    Texas Division - Drive Across Texas

    June or July in Texas in an un-air conditioned MV.....I've done that in July and then October in a CUCV, then in a deuce twice times (May and October) and those were bad. It would nearly "de vision" me doing it again since I'm so old. Of course my parents always said it I would do such things...

    Markings on M998

    Last character is a ZERO. The military serial and registration numbers don't use O (Oscar). Go to the vin info thread and by doing the donation, you can get the 411 on your truck.

    You're lucky, you have a soldier B and C to help. Some of us have come to the conclusion we are getting to be too old to hump 300 pound tires during services. It became all I could do was deal with the A3 wheel assembly. Hence, I'm getting rid of my toys. New job, new priorities but I'll be...

    Bumper re-stenciling - which TM?

    I did a thread on this about my experience on bumper numbers. The truck maybe from the lowest responsible bidder but the bumper numbers are put on by the lowestprivate on extra duty as punishment for some infraction.
