For WW2: Armored Infantry Divisions were equiped with half-tracks. Regular Infantry Divisions walked (or trucked). During the Vietnam War those Armored Infantry Divisions gave way to the new MECHANIZED INFANTRY DIVISIONS, equipped with M-113 APC/ACAV (Armored Personnel Carriers/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles). Only one US Army Mechanized Infantry Division was in Vietnam (and only it's 1st Brigade); the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division (Red Diamond Patch). Regular Infantry Divisions in Vietnam were called "Straight Legs", "Straight" meaning...straight foot soldiering.

What is the average pay for armored car driver?

Police officer / CIT Amored car officer$11 - 19 dollars per hour. It depends on how the company is setup to comp drivers. Overall most drivers do very well after a few years. Some get a commission per branch stop, or per ATM they service. If you have experence as an ex-police officer, or military your wage will most times start higher. Hope this helps answer the question. I have worked for GARDA for 3.5 years and make $30,000/year. We do not get commission for ATMs and everyone, including ex-military and police, start at the same pay scale. Everything is based on hourly wage and we don't get overtime pay because of the commercial driver loophole (armored trucks are not classified commercial by the way. We aren't paid by the mile. I smell a lawsuit.). But all in all it's a decently dependable job with benefits, paid vacation, 401k, etc. I'd say it's a good stepping stone, but not an extremely successful career job. Go work at UPS.From what I remember, I drive an 18-wheeler, eligibility for overtime is based on whether you drive intra-, or interstate. Interstate drivers, by regulation, don't have to be paid overtime. However, the company you drive for can pay overtime if it chooses too. Also, if the vehicle is not registered as a commercial vehicle you can not be restricted from receiving overtime. The overtime regulation is based on whether the vehicle is defined, and used as a commercial vehicle. http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs19.pdf


Were British tanks - Comet Firefly Centurian Churchill VIII - better than American tanks?

The Firefly was an M4 Sherman, hulk of useless iron as you put it, with a British mfg. 17 pounder instead of an American High Velocity 76mm as its main weapon. The Sherman had many faults, easy to catch fire, poor armor, & under gunned. But it was easy to mfg. & even easier to ship overseas. Very easy to maintain, & did not get stuck into the mud so easily. This is one American that will acknowledge that British Amored Vehicles were in many ways superior. The problem was, Gr. Britain could not mfg. enough for the needs of the Allies. The "Arsenal of Democracy" could. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections Maybe because there are stubborn or don't whant to recognize that the Fire fly was much better that the good Sherman. Remember that early American tanks models where just a tall can filled with gasoline ready to explode, until the sherman appeared.M3 Grant and General Lee tanks where to tall and could be saw from far distances and destroyed easily by Panzer III shells.But English tanks as the Valentine, Churchill and Crommwell where really good on the stages of the War.The crommwell can could easily penetrate a Panzer hull and blow it up, but Shermans only damaged them and make holes in the hull. The M-4 Sherman was never a great tank, although it was improved substantially as the war progressed. The British tanks, prior to the Comet were also inferior to the German and Russian tanks and were about on par with the Sherman. The Firefly was a late model Sherman which mounted the excellent British 17-pounder gun. The 17-pounder was probably just slighly inferior to the German 88mm gun, and could knock out all German tanks up to about 1000 yards. The Firefly was a very well well respected tank, although still inferior to the Tiger and Panther in armor protection. The British Comet was not introduced until 1944. It was essentially a Cromwell tank with an improved hull and a high-velocity 77mm gun. The 77mm gun was a shortened 17-pounder. The Comet was a very good medium tank. The best American tank of the war, however, was the excellent M-26 Pershing, which mounted a 90mm gun and was probably the equal of the Tiger. The British Centaurian was also an outstanding tank and served around to world for years after WW2. Neither tank, however, was introduced early enough to have an impact on the war. Firstly we must consider Britains position at the start of the conflict. The british military saw armour as principly a tool to support infantry on the assault, so speed was secondary to armour thickness; remember the Matilda II was arguably the most heavily protected tank in the west during the 1939-41 campaigns.And this concept would place the UK behind most other nations' armour doctrine.This drawback only became obvious following the fall of France, by which time Britain had left most of it's 'quality' armour strewn around northern France. From this point on the UK was fighting for it's existence and any tank; even one still on the drawing board was welcome. The American Lee/Grant was greeted with open arms even though it was recognised as an interim design, pending the arrival of the new M4(Sherman).The adoption of the M4 by both the USA and Britain was forced upon the nations simply by being at that time, the best medium tank available.It's shortcomings are of course legendary, but as already cited it was adaptable, upgradable and above all was available in staggering numbers; Remember Britain was on the front line and serious mass production out of the question.However by 1944, Britain was begining to re-dress the balance, the Firefly (a purely British concept) gave the allies a tank that scared even the Tiger crews! The concept of the CRUISER tank led to the Cromwell and ultimately the best British tank of the war(to see action that is) the Comet. Finally, too late to see action, arrived the Centurion, this tank would go on to become the sire of all modern western MBT designs, with the latest British Challenger II it's direct decendant.In summary, The USA designed a basic , functional medium tank.The British used it (initially) and then helped to redesign it, and so it went on to earn its place in history as a war winner, but its ultimately the British designs that stand the test of time, so they get my vote. Although it is frequently not realised Britain produced more tanks than Germany. The great difference being Germany focused heavily on self-propelled guns for ease of production in later years whilst British production included not only the famous Churchill, Comet, Cromwell, Crusader, Valentine (the most numerous), Matilda, Covenanter and many early designs in relatively small numbers.The great British problems lay in the desire to fit inside the loading gauge for the rail network and the absence of particularly good engines until the Rolls Royce Meteor. Both dictated relatively small vehicles that could not take the larger guns.The great heritage to the wartime experience has been Challenger. At the time of writing only one Challenger 2 has ever been written off in battle - by friendly fire - whilst the Challenger 1 held the record for the longest gun kill in history.


How can you get last two sea charts on temple of ocean king and where is the temple of ice to get the grappling hook?

In order to get the southeastern sea chart, you have to go back to the temple of the ocean king and get another sea chart. Get to B4, like you did. If you haven't gotten here, then on B2, after you pull the lever that the phantom guards, go left and hit the orb. It will drop a key. Get the key and keep going. On B3, you have to get 3 force gems in their pedestals. Then go down a floor, get the sea chart and head out. NOW back to the original question: You will find 2 phantom eyes (I call them blue surveillance cameras.). Avoid being seen by them or another phantom will appear. Not only that, but you will be attacked by the "cameras" and phantoms. The phantom eyes will try slowing you down, so get to a safe zone or prepare to get socked by some big swords. If you manage to get through that, then you can go to B5. If you have the spirit of power, equip it to deal out some toasty damage. This is odd, no phantoms? Instead there are 2 of those huge walls that pop up, forcing you to kill some nasty enemies. After killing them, spikes will close so you can grab 15 seconds for your sand-thirsty hourglass. Now, go to B6. Go right then down and get to the second safe zone. Hide there and wait for the coast to be clear and step on the switch. The right wind wall will disappear, then you should head in there. A special door called the door of courage is right there, tap it and draw an hourglass. Go from right to left, southeast, west and northeast. Go in there and say hello to your new, dusty SOUTHEAST SEA CHART! Now, there is another symbol you can draw on that door, if you don't want to see how, skip the line below. You can draw a triforce on there too. Go southwest a little, east a little, southwest a little, northwest a little, southwest a little, east a lot, and northwest a lot. This will go to a new section that I AM ON. Now go out to sea and the isle of frost is surrounded by ice, so if you want to go there, first accomplish completing GORON ISLAND, which is the big Island. The boss of Goron Temple is Dodongorongo, amored lizard. You get the crimsonine there, and the special item you get are bombchus, which are bombs that follow a path you draw. The boss of the temple is gleeok, 2 headed dragon. You get the Azurine here and the special item you get is the grappling hook, which does lots of stuff. I will eventually be able to add how to get the other sea chart, but you should be happy with this answer for a while, right?
