But in the post before mine, Sirius states that his son was trained to civilian tanker standards and has the certs to prove it.
Whilst I do not doubt that our infrastructure is one of the safest in the world, you don't really hear of major incidents at MOD bases. So, in my opinion, my questions stands, why do they need training?
I guess that fuel is not just kept in the tankers on bases, plus where does the fuel come from in the first place? Or do the civvies deliver that too, just in dark green trucks as opposed to white ones with Asda on them?
Perhaps Kymmy can shed some light?
