Don't kill me here guys, but I vaguely remember there being a brake locking pin you could insert into the surge brake assembly when backing a loaded/overloaded trailer up hill or in rough terrain. The A1 and A2 bits bolt back and forth with no issues; lunette, axle, tailgate, etc. It is not...

Weapons had to be "green" no rounds in chamber/magazine or belt out of weapon when on the FOB. When you came into the FOB you cleared, when you left you locked/loaded "red". If he was entering or exiting a FOB, he would have had his weapon cleared. Then again, that is how it was when I...

Desert Rat Too Drove her from Camp Udari, Kuwait to Camp Muleskinner, Baghdad, Iraq, Jan '04.

Not a rag-tag, but this was truck #3 for me, second M1114, from my tour.

Our BN at Lewis had one in the back of the motor pool for times we needed to move containers about, and didn't want to deal with the logistics of moving a container crane/lift across post. The worked well, but as mentioned, are PITA to back up with something like a duce (we used a 939 or 816)...

I always saw them hauling MLRS pods behind a HEMITT.

Well, the order has been canceled. I contacted the "Management" at GL, unbeknownst to them, with the information I got from DCIS et. al. The customer service, answers, and plain rudeness I received was enough to push me over the edge. I talked to my bank, they recommended a charge-back, to...

If for nothing else, it gave me ammunition when I called my back for a charge back, and went against the "management" at GL. At no time could anyone say I didn't do my part to rectify the situation amicably. We will see if they do the refund in 7 days, and if they do, well then I will retain...

Sorry for the delay guys, I am taking Chemistry and Calculus in summer classes (fast paced) so I am a bit stressed.... thankfully Chem is done this week :jumpin: After I talked with the DCIS investigator I contacted DDTC, and was told things were still pending. I asked how this could take...

Yeah, that light is one from an armored vehicle. Some guys would pilfer them somehow to use them as a dome light. Personally I used the little green light on the squak boxes that we mounted in the same place. The black webbing piece is metal, and used to provide support for the weapons system...

Which piece? The tan plastic light on the center brace, or the black "web" on the bottom of the turret? My 1986 m1025 had a d-ring on the gunner's sling, but no light (that is where our LVOSS trigger was)

Yes I am serious, and I have seen members of the Klan, and various other extremest and terrorist organizations, during the late 1990's, and early 2000's, hence my statements. I am not spouting off unfounded rhetoric, I am saying what I have personally witnessed. Sadly, I must agree that...

Here is the response I received from the investigator today. So, now I have the next rung to climb.

My humor detector is quite functional, PMCS'd it yesterday... need to replace "motor-pool Monday" with something. As for generalizing about large groups of people, I'd hate to tell you this, but I am not. I never, nor will ever, make the generalization that ALL southerners are disagreeable. I...
