@JediTanker “It would have been more exciting if I was not assembling in a barn,”

68 here yesterday…spring is around the corner! Welcome to the forums! I’m a little south of you in Bham.
In Nashville, have the original Crossfire 2x2 from 2018 and now using a Primeweld Cut60, Sheetcam and Mach3. Always tweaking to improve cuts, but at the moment more than happy with up to 1/4" steel quality.
Can’t remember the training unit designator to save my life, but my unit 30th SAB did our transition to M1-IPs in fall 1991 after we got back from the sand box. I originally was a combat medic but MOS requalified a year after I enlisted in 89’.
We took A1’s with us to the litterbox, and got brand new A1’s before crossing neutral zone, 3rd ACR
Sorry for hijack OP…we tank now 
19K life

Thank you…also thanks for helping to replace the final drive I rung off…the pm said missing 3 bolts was okay…right
Well in these modern times of inclusion, I suppose we can consider a grease monkey in an 88 an “honorary” tanker. 
Moar so than

19D I kid, I kid…
I knew deep down inside you loved us.
Yimmy…we were envious of the “rv” interior space…did you get to work with that new M1 based platform? Did they even make them
Beers out…Q out…thanks and tipping hat to all the vets.
Funny note. A friend and his wife came over, she knows the Army / Marine thing, so after the initial greets she said “you guys put up all the crayons, right?” we all laughed our asses off…she said “he will behave and not draw dicks on the walls” they are great couple !@!
We had the M1A1 at Ft.Riley. We got the M1A2 when we went to Iraq my second rotation. When I got out in 2006 I went to work for General Dynamics who designed the M1 and got to work on the M1A2 SEP version.
