Hi,
I just came back from a trip to JBLM. While I was there I took pictures of the jeeps left on post.
I could not believe how some them are left to rot at a "museum display"!

This one was restored by the DoL on post and it is being used by the I CORPS Commander for parades and reviews.
It is located at the DoL paint shop on post.

I guess it beats the alternative which was crushing them.SNOOPY wrote:I could not believe how some them are left to rot at a "museum display"!
They still had the old wooden barracks up on North Fort when I was there back in '06 & '07. They were still used by ROTC and transient units like ours.199th mp wrote:thanks for posting these, snoopy---i wonder if those old barracks still exist that we were in in the late 60's for basic and AIT. that one highly polished parade jeep never looked like that in service i'd bet! wonder how many original miles are on it?
