Welcome home Strykers!!!! Thank you for your service

 

[srodocker]

they sat there looking at it. was funny. i bet they were wondering if it was one of hteirs or not

 

[wsucougarx]

Hmm, forget the deuce Daddy...I found something else

 

[wsucougarx]

How did the military react to the Hemtt?

You know, I don't think they reacted to us at all. Really didn't expect them to. Being they have a nice Stryker or two to play with, it's hard to top that.

 

[wsucougarx]

OK gentlemen, mini rally #4? When and where?

 

[srodocker]

Dunno heheh...im ready for one.

 

[Josh]

Sand lake, Oregon, 3rd weekend of october! = my vote.

Two things,
1. Scott outstanding job. Guys like you are the reason I am a PROUD member of SS.
2. Look back a page or two where wsucougarx posted his pics from the event. You are standing in the parking lot talking to Lee Marvin??!!?? When did Lee Marvin get resurected from the grave? Don't get me wrong, it's cool he showed up. LOL

 

[wsucougarx]

Definately was a good time to first and foremost support our troops and their families. Put a call out to support my fellow brothers and sisters in arms and I will be there. We should make it to events like this more frequent. Any more coming up?

 

[srodocker]

Defiantly a good time. i can look around for more support the troop type things. and i can ask around

also josh im down for something like that once i figure out my whole surgery thing. i can use my uncles quads

It was nice to see those that attended. The next event for me will be the Auburn Veterans Day Parade on November 6th. I have a LOT of work to do this winter getting the HEMTT ready for a 1650 mile drive next April.

That looks like it really a fun time to attend. It was too bad that we had to miss it. Just couldn't get it fit in the schedule.

However, funny thing was we actually passed two Stykers loaded on trucks on west bound I-84 last Sunday evening when we were heading back from eastern Oregon after a family visit. Don't know where they were going, or if they were the same ones that visited Lacey. But, they were sure exciting to see loaded on flatbeds and rolling down the road.

Let us know where the next "M.R." is planned for. Would like to see everybody again.

The Strykers at the event were based out of JBLM. They drove them in and drove them out. The pics I listed show them putting "OVERSIZE LOAD" banners on the rear. It was amazing to hear how quite they were. Definately much quieter than our Multifuels. Heck our air horn was even louder. I can honestly say we at least that one thing over the Strykers...that was it.

 

[Medic5050]

Hmm, well maybe we need to add a Stryker to our next big rally.

Not that I'm going to know how to aquire one.

 

[Ronin Warrior]

Scott,

My compliments! Pictures look great and sounds like it was a good time. You made my original point very well. Contacting the people in charge of an event and asking to participate works very well and everyone appreciates the professionalism. Looks like it really paid off.

This is so much better then drinking a six pack or taking a hit off the crack pipe and plowing through some ones event uninvited, like some individuals in the area. Doing it the right way promotes the hobby, rather than turning people off by running through a crowd in a monster hummer.

Again, Well Done!

. . . rather than turning people off by running through a crowd in a monster hummer.

I almost spit my pop on my keyboard! I missed that "stunt" but I'm not surprised by the actions of that individual, I hope I never see IT again.

RW, are you attending that event this fall?

 

[ABN173]

I almost spit my poop on my keyboard! I missed that "stunt" but I'm not surprised by the actions of that individual, I hope I never see IT again.

Oh I obviously missed something, are we talking about that "thing" I have seen off of Canyon RD? So what happend??

 

[Stalwart]

IT, the driver, was being very reckless at the Puyallup Gun Show. There may have been others times that I'm unaware of.
