Lol gently caress going the Portland route to Yakima. Never had to do it except when I was already out and drinking beers in Leavenworth when the pass got closed and I had to be home the next day. gently caress you if you're still in.

The old ones I'm pretty sure were from the Army's initial stryker fielding and had sat in the motorpool doing nothing through multiple deployments. I know my unit's strykers had a lot of water damage when they got back late 2013/early 2014 from Afghanistan.

We've only done one YTC rotation since having the new ones and they definitely hold up better than the old ones did on the way to YTC.

It doesn't help that mechanics are only just now learning how to fix strykers since the General Dynamics contract meant that it was GD almost exclusively working on strykers until relatively recently, at least from what I understand anyway.

Yeah, 2008-2011 timeframe that I was at Lewis running strikers, basically anything barely into the level 2 maintenance zone was handed off to GD.

There's pros and cons of being light vs mech but man I loved being mech except when we had to do maintenance. But really it wasn't that bad. Being warm in Graf and Hohenfels was the best.

I've probably posted about it here before. He got kicked out of our PSD for COL Tunnell for stealing a gator from the Canadians on KAF and then got sent out to battalion where he did all that poo poo. He's still in Leavenworth and I don't know how long but it's going to be a long time.

If you aren't a retard bitch the RWS is pretty drat good. Pray you have a VC/Gunner or however you assign it (I was the VC of my Stryker, and gunner) that is competent with the M2 or Mk19 along with the RWS. It's not that hard but then again it's the army and loving lol. Stay popped out of the hatch for close to medium range scanning, jump down and get on the RWS for long range scanning. Also yeah do the Rambo thing because who doesn't wanna be Rambo with a fiddy? Pussies, that's who :colbert:

About the only time I felt it was genuine, "support are troops" was when I was flying back from leave to get back to Iraq. Some big storms or some poo poo cancelled a bunch of flights so I got stuck in Dallas for the weekend. These three old ladies were with a big group of people welcoming troops and all that poo poo. They took me and some other guys out to dinner so we weren't stuck in the hotel and bought us food and booze. Then they brought us to one of their houses and hung out with their family. They were really nice and genuinely gave a poo poo, not just empty platitudes. I kept in touch with them for a while on Facebook for years too. gently caress, even with my stupid family it's just empty platitudes, like I'm kind of cutting off contact with my family right now because of I'm just loving tired of their poo poo, I laid it all out to my aunt about all the poo poo, especially how my family didn't even bother to mail me letters or try to call me while I was deployed to see how I was doing, or bother being there for me once I got out and was dealing with all the crazy poo poo in my head. She just straight up went into this bullshit making it about her and how she was ashamed she wasn't there for me and she supports the troops and bla bla bla. gently caress, the only people that have been there for me are my girlfriend, my war buddies, you guys, and some little old ladies from Dallas.
