May 2006 Military Whoops!


It's Addicting

 Hmmwv Hummer Passenger Side Mud

After a bet between squad members, our HMMWV ended up here. After seven hours and the help of an 8x8 HEMTT, we made it back to camp.

Mud Anchor

 Army Hummer Rear View Mud

I am currently in Iraq and on patrol. One day, we managed to get our uparmored Hummers stuck. I guess the 13,000-pound Hummers just can't go muddin' like my '97 Silverado back home.

Civvies...

 Military Truck Tow

This is a civilian contractor who, while his efforts are applauded, obviously overestimated the capabilities of his tanker.

Bogged

 M88a1 Recovery Vehicle Tow

I don't really know how this happened, but I do know that it took four M88A1 recovery vehicles and 12 hours to extract this tank. Not to mention that the soldiers had to pull security for us while we worked.

Don't Go There

 Amry Tank Front View Push

We have a saying at Camp LeJeune: "Tanks don't go where cattails grow." Guess he didn't see the cattails.
