Do any standardized forms exist for recording mileage toward one's Troop Lift qualification? I'd like to save myself some future headaches and get it right the first time.

Usually they just throw it on there anyway.

My Sapper friend here... Class A and B... PRes.. and he has his trooplift one year afterwards.
Sorry Nfld Sapper to use you as an example. But it fits the bill.
Chimo.

Don't get me wrong, am not trying to diss any driver. I just pointed out that the FMS system has some huge gaping holes in it.
Road safety boys have set this rule for 1000 km per year min to retain Tp Lift - but they have not established any effective system to maintain it - without hamstringing most reserve drivers doing unit training. What's the point of making a rule if you don't enforce it OR don't provide the tools with which to monitor it. Pointing to FMS isn't good enough for me if they intentionally or unintentionally excluded the reservists who use the same rolling stock and carry warm bodies in back.
