FMTV Driving Underwater

[niferous]

I'm not sure what these guys were thinking but I'm betting they got into some trouble over this one. I did flood duty a lot in the Guard and when I first joined we were allowed to drive into standing water with a groud guide. Obviously these guys would even have been able to do that. Towards the end of my enlistment the idea of high water rescue in a truck was generally becoming frowned upon if not downright banned.

We did have some morons drive an empty M978 HEMTT fueler into high water once and that was not allowed because they would float! The thing wound up floating into someone's house!

Anyhow here is the video and I hope it hasn't been posted already. I did a search and couldn't find it.

You can save a mod the trouble and delete it yourself.

It must have been fun, but what dumb asses! Can hear him calling the Marines to bail them out. " Send in the Marines and have them bring bigger trucks" he said. NO! WE WILL BRING BOATS. HAHA

those trucks stop working as soon as the fuses get wet. The LMTV familiy is worthless for highwater rescue. they should just show up and off loac aluminum boat and paddles.

Did they think that they would rescue people in the truck??? The right tool for the right job makes all the difference. Why did they not come in a boat??

Stupid people raise our taxes.
