Funny Vetrans Day Photos of Me - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**jeffahart** · 11-10-2015, 03:25 PM

Since I'm online in the 4x4 forum and was just talking to someone on the phone about Vets Day tomorrow, here's some old Army pictures of me in my 1/4 ton. Germany many years ago! Get a Good laugh at me in the Army.. stuck in the mud!

**Ironhorse** · 11-10-2015, 04:09 PM

Having spent time in the Army in Germany my-self I can appreciate your predicament, LOL. Where / when were these pics taken? I spent time in the 3rd Armored Div, 12th Cav near Frankfurt in '68 &'69 before Uncle gave me an all expenses paid SE Asian tour in '70. Spent a LOT of time on practice manuevers / war games at Hoenfels, Vielsek, Tiergarten, Grafenwhoer were some of the spots. Graf in tents in the winter is one cold SOB ! Spelling is off on the training areas but I'M sure you can get the idea. Is that a M-113 APC doing the honors pulling you out?

**jeffahart** · 11-10-2015, 05:20 PM

Ya m113 pulling I think the 1/4ton nomenclature is m151. It was probably hoensfeld( and I ain't even gonna look up the spelling I know the places your talking about) I think Graf was mostly ranges and hoensfeld was used for gaming and maneuvering. But I was stationed in Baumholder so we never trained there(Army logic!) Picture was 83 or 84. 8th ID. I was probably freezing in the water wearing T-shirt! I was way after you! I got lucky, I spent my enlistment playing in the mud and drinking beer. And it got even more fun for me;I was stationed at the NTC at fort Irwin and was detached to the foreign materials training center. I got to test and drive just about everything the Russians had at the time. I loved it. But I got lucky, unlike many before and after me.

Glad you made it back from SE Asia!

LOL awesome pic!!!!! I was a squid, was supposed to go to Germany, but they closed that base and then got sent to Japan. 20 years later, still not overly happy...Looks like you got to have fun, I got to sit in front of a dam computer for 12 hours a day...

Thanks for your service and all that, but what were you doing playing in the mud with my tax dollars when you were supposed to be defending me??

Before the days of wasting peoples tax dollars surfing the internet, you had to go outside and play!

**special-K** · 11-27-2015, 06:56 PM

Seems somehow more constructive to be playing in the mud. Carry on (I know, this is ancient history now)

**D.PASSMORE** · 12-07-2015, 10:21 PM

Wow! that looks early 80ish. I spent 2 years in Karlsruhe, Germany, 84-85, 18th ENG Brigade. Let dig around, have some pictures of my M151 A1 "Russ Baby" mountain climbing at Ft Hunter Ligget, CA. Those jeep could take a beating! Salute!
