WhoooooooooooooooOOPS!
Now THAT, as we used to say, was a "snot dropper".

9. I had one that leaned.....oddly to the left
No sh*t we took the turret off and everything but no one (even a United Defense guy)could figure out why. It shot and moved great but it leaned to the left (if you were in in the track). Funny, it was the Lt.'s track and sat on the end of the platoon line where everyone could see it.

When ever we had an inspection or a visitor they would get about 10 feet in the track park and say "Hey why is that Brad leaning?"

Lt."Well sir...."

Captian"We are working on it sir"

One day a shortee happened to be smoking a cigarette and yelled out "Because they SUCK just like everything else in this freak show"-no it wasn't me that said that.

6. I am glad I am not driving in Iraq.
The American's have more trouble driving in that country than I have ever heard about. It is like the stock car kids are now in the army.

Track jacks, spud bars and sledge hammers are on the way, in the M-88! I'm glad I'm old!

The TC screamed, "I Said, Your other LEFT Gawddamnit!"
