Improper Use of Gov't Property...

[No.2Diesel]

Thanks for reminding me SpicerGear...

Here's another example of troops trying to recreate the pioneering efforts of the Wright Brothers. You'd think it was Kitty Hawk 1903. Enjoy!!

Hmmm,

That is a good Flick!!!!!!!!!The bed stayed down.whew. Randy

 

[maddawg308]

That flick would have been more exciting if the bed was loaded with dirt or rocks. Course, probably the truck would've disassembled itself upon landing.

 

[tjcouch]

My spine hurts just watching that video.

 

[JDToumanian]

Funny, yet maddening... Not as bad as the one where an A3 gets deliberately trashed, but I have less sympathy for A3s.

 

[Cdub]

Hahahahaha.........They actually got real good AIR on the last jump...Hahahaha...

almost as good as driving a rental car........Hahahaha....

kinda reminds me of when I rented a Mustang down if Fla.....The rental company was worried about any dings or scratches.....but they never checked the rear tires.....Hahahaha....

seya,

C'dub

 

[Jake0147]

That's got to be painful.

 

[D-Man]

I am impressed by how much air he got on the last "jump". Don't know if I would ever be up for doing that in mine or one in the motorpool, though.

 

[hndrsonj]

Yeah, funny except the dumba$$ should have NJP for destroying govt property!

 

[Blood_of_Tyrants]

There is one video of some soldiers or Marines jumping a Hummv. It lands nose first and trashes the truck. The maintenance officer was not amused.

 

[hndrsonj]

Guarantee the chain of commands do not know about these incidents, otherwise they would risk being relieved.

Those soldiers need to be given UCMJ and proper punishment. They are ABUSING taxpayer equipment for absoultely no good reason. If they were under my command, they would hang. Yeah, sounds rather dickish, but if it was your $150,000 truck, you'd think so too..

It is my truck - and yours too. If they did this fleeing certain death - I'd say more power to them. If they broke the frame stacking 155mm rounds above the cab to move to troops that needed them in the heat of battle - and say such is the consequences of war. To do this for "recreation" - these guys need their pay docked, their rank reduced, and their new duty be aligning the Iraqi sand into a formation grain by grain, by hand.

And if the next GI who has the misfortune of driving thistruck suffers a breakdown in a combat zone - then the penalty for the abusers should move up CONSIDERABLY. And to think, these guys are also issued firearms!

Just goes to show how good our trucks have it. The phrsae "nothing offroads like a rental" must have been coined in there somewhere.

 

[dirtyfingernails]

David, As usual your assessment is spot on and I can't add anything beyond your comments.

 

[timntrucks]

oh man is all i can say.
