Fallout Re: MBT's

Well, they finally got there on Jan. 18th ...
"Breaking News: Poland Receives First 28 US M1A2 SEP V3 Tanks Bolstering Europe's Tank Superpower Status."

There are somethings that'll need to get done but this and other sites I use will let us know when they get fielded (FOC). I think we have them set for FOC this Summer/Fall I believe.

This article is full of good info to include the current status of all types of MBTs currently in service. I hope you'll take the time to read it and maybe clear up and "mystery" on their tank situation both currently and in the foreseeable future.

The following was intended for another thread until I watched it all the way through. As some might remember my "Marine Buddy" of which I'm PROUD to say has me listed as one of a couple of her friends on her page and Suhiir on mine, hashed out and settled the USMC M1A1 FEP issue as professionals do and made the appropriate changes.

However, as these things go, sometimes some might still have doubts and if this video doesn't convince you well just maybe you might need some "blue light" glasses.

Based on the fact the ACV is in the video, that pushes the timeline out to the end of the CORPS time with tanks.

I will "point" you to the turret and the ones who tracked the issue overtime will notice something is not there as was thought.

Also provides a good understanding of what's involved with an Amphibious Operation.

I've kept all my PM's from Suhiir (And John "IMP" also.) as they both were there when I first started out here and encouraged, pushed and made suggestions how to produce a "better product" and also importantly how to build a "partnership" with Don.

I still look at those messages from time to time when things are tough for the reasons noted above and more.

They say "You can never go back. " but nothing says that...

"You can't look back to get clarity in the present and perspective in dealing with the future."

You should always remember those that impacted your life for the good and bad as long as you learned from the experience to change what you need to or stay the course.
