It's not an Abrahms.<br /><br />Some fellow soldiers that had served in Germany told me that the German army set great emphasis on firing while moving and nearly always won the tank accuracy competitions. Of course, this was back in the early 1980s.Pat H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18297461069687246149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-5429925043943185052019-06-05T15:23:58.623-07:002019-06-05T15:23:58.623-07:00They wanted to give me a bonus if I would enlist a...They wanted to give me a bonus if I would enlist and drive tanks. This was around 1973. Hated to tell then I did so well on the maze tests by working them backwards. Not sure they cared all that much.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708868713277676628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-13550258850116552842019-06-05T10:18:09.067-07:002019-06-05T10:18:09.067-07:00Reminds me of a guy I knew out of high school, had...Reminds me of a guy I knew out of high school, had a tattoo: YATYAS - You Ain't Tracks You Aint Shit<br />LMAO.Frogdaddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-53898303730366851162019-06-05T08:04:15.132-07:002019-06-05T08:04:15.132-07:00I think that as long as there's been armor, so...I think that as long as there's been armor, someone's tried to jump it. I've got a photo of what looks to be either an M2 or M3 light tank jumping a bunch of cars back in the late 30's, so it's nothing new. I really would hate to have been in that thing though...Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202882486960431265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-81086992196519252982019-06-05T07:47:36.824-07:002019-06-05T07:47:36.824-07:00Nice "hooah" photograph for the Armor fo...Nice "hooah" photograph for the Armor folks.<br />I can tell ya though those "Yeehaw" photos we got with air under the hull came at what is now a great cost: I'm about half an inch shorter than I used to be as a consequence of bashing all of the discs out of my neck.
