Gotta love every time a new 151 turns up on the forum. Welcome to the G838 Combat32. What's the plan on your new vehicle?

didn't you say "new"?

I like your plan. :D

I keep saying that, one of these days, I will tear mine down for a restore that it needs but it's just too fun to drive.

Tom,

Careful about simply pounding out a few dents. The next thing you'll end up doing is sanding, priming, re pounding... then you have a serious od problem. This has happened to several folks here. :oops:

OD or OC? I think I got both already, I got enough vehicles in my back yard now to support a Mexican Army operation :D

I did some time in 2AD, I was in the scout platoon HHC 2/66 Armor 2AD (FWD) in North Germany from 88 to 91, served with them in Desert Shield/Desert Storm

I put that on my sig line because I was in that position when the 2AD was reflagged to 4th ID. So I figured I was the last, until they become reinstated. I got to Ft Hood in '93, there were still a lot of guys there from the desert. I started there in the 588 Engineers, as the HHC mechanic. I guess I either po'd or impressed my SMAJ, because he sent me to the Division SMAJ for an interview...I guess I passed.
