@redxenos Ever hear of the Stryker MGS? The US Army is beginning to use those because Russia doesn't plan on having a huge armored battle in Europe any time soon. The Leo serves the same purpose for us. We also have the Leo 2A6's which are more advanced then the M1 and Challenger in the case that the Russians want to do Kursk all over again.
@vancouverbman probably the platoon command tank. Most likely a Srg. or Master Cpl. would be the other two tank commanders. At least that is how it worked in the mechanized infantry.
One of those "Rubbish Leopards" Saved my life in Afghanistan so I can tell you with some authority they are not rubbish. Just because something is old doesn't mean it is garbage. If you were to look it up you would see the New tanks that Canada has the Leopard 2 A6 is the best tank in the world, Superior to both the Challenger and the Abrams in all respects, the Americans even admit that. As for cost for the work we do overseas it is Cheap compared to not having that firepower on the battlefield
rick is got such quick dirty mind when the soldier starts explaining to him about he crew positions hes gonna introduce him to although i went as well like thats quite some terminology to explain it lol i was laughing cause i noticed rick almost cracking up and the soldier couldnt help himself either lol "driver's hole gunner's hole , loader's hole and load a blank round" lol priceless, and then he says "when you mount the tank hahaha that was funny" lol
Anyone ever think maybe Rick doesn't drive - or has lost his license? He has way too much fun, never looks where he's going and in always being told to slow down. Hmmmm
+Drive Gaming no its a centurion, the centurion was replaced by the leopard 1 rick was seen driving here in the year 1978 and 1979, the leopard one is now being replaced by leopard 2a4m and 2a6m tanks the Caernarvon tank was never used by canada, only by the united kingdom' service for the tank United Kingdom 1955-1966. Deployed in West Germany only.
"A lot of bang, no results, I keep that up they'll make me environment minister!" LOL
Thankfully we've finally upgraded from that tanks (to the Leopard 2A4 and 2A6)
took time
@@shimavitz47 now we need Heli upgrades
@@shimavitz47 not too long, they used 2a6s in afghan
"What's a 93 Ford Tempo worth?"
about 2 bucks
Rick has the coolest job ever!
All that Tempo needs is a little scratch remover and a good polishing and it'll look good as new.
Pretty sure it's already as good as the day it rolled out of the factory.
i dont think thats where zipperhead came from haha
He is soooo lucky, driving a Leopard, flying on a CF-18...

how does a warrant walk around with a beret looking like he just signed up
Mr Warrant Officer needs t fix his beret
You should go pick him up and see what he tells you LOL
He's a Zipperhead...
So sadly...his head is actually shaped that way
Jesus... The white whale was so clean 15 years ago.
@vancouverbman probably the platoon command tank. Most likely a Srg. or Master Cpl. would be the other two tank commanders.
At least that is how it worked in the mechanized infantry.
I remember seeing this a while back and now I've worked in the tank barn next to that hanger (its a white whale BTW)
Haa haa thats awesome! cool how he was sliding the tank around in the snow!
Rick you should visit the royal montreal regiment.... The RMR ;)
You have the best and coolest job in the world!!
Drifting a tank, that's freaking awesome!!:D
lol he looks so pleased

He has such an awesome job.
He has an awesome job because he's an awesome person.
I lost it when he said load a blank into the loader's hole
Someone please, put Eurobeat over Rick driving the tank!

every soldiers dream...to be confined in a tank with Rick...Loaders hole for sure.....LMFAO.....:)
Anyone ever think maybe Rick doesn't drive - or has lost his license? He has way too much fun, never looks where he's going and in always being told to slow down. Hmmmm
"maybe i should leave a note on the windshield". lolz
My first impression Rick+Tanks=...
Im pretty sure on the left (his left) is the drivers seat. If im wrong.... Nice driving.
only 1 hole in the hull of a leo 1 and it is on the right side, no rad ops in MBT's
@redxenos they are far too expensive for the kind of "work" we do overseas.
@vancouverbman yeah. A W.O will most likely be the Alpha call sign.
@14Schofield
true... I wish i can work for the mercer report just to travel all over canada :)
I want to drive one of those tanks!
@m1up It's a Leopard tank.
I want to see him stalk people with the Coyote Reconnaissance Vehicle. Raise up the mast in the middle of a field and ask if he looks like a tree.
Awesomesauce!
I want one :D
Too bad the Leopard 2A4m and 2A6M weren't in Canada yet. Those newer tanks are way more fun to operate than the Leopard C2.
Better in every way too!
I would be afraid someone would swing the turret around and take off my head. This trade is not for me! Love Rick Mercer!
Rick was being a douche to the guy at 0:28. but then again, I'm jealous of the Leftenant
Holy hell that was funny
4:15 - powerslide !!
@m1up It's because It's Leopard 2.
@Connorjayphotography It's actually a Centurion.
no man 4:19!! his laugh is hilarious!!
@m1up It's a Centurion.
UNLESS you're a higher rank...
I wouldn't even call it work. :D
lol tokyo drift... in a tank
'Loader's Hole'? Of course, they didn't know that Mercer was gay at the time this was filmed.
that would be funny if we saw it in real life
Best part 4:27!
yay! edmonton =)
He's a *zipper-head* ... what do you expect?
tankyo drift much
@NlcEpAnTs edmonton
lol I have tank in my school xD
Canada has Tanks? Royt!..Those German cat claws thingys.
MERCER FOR PM!!!!!!!
@m1up Centurion.
In the beginning, he was in front of a Caernarvon, a British Made tank.
+Drive Gaming actually a centurion modified to Canadian standards
Cold War Sure..
+Drive Gaming no its a centurion, the centurion was replaced by the leopard 1 rick was seen driving here in the year 1978 and 1979, the leopard one is now being replaced by leopard 2a4m and 2a6m tanks
the Caernarvon tank was never used by canada, only by the united kingdom'
service for the tank
United Kingdom 1955-1966. Deployed in West Germany only.
The Caernarvon was used as a training tank for the up and coming Conqueror - it never entered mass production.
@TehSiggs That's not funny you know, that's mean
@TheTRAVISJUNIOR He's an officer, gets paid too much.
I wonder why the Asian hasn't driven
They cant drive for shit
