I doubt if it is the real Army All the guys I tell that I have a duece are amazed and happy about it. When I tell them I also have an M818, M127, and all the rest they just shake their heads and I am quite sure they say man is he lucky. The Army knows every piece of equipment it owns and they...
RE: Will be at Ft Meade on Wed 7/9
Don:
I picked up my water trailer there while home on emergency leave and Sarah is very nice much nicer than the previous woman who worked there. Hope to post some pictures of the fleet with the new trailer soon, please post some of your pick up.
Thanks I know being an old fart always makes me look bad but the young Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines all look better than me. I am still waiting to pin mine on and hope to be looking a little better then.
If I recall correctly go on a friday and you can also catch the latest Airborne class doing their final jumps to earn their wings. The other classes will be in ground week or tower week and those are great action pack adventures to take in as well. I am trying to get the SF guys here to let me...
I know all my old jeeps had pinon brakes for E brake but of couse they still had all four wheels stopped by drums. I can remember driving with it on a few times as a youngster and it was not a hard one to overcome even with a flat head four. The one you are talking about making for a five ton...
Hoo-ah! Great news and thanks for posting the pictures. Is that Balad or Tallil AB or if not what base are you at? Let me know your APO address and I will send you some moral items from Korea.
RE: Builder77 Memorial Link
Wow:
When we loose a fellow Steel Soldier it is hard especially when they are only 33 years old. He will be missed and we can keep his family in our prayers.
They look great any clue as to what stoved in the radiator? From the debris it looks like it could have been under water and a log hit it. Other than that they look good keep us up to date on the M818 and what else you find that makes it not run. Now that I am home for my wifes surgery I am...
Great Save and I have to second the .223 round comment unless it was a 22Mag at close range the rimfire would lack that punch on sheet steel. Now the barn must be getting full in Michigan and for sure if my memory of the midwest serves me I bet she could still push some snow there too. That...
Mine has done this dirty deed and was under warranty for the first two and is now waiting to do this again someday so an extra PMD is on hand and relocation kit is in the truck just waiting for it to do the thing again. First time it happened to me the dealer would not touch it so I started...
Hey Armymann welcome to the site! I know the ones I saw being cut up while over there made me cry but as late as 2006 there were still a lot of them being used as FOB rides. No off FOB use. See my photo album for a picture I took down in Kuwait that shows a line of them being ready to be cut...
Those crane look a lot better than they are:
I did a Report of Survey on one that had the boom bent by a Soldier driving it without the boom caged to the cradle. They were so underpowered when we loaded them on RORO ships they had to be pushed up the ramp with an M88 or another track vehicle...
RE: NJ Trail Ride
New date I will have to ask the boys if they want to take the M1009 again. It has been a daily driver for the two of them since they keep breaking the Jeeps and with dad the mechanic 9,000 miles away the work is stacked up for me to knock out when I get home on emergency...
