For GOD'S sake, don't touch the brakes!
Thank goodness my driver was very experienced... he down shifted the APC and coasted to a stop. Had he heaved on the tillers bars we would have been through the oncoming traffic like a knife through butter!
Then there was the student driver on a light track course I commanded, who was driving me through waist deep snow. Well, the snow built up in the track and slowly lifted the track so it was barely "on". I ordered 'track left' and he started a right turn... (unbeknownst to either of us the left track started to peel off) realising his mistake he pulled hard left... ever seen an M113 in deep snow with both tracks off? Four hours to get the tracks back on! And Shilo ain't that warm in January! Keep 'em tight and drive straight ahead when your in the deep stuff!   , Mike
