Hey guys

I ran my m1008 through a car wash and it uncovered a marking

it reads

NORTH
HAHN
MAY 94

I have looked up and down the web and asked some army buddies to no avail
it's located in front of the rear passenger tire, near the lip on the bottom

Maybe more markings will come up, if anyone can give me a clue that'd be awesome

Did some more looking

there was a HAHN Air Force base in Germany that I guess was closed or disbanded in 1994
Did they mark where the trucks were coming from before shipment back to the states? It was painted over with a broom brush of green. Pressure washer exposed it.
From what Carnac supplied me, the truck was last used at selfridge AFB in Michigan.

Stumped at the moment

Just because the truck was last used at Selfridge, does not mean it was there all of it's life.... Do more research on the Hahn AFB in Germany, see what you can find. And as an added side note, hahn in German means rooster.
