JohnDillon Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Driving around today in Iraq in the 53,000lbs MRAP and my driver almost rolled us over, a fortunate cement block in the ditch saved us, but dang, it was a close oneThese things are great for IED's and small arms fire, but they are incredibly top heavy and most fatalities occur from roll overs. The worst part is...IT CRACKED THE SCREEN ON MY ITOUCH!$@!% "Oh, no room for Bender, huh? Fine! I'll go build my own lunar lander, with blackjack and hookers.

JohnDillon Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 I'm in the military, the gentleman you see in the picture is a contractor. "Oh, no room for Bender, huh? Fine!

Lenticular_J Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I thought MRAPs were only deployed to Afghanistan? Or is that something else I'm thinking of? Ah well. I guess your driver feels sort of bad. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDillon Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 As far as I know they are in Afghanistan. I imagine the ones here will end up over there soon as the war here draws to an end, or given to the Iraqi Army. They are pretty awesome though, you feel very safe driving in one of those bad boys.

JohnDillon Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 There are certain things I cannot say about this vehicle or show pictures of. With the internet overseas and soldiers using Facebook we are constantly briefed on what constitues information violating operational security. This doesn't fall into that category, you can see the outside of an MRAP on google if you wanted. "Oh, no room for Bender, huh? Fine! I'll go build my own lunar lander, with blackjack and hookers.

Kriegsmier Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 OPSEC....lol. Its a joke most times. What branch of service? Army? What part of Iraq (PM me if you need/want to) I just got back from TQ. Yeah, and those MRAPs are also uncomfortable to ride in. Pretty bumpy ride, and you hit your head often. Cool thing is, and this I can reveal to you ;) A lot of them have speakers that can plug into an Ipod. MRAPs are in Iraq and Afghanistan. Afghanistan just got the brand new ones that are replacing the HUMMWV. MRAP ATV (M-ATV)....these things are just plain SICK looking. We ship more and more out from Charleston each day. Every day i drive by them and wish I had one for fun purposes.[hide][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariusman Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Reminds me of this: How do you embed Youtube videos in these forums nowadays? There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.

Now THAT is awesome! =D> :grin: Just so we're clear, though; are they REALLY allowed to do that sort of stupid [cabbage] with the equipment over there? Sure, it helps with morale, but I don't think that's very safe. Still, that was funny as all Hell.

Kriegsmier Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Allowed? Not technically on paper/rules. But some commands don't really care that much as long as no one gets hurt. That'd be a butt chewing, but probably nothing more. Well worth it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
