That’s one way to get rid of old broken down hanger queens that the higher ups refuse to replace.
That is so true.
We never did anything as large as a HMMWV, but old prc-77 radios may or may not have experienced a similar fate.
The thing that surprised me is the new hummers cost up to 220k. Summer 1987, Ft Bragg. We pulled our first hummers out of their crates, price tags still attached. 27k each.
Hopefully for 220k the battery under the front passenger seat doesn’t get so hot you have to put your flak jacket on the seat just to sit down for any length of time.
