Not to derail the thread. But you kids (can say that cause I know you are younger than me. Ha-ha). Have it a lot better than the early stages of all that stuff. This was my HAT (Heavy Armored Truck). A M923a2 with an upfitted armored cab and cargo box. This thing had to be close in max carry weight (5 tons). When we got her up to speed (near 60mph.) on the hard ball.. she wasn't stopping, and rolling slam thru anything.

Yep. We called it Frankenstein, because all of the bolts in the face of it. We used it for lead and rear gun-truck. Was also used twice for a Casvac vehicle while on mission.

Looking through those pictures gave me some flashbacks of a past life. I used to be a 63B for almost 6 years there... working on trucks in the motorpool. Sure was fun to take those beasts on a "test drive". lol
