hmmwv demil code changed

[TMOMW]

after 5 years of fighting i was just able to force DLA to change the demil code of all unarmored HMMWVS. this has just started from C to Q6. this means that 10-20 THOUSAND hmmwvs that were to be crushed are now going to be released to donations (gsa excess) and then to the general public.. this has taken me 5 years, 3 trips to DC, countless meetings with congressional aids, a major investigation, and the GAO having to get involved. but as of right now the DLA has changed the demil codes and the crushing of many hmmwvs has stopped!!!!!!

i would like to thank everyone that has helped me, and i would like to call out the mvpa that has activly tried to stop this (mr clark). its great to have friends and sad when people in the hobby try to screw you over for personal issues that end up hurting the hobby.

So, parts prices will continue to rise...

to be clear this includes a relook at ALL military vehicle demil codes dod wide.
the report i have seen states that the dla has not followed policies when assigning demil codes... and is in the wrong!!!!!!

Cool but interested to see the long term impacts on trucks and parts price and availability. Was hoping prices would appreciate but now truck supply may increase.

We can maybe hope for HEMTTs changing demil also....

Thank you sir for your efforts. Your contribution to the hobby is immense.

Just curious as I do not know specifics but I thought all unarmored hmmwv's were ok to sell? Or is just the USMC that did their own thing with the later models.

What models will be realeased? Is this Army, USAF, and USN units?

Your a Saint! If I ever get back to Wills Point, I will try and find you, Beers on me!

USMC was doing there own thing through a loophole that the DLA was trying to close... and they are running out of vehicles they COULD sell.

I bet Gov Planet might have been a big supporter and I am not trying to take anything away from you effort and struggles. Maybe you might have some insight on that? I have 2 USMC trucks and I don’t really remember anything else being offered in a very long time. All branches have these but I don’t see very many being sold. I see a few Air Force items
I appreciate people that get involved and all of us can do more than sit on the sidelines and bitch!

i had meetings with the top VP of sales at there ft worth office about a year ago... the guy really hates the military and selling MVs... they wanted no part in anything i did. my friends were in sen inhofs office, they really got the ball rolling after i presented them my findings, and reports.

Sounds like VP needs to move on! Gov Planet needs to purge him from daily operations. I swear people work to get into those positions so they can force their Agenda on everyone else. They make so much money off of sales of MV’s

Think of all the money wasted on crushing trucks that could have been sold. Classic government.

seems that the mvpa board is now aware of my actions, releasing MVs from crushing (something that mr clark told me they were fine with) .... they are next.

from what i understand he is now gone.

the board of directors of the mvpa gets some of that blame

So these go through GSA and not gov planet? That would be great
