I did my MILCOTS conversion this weekend, had a pretty good time.
10 of us were listening to a Cpl show us all the different aspects of the vehicle, sitting outside. He takes off to go see the Sgt running the course, and says he wants to all cycle through the truck, get use to where everything is. While we're all getting in and out of the truck I get a bright idea.
"How many people to you think we can fit in this cab?". Before we know it, there's 10 of us piled in the cab, trying to close the doors. Then we look out the windshield, and there's the course Sgt staring at us....
so we start to get out. "STOP!. Everyone BACK in the truck...close those doors!" so ten of us are sitting in the cab, sweating about what the Sgt is about to do, and realizing this was a stupid Idea. Then we see a Cpl recording us on his camera phone....
"When I say go, everyone out of the truck, run around twice, and get back in, in a different position then you're in now. GO!"
and thus started a huge Chinese Fire drill, with us running around, into each other, some of us clockwise, others counterclockwise, and fighting to get in the cab...
the bad part was, we realized we could actually fit more people in. 4 in the front, 6 in the back...not bad. but in the rush to get back in the truck, you'd have 6 people crammed in the front seats, and 4 sitting comfortably in the back..
I'm going to try to get the video from the Cpl and post it
