That's exactly the reason I haven't bid on any trucks at Ft Dix. I stayed here 2 miles from the beach during the hurricane, I know what a lot of these trucks went through. I know of one M923 that spent the night on a Delaware bay beach, idling over night, stuck in the mud with water almost up to the floor of the cab. The M936 that came to pull it out, got it out, but got itself stuck on the way out, and the only thing it had to winch from was the M923, but it was just dragging that back towards it. They left it there overnight, idling, water came up high enough to get the seats wet, truck wasn't running in the morning and the oil was pretty much milk
. It sucked water in through the air filter housing that wasn't sealed up.
They came later in the afternoon and towed it out with a bulldozer and then used the dozer and pushed it onto a lowboy.
Apparently the PFC that was driving it thought he could make it from one road to the other via the beach/marsh- and actually did make it almost all the way, until about 50yds from the other road where it sank. I was really suprised, it made it through what amounts to a creek. It drove along the red line, getting stuck at the yellow X.
...And that's just two trucks I know about from Ft Dix
