FT HOOD Museum Pics

[Katahdin]

Hey guys, as some of you know I'm down at Fort Hood visiting with my brother. I'm seeing lots of great stuff so I'm going to post my pictures here. This may take me a few days to do with my trip schedule so please bear with me. I'm also going back to the base Wednesday and may be able to get some more pics.

First, this picture I'm dedicating to doghead:



(Its from the on-base Chili's restaurant)

Lots of good scenery out there.....Hood was one of the bases I never got to visit while serving. Maybe one day I can make a trip out there.

The drive around motor pool road when both divisions where on post was awesome.

Remember, there is a second vehicle museum/display a few blocks east of the main one, some neat vehicles there. There is also a V100 outside the 720th MP headquarters building. There are lots of static vehicles, and even an A-10, outside various buildings around the base (which is huge).

Cheers

I am really digging that m37 dump and the m74. But the dump truck would be awesome.

This M37 looks like it has a RATT shelter on it. Is this correct? I've seen such shelters on M880 and M1008s, but not M37s. To be fair though, I served in the 1970s through the 1990s and except for Panama I didn't serve overseas where M37s were a common sight.
Great pics from FT Hood by the way. FT Knox used to have a pretty good collection of armor vehicles too but they were all shipped off to FT Benning when the Armor school moved to that post.
For the Air Force Zoomies here is a Warthog at FT Campbell, KY for your viewing pleasure.

Sorry for the duplicate post guys. I was trying to modify the picture location. I can't find a button to delete the extra post so mods delete as appropriate.

Largest military installation in the "free world" if I remember correctly. Didn't miss it when I was there, but now, looking back????? Killeen on payday! OMG! LOL Harker Heights?
God bless,
