Re: My older Tankin' days

Me in the TC spot, center tank.



And stuck, quite stuck indeed.



And shoveling doesn't help.

Very cool pictures CT! Thanks for sharing.

Is that you frantically trying to dig the Abrams out? BTW, that's a totally guy thing to do........"don't worry fellas, I've got a shovel. I'll get us out.....just keep it between us and don't tell the Captain what happened."

Re: My older Tankin' days

The tank was driven into a mudhole that was believed to be 'not deep enough for us!' (famous last words cliche'). Eventually a M-88 pulled us out.

I'll have to keep digging to find some more pictures.
