I'm going to call one of trucks a Duck, but that's more to just dig at Clinto so I can say I have one and he doesn't.

We should stop calling CCKW's CCKW and start calling them DUKWA0's.

I mean, that sounds cooler and that's really the point of all this: People want to say all that alphabet soup because they think it sounds cooler.

Calling your truck an A0 is the army truck equivalent of "tacticool":http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Tacticool

A Hummer H2 is a very tacticool SUV.

That is the funniest thing I have heard in a long long time.

... What would be confusing is seeing an XM_ _ _A1/A2...... second and third generations yet designated prototype/experimental.
'splain that one!
I have an XM105E3 1964 Ordnance Stock, Inc. (identical to M105A2). Maybe it's the 3rd iteration of the prototype?

While I've been guilty of using the A0 suffix when discussing the various models , I usually say "dually M931", but in writing I usually just put M931. Probably "the basic model of M931" is the phrase I should use since it is a descriptive phrase rather than a name, .

You may notice the moderators deleting your incorrect posts.

Would any of you describe your A2 "with 8.3?"

Just call it what it is or be prepared to be questioned and corrected.
