Frank, Thank you for the update. I MERGED your new thread with the pre-existing thread originally posted on this wreck so that those members already subscribed will get the update without having to hunt around for the "continuation". It's interesting reading indeed. John

We lift our hearts in prayer for all those involved in this fatal wreck. We pray for the first responders and all who will be taking follow-up actions. Has it been determined if the casualty was an SS Member? What username? Thank you. John

If called upon in an emergency, for a whole basketful of reasons, I have always asked to be DEPUTIZED for the duration of the service. This automatically throws an umbrella of protection from another whole basketful of possible problems. I have never been denied the reciprocal request when...

For the record..... Post #3986 in this thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?62008-quot-MV-Spotted-quot-thread also talks about this rig.

Our prayers for you and your wife. We pray healing and recovery for injuries and financial restoration with your job loss. We also pray for the young man involved in this collision. PM sent. John SS Chaplain

Before operating an MV it is highly advised to read the TM's for the vehicle. The TM for operating a Deuce (and numerous other TM's/Vehicles) REQUIRES the employment of a "SOLDIER B" to assist with backing movements.

NOTICE: BEFORE POSTING, please re-read posts #22 & #23 (quoted below) Keeping the separation of these two topics is intentionally defined. Your cooperation is appreciated. Thank you.

I was just thinking that if someone just didn't want to read the TM's, then all they'd have to do is a GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH. And then they could look at thousands of purty pictures. Just imagine, if each picture is worth a thousand words...... But alas, I dream.

Ditto.... DO NOT OPERATE YOUR DEUCE - YOUR BRAKES HAVE SUFFERED A MAJOR MALFUNCTION. Repair your airpack and SAVE LIVES ! ! !

To err is human. To err out of human pride is ignorant. We MUST remember that the P in PMCS is for PREVENTATIVE... and we MUST PREVENT that which is within our power to PREVENT. Thank you for creating this thread. And thank you to all who post up constructive contributions. John

Nice thread! There is a similar thread about "Contraband" found in acquired MV's but I've been unable to find that one using the SEARCH function. Can anyone provide a link. *********************************************************** All we found in our Deuce was a excellent running truck in...

Having referred this to a seasoned Moderator, we agree... PLEASE address your ARMOR and FORENSIC concerns and discussion in THIS THREAD. Whereas, as intended in the Chaplain's Corner, let's keep our spiritual and condolence posts over in that thread, found in the link above. Thank you all for...

Well, last Thursday was supposed to be our 2015 Toys For Tots kick-off event here in San Angelo, TX. However, due to predictions of rain and foul weather it has been postponed until tomorrow evening. UNFORTUNETLY, I will be out of town on business for the City Board upon which I serve as...

OUCH! The ol' expression "You snooze, you loose," comes to mind. But I sure don't want to rub your nose in it. I'll promise that should I make it to the Rally next year, I'll be your alarm clock's Soldier B if you don't roll out in time.

A parallel thread can be found it the Chaplain's Corner. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?146335-Steve-Preston-amp-Austin-Lee-lost-in-Explosion-Aboard-1944-M-18-Hellcat&p=1787457#post1787457 I would suggest that this thread be reserved for ARMOR FORENSIC discussion, and the other be...

As you know, I am an enthusiastic ambassador for the MV hobby. One question begs to be answered here.... Will we be welcoming Mr. Unser into our hobby anytime soon? Why not, Arnold has a tank! Carry on.

OK.... After I got home, I stepped outside, opened the door on our Deuce - The ARK - and, while standing on the ground (NOTE: Clutch ENGAGED with Transmission and Transer Case in NEUTRAL, AND NO pressure on the "Gas Pedal") here's exactly what I recorded..... https://youtu.be/P0vPVuSo2VI As...

Our Deuce was formerly a brushfire truck that we purchased from the VFD/County that owned it. On our very first visit to the truck, after doing a pre-start walk around and such, I pressed the start button and it was like starting an electric motor... I never really heard her "crank", she just...
