Actually that was taken in the Green Zone if my memory serves me. That cable is actually the wiring harness for the mine plow control box and for power to motors on the plow. I was so happy to get a full size right side periscope once we finally took it off. We did have battery problems and later ended up changing almost all them. That was much later though. "Atilla the Gun" was the tank that had so many things wrong with her, but would never give up. She could move and she could shoot. That's all she cared about. Tank had personality. Her biggest problem was that she was an AIMS tank. Hated that system. Yeah, on second thought there's no way that uniform would fly in basic, unless somehow you got smoked for 5 days straight. Also, she leaked every fluid she could, damn near. I don't think they makes ones that don't.

Rapid onset H1N1, on top of viral bronchitis. Temp spiked to 103.7, had to go in. Wait. You got the fucken swine flu? Yup, it's fucking hell.

Without quoting all above. Absolutely. You should always be worried when they don't leak. And I was issued BDUs in OSUT, didn't get the ACUs until I was in Germany for about 4 months. In Iraq, I was the epitomy of a dirty ass tanker. I dove in head first to any issues on that tank. Helped split the pack for a transmission change and everything else the mechanics were working on. She was my baby and I didn't let anybody touch her except for the 3 mechanics I trusted. I changed her hubs when one would get blown out by an IED, changed her road wheels, made sure her final drives were full, checked her track regularly, kept her lubed properly, gave her the 2 minute cooldown every time, and tucked her in to bed at the end of the day.
And Silver! Get over that damned FLU!!!!

Richard can I play with your tank? It's only a communist experiment.

_ Aaaaaaand, here's the Doc in his office, looking scraggly as ever. I'd say I forgot to comb my hair, but I'd be a terrible liar.
