Jesus that's amazing. What's it got for a power plant?@Sp!inty I'll put it this way. The torque that comes off of the final drives from the M88A2 is currently immeasurable. We don't have a device that it doesn't red line.

Kinda wish i'd been able to prank you by moving your artillery to a different location. If you install the lock out blocks it'll pick up 35 tons and let you walk around with it. Best to winch it to the hull first though.
I was in track company. Which means we walk everywhere, and few times we get a ride, entire squad and reinforced packed in with full combat load. Usually put our rifles muzzle down and rest ur hands and head on the buttstock and going to sleep like that is the most comfortable position. Once inawhile u have to watch your foot for a boot to Negligently Discharge a burst or two into the deck. They don't ricochet, just goes through. And be stuck in it for 9 hrs holding ur pee.
Another time we're doing some training, got in the AAVs and took off from a ship. We're supposed to land on a shore,drop ramp, and charge out of there like re-enacting D-day. Let me tell u, there is no ventilation, and ppl starts to get sea sick from the motion. The crew man tell us to puke in our kevlars if u have to. As we get closer to the shore, some dude goes off and starts puking in his kevlar. The smell doesn't go anywhere. Everyone is try'n to cover up so they won't smell the puke. Then the AAV hits a coral reef and we tilt. Puke goes flying everywhere and gets on everywhere. Immediately starts a chain of ppl puking left and right. Everyone is try'n to collect their puke in the helmet but its all over their body, gear, and weapons.
Our track finally lands and drops the ramp, and we're supposed to charge out of there (in a hooking formation cuz the ramp is in the back) but instead all of us run toward the sea to puke more... And wash up. End of my AAV story...

Oh no homie, i'm just some army puke. Can't even take that title. Props to the tip of the spear, nah mean?
I'm more like the shaft.
we were all doing the same shit dealing with the biggest cluster fuck, our government. so to me we are all the same. I tried to put my service experience behind me and move on but I get really excited when these military related funny stories pop up on a thread.Oh no homie, i'm just some army puke.

Funny how much something can suck and you look back on it fondly, huh?
