Instant O/O and Loadboards II

I could make so many bad jokes off of that one, but alas we aren't in the "special" thread.

 

A TOW of course.. I'm very familiar with those. Plus I like the wire guidance..

 

the white hippo sent us to try to stop operations... he is doing his sideways victory dance early...

 

I went to bed at 0400 CST the other morning in Salt Lake. At that time it was 72 degrees. I had the truck off, the front windows cracked and my bunk windows open and was sleeping with a light blanket. I woke up at 0915 CST freezing my butt off. I closed the windows, cranked the truck and grabbed a comforter. When I pushed the tell tale button, it said that the current temp then was 36 degrees. That cold air moved in quick.lol

 

You DO know those are gone now, right?

 

They should be.. I worked on them back in the early 80's.. I didn't know there were gone though.. What are they putting on the Bradleys now?

 

Not a clue. The Corps doesn't use Bradleys.

 

I used to work for Hughes Aircraft. We manufactured the TOW.. Didn't it also go on the Cobra?

 

I think it did once upon a time. My fondest memories as a grunt was sitting next to one of those d#*m things when the tow gunners fired.

 

No they aren't They still have them on the Bradleys..
