I have the best driver in the Platoon and even during the day I have him turn the DVE on so I can see where we're going if I'm duck down for whatever reason. The DVE is great but you can't always see holes and ditches etc through them.

Best driver out of four drivers? He might be good but unfortunately the only way to get good is by deploying as a driver and no one deploys as a driver and stays a driver in garrison.

Have you ever had the thought that maybe the best driver in the Platoon might also be a mouth-breathing retard that shouldn't be trusted with a rifle let alone with a vehicle with actual real live people in it?

The Stryker's suspension is fairly smooth and forgiving. The first time I did it (as a driver), I think the suspension did bottom out, but it wasn't (too) jarring. I suppose it would sound a little silly to say "be careful" when talking about doing something decidedly unsafe like this, but that's what it comes down to; don't go too fast, only jump it on a straightaway, leave lots of room for error, etc.

BUT ANYWAY, it's probably not a good idea. Then again, if you're dumb enough to enlist, you're dumb enough to test a vehicle's top speed on unpaved roads, I guess.

Not allowed to leave the company area, all the NCOs just sat in the offices all day. Eventually someone complained and we got yelled at for not doing more training. So, still not being able to leave the company area to actually do training, we continued to sit there.

Anybody have restaurant recommendations in Clarksville and Nashville? I've been to Dark Horse and a couple places in Nashville but I'm still figuring out the neighborhoods and places where the locals go. No preference really but farm to table is my poo poo.

E: Also, what's the gist of week of the Eagle? We had All American week at Bragg so I'm guessing it'll be similar.
