LOL! Fer shure. We got a lot of respect from the infantry, eh? I'll never forget one dark night we were on maneuvers and doing a passage of lines through a dismounted infantry unit. They were supposed to point filtered flashlights at us so we wouldn't run 'em over. As we rumbled up to the front lines, I never so so many lights in my life. They had everything turned on.

I heard that. I knew an E6 Infantryman who had a misshapen head. He had actually been run over while he slept on the ground in Hohenfels. Tank went right over his head. It was the mud that saved him. Still cracked his noggin open though. He was just a PFC when it happened- it obviously didn't affect his career choice any and he seemed normal enough so it must not have affected his gearbox too much either (other than the cosmetic work). Good soldier he was.
