RIDE ALONG Ep.2 – Armoured Recce

Follow Corporal Clarke as he practices his Gunnery skills on the TAP-V in our newest entry of the RIDE ALONG series!

Meet Corporal Elijah Clarke, a member of The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own). Ever since the third grade, Clarke has wanted to join the military – his mother claims it was the first thing he ever said he wanted to do when he grew up. Clarke was drawn towards the Armoured Reconnaissance trade because of the variety of work it entails. Armoured crewman drive armoured vehicles, operate vehicle weapons systems, take part in dismounted infantry work, perform vehicle maintenance, and, in the case of the British Columbia Regiment; practice IA (Influence Activities). Clarke’s advice to those who want to join Armoured Reconnaissance is to have an open mind and be ready to learn a lot of different skills. “As a crewman, you get to experience a lot of really cool moments as well as a lot of challenging moments, the important thing is to practice and continue to work hard.” Clarke is one of many reservists in the Canadian Army that train to augment, sustain and support deployed Regular Force members when needed.
