Well, some have been following my trials and tribulations of being a Tanker in an Infantry Company...lots of long walks and small arms ranges...hasta

Here is a few pics of my new ride... Mobile Gun System Stryker....105 MM fully stabilized cannon, M240C Coaxial machine Gun, .50 Cal for the Vehicle Commander

Nice and clean at new equipment training

Cool, do they field a short barreled version for urban ops ? Like the old airborne version of the sheridan ?

Sweet ride, John! The 'Danger' sign on the cannon cracks me up. Shouldn't that be in Arabic or Farsi though? :D

Not an hour after this pic was taken, my wingman's Stryker bent 2 rims and sliced 4 tires in a rock filled wadi. Yes it will drive just fine.

PS...
Can you come up with something better to razz me about?!!!1
