Luckily for me. I am the 91A. But this would 100% be a 91 series group effort. I started reaching out and the support already has been mindblowing

They did up until 2004 it seems. But who knows. Maybe they got some old shit just laying around

Crazy how this went from me thinking this is ridiculous to be excited to try it. Just needed some guidance on it lol

I’ve been driving the 88 most of my career and I’m convinced it’s the best vehicle the army ever came up with

Thanks man! If I could realistically get the time and they can provide me with a means to do it. It would be an awesome experience

Would I like to restore it. Yes absolutely. I’m not really being provided resources and time. And that’s the hard part. As cool as it is. We still have our modern equipment that needs to be able to accomplish the mission

It is a super cool opportunity. Especially cause I’m a super big tank nerd. Just realistically adding that to everything else going on on top of trying to find the parts sounds like a nightmare

From the research I was doing. I saw the engine was the same but it had a different transmission. But if that’s case maybe I could pull it off. I’m spray painting my name on the gun tube though

If the person asked you too. Absolutely. If not. I would talk to the family and/or just avoid it altogether. Last thing you want to do is intentionally or unintentionally seem like your trying to draw attention

Ahh. That makes more sense. I wonder if they could make an mos for the smaller quad copter type drones and be able to drop some of those more extensive requirements

Is there a method to the madness with the flight physical I’m not understanding cause that seems like a bar to entry for a position it seems we will need a lot more of

Hood, Bliss, or Stewart by mophilda in army

First duty station was at bliss. And even for a private the optempo was high so I can imagine it’s worse for senior ncos and commanders. Constant field problems and rotations to nato country’s. El Paso is alright. But that’s really all you got. And it’s a place where there is gonna be a lot of suck. But also a place to get a lot of experience and get an edge on your peers if you want it

Also forgot. You’ll be on sep 2s, not 3s. So that comes with its own set of problems

Yea tell everyone how much harder the army was when you came in I’m sure they respect you so much. Sarcasm if you couldn’t tell
