Tanks in Town Mons Belgium 08/30+31/2008

Great photos, as usual, V. And, as usual, I'm quite jealous that you get so many great shows over there and I don't get to see much of that sort of things. That was a great collection. Very impressive.

 

As far as riding on tanks is concerned; there's no such thing in today's safety conscience military. Only the most dire of military necessities would make that happen without someone getting in serious hot water. I did get to ride in an M1 Abrams. It was very cool. That was from when I was the 2d Tank Battalion Commo. It was a good time. Now I'm a staff pogue. Oh well!
