Somebody gonna have some ‘splainin’ to do…and the Company Commander gonna be pissed that HIS ride was stolen.
Shit will flow downhill to the key control NCO.
No keys on a Humvee, only a cable to lock the steering wheel.
You don’t say. I had no clue.
Reserve Center theft? Guarantee its a weekend warrior taking a 5-finger discount.
Whats the phone number where I can buy a pair of binoculars
Off topic but, LA Mayor Karen Bass FIRES fire chief Kristin Crowley after lashing out
Mayor’s office is denying it.
Grab some popcorn.
If I was Chief Crowley I would lawyer up and catch me a trophy Bass.
😆
Mmmmmmm, schadenfreude, …
Is it still called a cat fight when one of the opponents looks like a guy?
This may seem like a heartless response, but …
From that list, it sounds like some … group … is arming up for urban warfare. Seeing that it is in California where despite decades of evidence people keep voting for the same crap, I’m struggling to find my empathy. I know I had it here and put it somewhere for safe keeping, I just can’t seem to locate it at the moment.
It was stolen in California, so thus I wonder what part of Mexico it’s in by now, I bet the drug cartels would like to have that up armored truck!
This is not going to look good on the Yelp review for Ambassador Worldwide Protection Agency. Commander Thomas “Turd” Bolling was unavailable for comment.
Don’t worry, they won’t get far, they don’t have a trip ticket and the Road Master is in no mood to cut them any slack.
It’s a hummer, you have to post a 3522 mech with each one to keep them running. They will soon be found with more shut down codes than will fit in a mailbox with no door.
“8 machine gun vehicle mount”
What good is the mount without the…you know…the thing.
Nothing lethal in the whole lot. Saw an article that said the thieves tried, and failed, to get into a uniform storage area.
Back on topic of army shit. I was stationed at least 2 Naval Reserve Centers that shared a common fence compound with the Army Reserve. Security seemed to be an after thought with those guys. My Navy reseve unit had 1 jeep and they had tanks, trucks, jeeps, etc. We took more pains to be sure our one jeep was where it was supposed to be becaue I had to do the paper work. I could go to the compound after a weekend army drill and find the garage, offices, gate, etc unlocked and no one around.
Nothing has changed BZ
An unnamed training area in Hawaii on the big Island had lots of duece and a half’s on it in good shape. When certain Jarhead mechanics went there for training, all of a sudden our piece of shit Viet of the Nam left overs were running and looking better. It was a fukin miracle private joker.
‘stealing mil-spec stuff. Part of me pities the fools who’d steal mil-spec stuff.
Whyzit the excitement level towards mil-spec stuff goes from
So, this Army Reserve Center had NO video surveillance?
