Old 1st US Army home. Hmmm, still could be 131st but, hmmmm. B 13th of 1st Army doesn't pass the common sense test. I still kinda think they are not original for the B131.

Generator got over an hour of workout a few days ago. AC works. Working to get a power cable. distribution box still sitting at parents but should have it here in late july. 7 cases of water, 2 cases of Gatorade, cans of food, extra dog food, batteries for flashlight and radio, etc, etc...

Bump

It also goes back to my time where in dealing with bumper numbers a picture isn't always the best way to tell. Folks should also put down what they see cause it is difficult to tell what the center photo has on it. Helps to know where you got it. That way if it is direct from the govt, we...

I have a partial pallet of Hardigg cases at Ft Hood I need picked up. I have no idea when they do pickups but will check tomorrow. It is not with GOVPlanet. This would most likely be a pickup and hold. I will either be coming up Saturday the 15th or the following Friday or Saturday.

I recall hauling two sets from MO to MD on a M1061 trailer behind my deuce. As soon as they hit the trailer the suspension groaned. The truck was groaning going up and down the Appalachian Mountains. Roughly what are shoes bringing these days (granted it's based on condition but what's the...

How big is it? I have family 40 miles away. They picked up some stuff for me in the past but had to take time off work to do so. I can check and see if they can do it. They only have a single axle box trailer so it would only be for small stuff that can be lifted with a yard tractor bucket.

Outstanding. The SdKfz-251 and the 250 series have always amazed me. Not sure what it is about them but they are just so cool. Fully understand this is an OT810. I saw an actual SdKfz-251/1 (I think it was an Ausf C) this past week at Ft Bliss along with a 88mm Flak 36, 105mm leFH18/40...

I think fuzzy toaster sells them.

Yep, work did out annual briefing a couple weeks ago. Just got home last night and pulling DRASH out today.

Well there ya go.

Too easy. 1st Medical Brigade 61st Multi-functional Medical Battalion Out of Ft Hood.

Yes. Seen it myself in cans. Don't think it is battleship gray, it is the color of the navy helo's.

Yep, the Dragon. I was a qualified gunner for it. Never fired a live one but saw it done twice. The missile had a tendency to slightly depress the tube during launch. We were warned of this. Sure enough, the first life fire I saw the firer skipped it into the ground on launch and it was all...

If it was loaded on a truck then no. Mine is with me now. I drove it up to PA and got an amazing 1 mile to the gallon averaging 67.4 mph (including stops). Better fuel mileage than my Abrams or the aircraft carrier or my antique F14. Getting the radiation shielding inserted and tested so...

I bought a second Bradley and upengined it, with larger tires now. It does 90mph....uphill at a 65% grade, against a 120mph headwind, in 6 feet of snow in the middle of a sandstorm.

Past the convoy as they were entering the museum (good timing but the trip took longer than anticipated). Talked to Paul the site security guard for over an hour. Took numb nuts for a walk. Folks started flooding in as the day went by. Nice showing and glad I went. Finally got to meet...

I’m good. Just got finished a great conversation with Paul.

How does one get in? Gate is locked or am I at the wrong place?

Sounds good. Time for me to get a couple of hours sleep. See you all in the morning.
