Wow - good to see the troops are still doing silly things down range . We did things to our HUMMERS over there that shouldent be discussed to protect the guilty . Things like blowing the radiator hose while trying to pull down a palm tree . No photos to prove it - thank God .

These secret stories would make for some remarkable dioramas. I wonder if Miloslav would consider doing one. He has the Stryker already.

Great photos. My Sergeant always said that nothing is ever soldier proof. and that you could give a solid block of metal to some soldiers and they'd find a interesting way to break it!!!

It was our job, (at the Govt expense) to come up with insane and inventive ways to distract our selves in down times. It is the enlisted man's inherant responsiblity! "Let's see what happens." comes up alot at those times. USMC Semper-Fi!!!!!!
