A lot of TMRs for stuff. I wouldn’t say the life is any better, still driving and doing the job. It’s just on a different level.

They pretty much stay in the Motorpool, unless assigned other (crappy) duties. They will deploy with the unit, and maintain/drive wheeled vehicles either brought with the unit or the unit falls-in on.
