I like to play a type of truck jepordy. Ask a guy where a tool is and have him go to the truck to find it, with you following behind. You all most have to make sure the guys have a few days to study the truck prior and then the "jepordy".This works good on rookies since they want to try to show their really into the world of fire, and they fear looking stupid to their superiors. This method worked good for us and it usually sticks with you, doesnt hurt nto have them go through the truck once a week to keep fresh as well. Detailed truck inventorys work well to but those are boring and more times than none they will just veg out while doing it, so thats hit and miss.
Hope this helped take care

I like it. Add in a mocha for the winner and most guys will jump at it. Thanks for the info.

Check out the Drill I Learned the Most From in this group. It is a great mentoring exercise for apparatus familiarization and locating equipment.
