At Ft. Carson , in winter, heated them with left over 106 RR propellant. Not so bad then....


I heated mine on the exhaust manifold on an M109, 155 SP Howitzer. Didn't help. Ha!
SMB out.

Maybe the exhaust manifold of a tank recovery vehicle might have been hot enough..... they were sure as heck LOUD enough!

It was plenty hot enough, but the heat didnt improve the taste. Tobasco would make most things palatable, but not the ham and eggs. Yup, and that 8V 71T Detroit Diesel also put out lots of noise.
Them was the good old days...NOT!! Lol!!

Yeah, but I had a good birth there and enjoyed myself. A month from my ets date I discovered an even better job, it was the dream job at Carson, and if my Wife had not already left for our LI NY home, I'd have done 30 extensions for u\p to 8 months ! 72 hours straight on, 4 days off, that would have suited me FINE.
