Fun trip, managed to get out in the M998 (Hummer) and shoot some ball ammo during to Live Fire Exercise which coincided with my birthday (heavy machinery and bullets are better than a cake any day)
kpaske: yeah, I'd definitely like to do a run with everyone someplace this Summer. We cover down on bright-eyed ROTC cadets for the next few months. Never thought I'd be doing this when I PCSed to the Strykers!)
Maybe sometime we can hit lunch. Like to see the rig.

bwahahaha. i was one pair of those bright eyes!Originally Posted by wekilled
sorry for reviving this dead thread, i just did a search for 'stryker' because theres a propoga...err...marketing...err...documentary on right now on the military channel. I'll tell you this: before the summer of 2005, i didn't have a high opinion of strykers. But being at ft lewis in 2005, you learn to really appreciate those things. You stryker brigade guys were pretty enthusiatic about them and i was ridiculously impressed at how QUIET and FAST those things were.

I'm not too familiar with Strykers, are they any good in the sand? If they are,they'd have a good time at Beverly dunes!
I didn't organize a run to Beverly this year for the first time in 8 years, and I have heard some whining about it (like I'm the only one who can organize a dunes run!). Is anyone interested in a trip to Beverly again? If there is interest, maybe we can put something together for late September/early October.

WOW, I got all excited,... the I saw the date. Is there something coming up in the near future. For sure it is driving distants from Olympia.

Nothing is set yet, but I'll put something together if there is interest.

Love to go on a run but am stuck in Mosul till about June of next year. Would actually like to get together with a live human that owns a VX some time after that.
Runs here are a bit "different." Less off-road and more Mad Max or Aliens with the Strykers.

I'd be up for any Pacific Northwest meet in the near future. Especially once I get done with my latest round of mods!*Sundays work best for me right now*
