[QUOTE="texan, post: 981552, member: 38206"] [B]I remember them well. I was at Fort Bliss 3rd Armored Cav. I started as 63A10 Automotive Mechanic. No openings in I-3-3. They told me you can go 11B, 11C, 11D or 11E I opted for tanker 11E. So next thing I know I was driving a tank. We had M114s and M113 also in the unit. Finally an opening in the motor pool came, and I got back to 63 series. Then I fixed the 113s, 114s, and the small bit of wheeled vechicles we had, to include the Gamma Goat, and the good old jeeps and duce and a halfs. The 50 cal was and is a nice weapon. It does not play. M114s had the 20MM. That was a real nice weapon also. I enjoyed Tank Gunnery. When we all go out the range and practice. Re "Although this clip shows troops riding inside it nobody ever did" That is a fact. The track beat the tar out of you inside it when it was going, and the noise was very loud. [/B] [/QUOTE]
