals won’t feel jovial in the multitudinous sum of vehicles that could potentially be purchased from this illustrious automobile constructing incorporation. Generally, I am observing Altima’s and Maxima’s, but all input is integral. Thanks! )))

I have a Nissan Sentra 2004 and I noticed a recurrent problems with Nissan’s 4 cylinder engines, this is at some point they will blow a head gasket. I got mine after the first month, the car backfired. Found misfire-indicated Cylinder 3, stated repair would be 1 cylinder head gasket, 1 valve cover gasket needed to be replaced,the heads were not harmed, the car did not over heat nor was is there any abuse or misuse .After that was fixed, the car has been running very well. I can attest in mine , I feel the bumps, but overall a smooth ride and it has great horsepower, handels like a new car on interstate, with windows up, you can drown out most all of the road noise.I get about 265-275 tank of gas. One item to note, the radio /cd player went out after a few months, it showed error on many playable cd’s, cd’s also attempting to play they would , skip like the music was fast forwarding, then one day, the cd got stuck in player, would not come out, and replaced it with new one.From all I can tell it is head gaskets & bad cd players, are what I seen listed as major concerns. So far with 3000 miles my oil level shows it to still be current on dip stick.It comes down to how well the owner/owners before you took care of their car to how long one will last.Thus far at 110,000 miles mine is running like a new car…

Can the Toyota coolant radiator fluid be use for the Nissan vehicle?

admin — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 23:16:21 +0000

I used to own a Toyota, so I had its manufacture Toyota brand name coolant fluid. Now I’m owning a Nissan. So will there be any problem if I use the Toyota coolant fluid for my Nissan truck?

You could but why? Nissan uses regular green ethylene glycol do not mix red toyota and green antifreeze use either. But only after completely flushing out all of the old.

what is the relevance of the star on the back of military vehicles?

admin — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 17:35:13 +0000

military vehicles have a star on the middle of the rear side, what is the reason for this?

It’s just a way to mark it so friendly’s know its theirs, any way most newer trucks like the MRAP’s don’t even have them because they are so obviously ours.

Does anyone know how many vehicles are used for Google Street Map?

admin — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 01:44:10 +0000

Does anyone know how many vehicles are used for Google Street Map ? I wonder cause in one of my searches I did I saw its shadow .

There are at least 3. I only know this because last month, while driving through San Francisco, I actually passed the Google Maps car. I thought that was really cool, until I realized there were two more just like it behind it.

Each car had, like, a dozen cameras on top, all pointing different directions.
It was REALLY cool.
