Bought A Tank

So, CARNAC, What have you done to your TANK today/lately?

Have you run the VIN yet to find out what unit it came from?
If nothing comes back it could be possible that you have one of the rare Air Force M1A1s purchased by mistake when a personnel specialist
transposed two digits on the NSN of a box of paperclips. I heard they were never put into service and were put into underground storage at a secret Air National Guard Base and have been there all these years.

Where did you put the license plate?

You should upgrade the gun for one of these 16 inch ones up for sale on GL
0001 - Uncategorized at Government Liquidation
You might have to put one on the back to balance it out though. Maybe you can get some ammo on gunbroker

There is this used M1A1 for sale I am considering buying that is for sale on craigslist
http://waco.craigslist.org/cto/2240954779.html
Owner says it has some actual combat use in Texas some years back.

I want to bid on some F-111s at DM. The wife says I can only get two, there are four in the lot, Anyone want to split this one with me.....preferably somebody that can show me how to fly one.

Gee, I went to the Craigslist ad and it is gone...Crap!

I am trying to keep up with my neighbors and they told me they are getting an Abrahms just like Carnac.

I bet you have to know someone to actually get the bid list for those puppies!

Yeah, the 16" gun would look sweet on the M1A1. Better yet, Carnac could mount one in his C5. Imagine the look on the enemies face when he lobs a 16 inch shell into their hole from ABOVE!!!!!!

M1A2HASEP(TUSK) got the v10 computer upgrade. I have furthermore worked with Rheinmetall to develop a white phosphorus round since I can never seem to find my lighter when I need it.

Redoing the reactor in the Enterprise starting next week.

Dang, they found that one....good thing the other two are hidden elsewhere.
Don't worry CARNAC...the CAMO salvage divers were able to secure the marzel vanes before it was discovered!
They are currently being stored in subliminal phase detractors and will be ready for use when you are ready. [thumbzup]

A couple of things:

I think I need a tow. I was flying my F22 back that the EUC cleared last week and I lost all power. I left it parked at 22,000 feet in a cloud that's shaped like a lion. Figured nobody would find it there since I didn't have a key to lock it.

Also, I need someone to give me a hand on the Abrams. On the T-case there is are two holes. One has what appears to be a plug in it and the other is open. Should there be something in that hole?????????

Also, what tools are you other Abrams drivers carrying around on a daily basis? I'm getting tired of lugging everything out and filling the bustle rack each day. I'm kinda thinking of just carrying a hammer to test for armor soft spots.

So are you going to put a Home Depot snorkel kit on your new F22 ?
