    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2018 - September VOTE HERE!

    Congratz to Big Mike! Winner of the popular vote of opinions and persuasions. In my view - EVERY MV is a winner in some regard. And this is not a contest of quantitative measurement, but a very NON-scientific casting of whimsical opinions. Lets keep it FUN ! Please. :-D

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    The square holes are "lightning holes".... You know - Where you stow your Lightning Bolts (they aren't ROUND). Uh... Wait a minute.... Surely I'm mistaken. They must be LIGHTENING HOLES - as in, "deleting" unnecessary structural material so as to LIGHTEN the vehicle. But let's face it...

    When do you think OshKosh LATVs will be available?

    If anyone is going to hold their breath awaiting the release of LATV's to the populace, I would highly recommend they install a FORDING KIT on themselves.... It's going to be a LONG, LONG TIME underwater until any surface at auction.

    K53 Communications Van BOX found... (May 2018)

    "Bless me, Father, for I have an MV addiction....." ...And who says I don't already claim the costs of that Green Iron Enterprise on a Schedule C ????rofl Those expenses are absolutely UNREIMBURSED!!! In fact, by the good graces of another SS Member here I already have a "starters set" of US...

    K53 Communications Van BOX found... (May 2018)

    I am already chasing some leads on that acquisition. Can't say it's an "active" search... more passive right now... but if the Good Lord drops one in front of me you can rest assured I'll be checking it out [thumbzup]

    K53 Communications Van BOX found... (May 2018)

    Thanks! That's exactly why I'm surely agreeable to a S-L-O-W recovery schedule. I'd prefer planning this recovery as though we truly will be moving a piece of "living history". There just aren't many of her species surviving nowadays. There aren't really any "battle scars" on her, and I don't...

    K53 Communications Van BOX found... (May 2018)

    Well, boys and girls, it's been a month and a half since the last post to this thread. I finally have an update. In a nutshell... They have agreed to let go of the K53 Communications Box!!! Details of the "deal" will be posted only after the mission is completed... and that may take a few...

    M-114

    I concur! BIGGER TRACKS should improve your top-end speed, but you'll lose a bit of acceleration and low speed torque. I'd also consider turning up the I.P., installing a fording kit for taking those off-road shortcuts.

    Alas, I was WRONG.... ....which reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwkU8-d1gIk And the readers LAUGHED!!! By the way.... My wife, Dianna, was born in Roswell NM in 1967 - yes the gestation period for aliens is 20 years! Her 1/2 brother still lives there in their...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I'm not seeing any license plate lights on these installations. Do your States not require that the License Plate be illuminated???

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yup... That's been my experience too. It's roughly akin to pushing a rope... or a piece of spaghetti !:doh: There's a whole lot of hit-and-miss in hitting the target. It takes a lot more patience than skill.

    Just Bought an M35A2

    No help from me on deciphering your bumper numbers BUT.... You may find that BRAKE FLUID and GENTLE RUBBING is a more delicate way to perform "archeological digging" through layers of paint.

    NSA Museum gets EC-130H for Display

    I would certainly like to return to Ft Meade to recon the changes since I left there in 1979. Thanks to internet MAPS I can at least get an "overview" (Pun intended). My overseas travel was similarly restricted. Although it was my last overseas TDY which found us extricated under live fire...

    NSA Museum gets EC-130H for Display

    Thank your mom for her service please. Although you mentioned she had only a high school degree, rest assured that she was attending classes (and possibly teaching a few too) during her entire tenure there. During my own 4-year enlistment and assignment to NSA, I accumulated so many Credits...
