The worst part of getting stuck like that was this, not a single Abrams, Bradley, OR Paladin driver offered to pull us out.Want some cheese with that whine?
How many treadheads with thrown tracks did you ever stop and offer to help?
Standard price for vehicle recovery has traditionally been cases of beer. What brand were you offering?

Several, actually.
not that we could help out much other than give one of them a ride to a linkup point with the tank recovery vehicle.. that was sitting still listening to teh radio and laughing at the thrown track.
*grr*

Ft Drum Standard: Becks. The worst stuff available.(Kidding!)
Usually, we dragged people kicking and screaming with us out to Watertown and drank the area bars dry.
(Our Cap didn't allow us to barter that way with beer on post. "Not conducive to operational performance" he said. Like being stuck axle deep in sand was conducive to operational performance..)
Our Cap was a jerk.
