as far as I know - and PLEASE corect me guys if I do.. the ONLY transport vehicles are the Hummvee and Vodnik. thats sad, but thats the way it is.

How I got mine ?
Wake Island, Piloting a Black Hawk and engineer inside my belly NOT the two machine guns. I hovered over a friendly dammaged tank, and the engineer fixed it. Somewhere in the middle of the fix I noticed a line "You have earned 1 Driver Special Abillity Point". After that, well.. do as the Ubar says.

The FAV and the DPV are transport as well. I got my badge by driving people around in a FAV on clean sweep. Also, 4lter_3go got his by using boat, so apparently the boat is transport too.

Actually, this one was really easy for me...I tend to drive squadmates around maps where appropriate...I love my armor, but I'll drive anything as long as I'm going somewhere. I can't imagine sitting in a boat for 10 minutes...lol

Absolutely.  That's all I did, and I wasn't even thinking about the transport badge.

Just like I finally got my basic AA badge after a base-raper kept buzzing the Carrier on Wake. I got in the turret, and between my aviators and me, we kept the bastiges off our deck and we won the round. It wasn't the most fun or exciting round I've had, but I got a couple of kills AND I protected the team's machinery sufficiently that we recovered and won.

Got mine on Daqing Oilfields.  I just wasn't going to sit around and let the choppers have a base rape hayday.  I got killed quite a few times, but I certainly made them pay for it as well.

Mostly, it's when you worry about your badges that they don't happen. If you are playing hard, with good teammates, you'll get most of the basics without that much effort.

Now, the Heli badge is killing me...

The Heli badge has eluded me as well.  Some rounds I just can't believe I haven't spent at least 15 minutes in a chopper.  I've had a few good pilots that would set down close enough to the flag that I could get out, be within the capture zone, while also being close enough to do repairs to the chopper; I usually play engineer when going in a chopper.  The funnier thing is that I didn't get my basic engineer until we were play Wake Island and had to keep repairing the artillery guns.  I figured with as much repair as I did to the chopper that it should have been a sure bet for both the heli and engineer badges.  I guess the game didn't see it that way. 

Well inside attack chopper that 15 kills is damn easy.. I get that much in every single day. 30 more hrs and I'll get my veteran heli badge \o/ 15 kills is easy to do also in Black Hawk but those guns of Chinese and MEC choppers sucks damn much and it's damn hard to get that 15 kills in those.

I got mine on Fushes Pass, driving around with a mate killun and cappun.

I got this award finally while playing SF's.. I drove around in a boat for 10+ mins and bam, there it was. Kind of a lame badge if you ask me...

Here's a tip.

Whenever you are commander, get in a vehicle or on a mounted weapon. You should be in your command screen the whole time so why not earn some of the time requirements for some of your badges. That's how I got my transport badge (unintentionally). It was in the first few days of the game coming out and I took the boat out on Shanghai Stalemate as the commander to get out of harm's way. About 1/2 way throught he round got the transport badge.

But, the damn Vet badge isn't so easy, 50 freakin hours! Heck the guy who is ranked #1 in transport hasn't even received the expert badge yet.

play USMC on Karkand. take Humvee from back flag. park in a secluded area by the uncappable base.  go spend ten minutes doing something else (make a sandwich).
