I promissed G4M to post som pics, and here they are.
Not the most spectacular ones, but...
This was a 1,5 week long course for 5 of our professional soldiers and one sivilian employee.(I had them for two weeks, but we spent som days with other types of fun)
2 of our soldiers has a lisence from earlier, so they didn't need as many hours as the rest.
We got 4 graders for the students.(Volvo G976)
The course consisted of security regulations, maintenance and practical use.
The intention is to give the students 40 hours of practical use, so they can obtain the official lisence.
And to give them the mandatory military education on the spesific type of material. Everybody must have spesific training on materiall before use to prevent accidents.
My goal was to give all so much practial use, that they can operate it without destroying something/ doing something stupid.
Hours in the seat to learn the grader and the levers was the most important, road maintenance and then fill layout third.
Prosedures that are rare over here, was not coverd.
Of course the education was held at one of the worst time of year.
Not enough snow for wintermaintenance, and to much frost for gravel road maintenance.
Two graders where most of the time inside our training field. And it looked like hell after the last users...Typical...
And then some pics:
One day first week, was spent on a Volvo demo.(not part of the course)
Still some had their ass in the G976 demo machine.
Black trucks are Volvo 700hp, 50t total weight.
