"Nearly four years after the Army settled on Oshkosh to produce a next-generation replacement for the troubled Humvee, a few lucky soldiers from the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division are finally going to get their paws on the much-hyped Joint Light Tactical Vehicle.

On Monday, the Raider Brigaide's official Twitter account posted photos of flatbed trucks hauling the new JLTV rolling up at Fort Stewart in Georgia."

Fort Stewart, BTW is a great place. Down the road from the ATL, makes for a nice drive on a Friday evening, with "Get the Led Out" rock show on the radio! And, you ain't gotta report back until Monday 08:00.

Reminds me of the phrase "give a 19 year old a tank and he'll wreck it on the one tree in the middle of the field"
