This was accomplished by two members of the 3rd ACR, Ft. Bliss TX, in the early 90s, who decided to race in the desert. One ran full speed up the side of a sand dune at an angle. The rest, as they say, is old war stories. <BR/>If it'd had a kickstand, the Cav would've removed it to make their PC lighter and faster :-DB Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11820065559822788663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-78309674587873851122009-02-04T17:48:00.000-05:002009-02-04T17:48:00.000-05:00What do you expect when you let Renault design and...What do you expect when you let Renault design and build a tank?Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-63513393616692899852009-02-04T17:46:00.000-05:002009-02-04T17:46:00.000-05:00That's like a kickstand on a tank.See what happens...<I>That's like a kickstand on a tank.</I><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.civilwarriorcollectables.com/photo/1849-07.jpg" REL="nofollow">See what happens?</A>closedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14642713237849918722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-29919605182082832332009-02-04T15:48:00.000-05:002009-02-04T15:48:00.000-05:00"New from Rube Goldberg Tactical!"Man, wouldn't a ..."New from Rube Goldberg Tactical!"<BR/><BR/>Man, wouldn't a holster just be cheaper?atlharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038518966004553345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-5495051346150231882009-02-04T15:23:00.000-05:002009-02-04T15:23:00.000-05:00I didn't realize that "Israeli" was a new buzzword...I didn't realize that "Israeli" was a new buzzword.

Things got done after that.<BR/><BR/> But, for all the tremendous efficiency of their regular forces, a truely remarkable bunch of people, it's a serious mistake to confuse that group with the entire population.<BR/><BR/> They're about the most likeable group of people I have had the pleasure of meeting, but with a full share of dingleberries, same as anyone else.<BR/><BR/> Fortunately, their competition, while long on nasty, is usually far shorter on brains.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-39928711176461258942009-02-04T15:21:00.000-05:002009-02-04T15:21:00.000-05:00I can actually describe a perfectly good reason fo...I can actually describe a perfectly good reason for such a thing.
