    Wow! Thanks for the outpouring of good thoughts, they will help maintain while I'm there. You guys and gals are the best.

    The Stryker Fighting Vehicle, is an 8 wheeled beastie that sports the latest in 25mm auto-cannon technology, a few anti-armor TOW2-B missiles, and a near full squad inside. They can travel cross country at insane speeds, yet remain highway legal It is easily converted to handle an auto-loading 105mm cannon too, to increase it's tank killing abilities.

    The Stryker was named after TWO men named Stryker(and no, neither were John Wayne on Iwo Jima), both of whom received the Medal of Honor, one in WWII, the other in Vietnam.....both were awarded posthumously. hooah

    The main Stryker brigade is already there, having off-loaded last November in Kuwait. The info we have been able to drag kicking and screaming from "those in the know", is that we will meet up with the battalions in Iraq, and conduct support operations with the combat trains.

      Uhm if it wasn't highway legal, who would have the cajones to pull it over?

        Damn, I didn't think the Stryker was operational, hope you enjoy your new toy . All our new toys are DC gear, and that ain't the sort of thing you want to play with.

              Good luck, Godspeed, give'em hell and return safely. "The Army Goes Rolling Along" or "The Cassion Song" is the anthem of the Army. Also when you come back, you should tell us how those Stryker vehicles performed on the battlefield, think everyone would be interested.
