Thought you all might like this photograph.

Young Marine took this yesterday at a MAC Base, which I cannot disclose. Aircraft it is being loaded onto, destination and mission all cannot be shared.

What can be shared is that our beloved CUCV’s are still on active duty after all these years.

DMLII sends respectfully

Awesome! Nice to see they are still in service after all these years.

I guess the same goes for the good ol' M2.

Up untill the beginning of last year,1008s and 1009s and an occasional 1031 could be seen running up and down RT9 from Camp Smith in Peekskill NY. Mostly M1009s though.

Funny that us Jarheads were still using the M151 when I was in the Corps. Loved that vehicle. Did not see an O9 till I went to Hunter Liggett for joint excersize. The Army had them but not us?

I just saw 3 marines in a old ratty m1009 going south bound on 55 near joilet!! I was shocked to see one still in use!!

I saw my first Marine M1009 while at PTA (Pohakuloa Training Area, Hawaii) in late 1984, and other bases after that. Never saw very many of them, but I got out of the Corps in late 1986.

Cheers

Thats awesome!

I've seen a couple M1008's in a few Nat. Guard/Army Reserve yards in Wisc. Never seen any 08's or 09's actually being driven on the road though (aside from one or two civilian/municipal owned ones).

There appears to be a M1008 behind it and to the right as well in that picture. Very cool that they are still in use

The first time I seen and drove a M1009 and M1008 Is in 85 when we were at Ft Riley KS guarding an ammo dump In the middle of nowhere raining like cats and dogs and knee deep In mud. Oh the memories of when I cought the bug to want one.

The Marines still run the UH1 and AH1.

And, is that an M101 attached to the M1008?

I wondered same scottladdy. Pretty sure M1008. Hope some one can give a positive ID on Trailer.
