I know why I never have time to fix my stuff

I was off doing "army" work and in three weeks we managed to get a new trailer worth $500,000, and they wrecked it 30 miles from their start on a Jersey Berrier. Several of the statements say they managed to spin the HMMVW and trailer 720 degrees.

Three days later a [censored] off Soldier rolled a 5 ton armored HMMVW over and back on its wheels. Best part, he drove it for over an hour afterwards and then brought it back, parked it and tried to pretend nothing happened. The broken mirror and grass on the roof was a give away but he tried his best.

I came home and sat in my 8 and it all of a sudden seems like it was perfect
 
What kind of training is that? "Aaaaarmy training sir!"

Ya know..."These are the kind of go getters we need for the new UAV...."

First of all let me say, on behalf of myself and my family, that I cannot fully express my gratitude to our military personnel for their service.

But remember that a lot of soldiers are in the 18-25 year age range that auto insurance companies have the hardest time with.
 
As a Vietnam vet myself, I fully support our men but there are some less than the best in our armed forces that are just there taking up space. I could tell some stories as well.

Thanks to all that have served.

LOL - that is a hoot. I can imagine the Soldier walking away trying to act casual.
 
I was a Sarge in a Trans platoon for a couple of years. I know your pain.
 
Guess that HEAT training came in handy on that rollover.....
