hi members
thanks happy veterans day to all of you that served our great nation and for all the veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice and to all the veterans serving all over the globe happy veterans day god bless all and god bless this great nation andy militarynut

Happy Veteran's day and thanks.

Thanks to all our veterans today and everyday we live in freedom
And prosperity
My son was in a martial arts tournament today with all the proceeds benefiting a local veterans support organization
Here is the website Its about the warrior foundation
Donations always accepted almost 80 percent goes directly to the vets and for a non profit anymore thats very good and highly transparent no more Sierra clubs or any of that nonsense
If you have a local vet organization I highly encourage all members who feel so compelled to contribute to theirs
Charitable deductions for 2017 I believe go a tad into 2018 but please consider helping those who would lay down their lives to help yours
Thanks again vets we remember your service

Many moons ago

hi dave
great pictures thank you for your service did you ever fix that windshield wiper many many moons ago to bad we couldnt turn back the clock god bless andy militarynut

The wiper was OK but the windshield was frosted over. The heaters on those shop trucks had no defroster so you had to scrape the ice off. Once the cab got nice and warm you were OK

Photo taken at "C" Battery, 1st Missile Battalion, 6th Artillery Regiment - Mainbullau, Germany. The truck markings:

7Th Army - 196th Ordnance Detachment and Direct Support vehicle 28.

(M109A3 2.5 ton multifuel shop truck. )

Dave,,
- on first pic,,,is that a removable rank armband?

Multifuel?? what it could run on gasoline or diesel?

Gaspare,

Yes - Temporary/removable. That was Fort Dix and basic training.

Mulifuel - yes diesel or gasoline. Worked real good on diesel and we were told never to try to run it on gas.

Multifuel Vehicle,,hhmmm,,never heard of that. Sounds very interesting, you got me going now..
Diesel,, internal combustion 4 stroke,,,are 2 completely different operating principles! Gotta look in to that!

Fort Dix huh.. Didn't know they let you southern boys up here! . I went to a couple graduations there in the 70s,,,couldn't believe how hot it would get there. Just seemed hotter than the usual NJ / NY summers..

Gaz,

Look up the multifuel engine.I never heard of running on anything but diesel. Great truck. 5 speed gearshift. high and low ranges. No power steering so you got good arm muscles. Air brakes so it would stop in an instant.

I was at Dix January & February of 1964. first 10 days were very mild after that it was coldcold and snowed a LOT.

hi dave
getting back to you scraping ice of of the windshield not any more they now have a spray rainex and you wipe it on the glass and then you dont need any wipers i do this to my antique 1950 ford the wipers on that car is slower then a snail vacum run boy we have come a long way god bless andy militarynut

Does the Rainex work on hard frozen ice on glass?

Here is what looked like later

hi dave
i think rainex would possibly work and soften up the ice i would have to try it and then report its only my guess have a great day andy militarynut
