    This is one of the proudest moments I can remember in my career many years ago. There is no greater feeling than to be a part of something greater than yourself. Go Army! God I love these young people

    Tankers and aircraft gunners must be of jockey stature. Ever been in a tank or assault aircraft? The belly and the tail required exceptionally brave soldiers.

    @@paulross499 woah there old-timer! We haven't seen crew-operated turrets on aircraft since the B52s got radar-controlled tail guns in the '60s and the Army hasn't flown any turreted planes since the days of the AAF - before 1947 that is. But yes, I've been in B-25s, 17s, 24s, and 29s. Still haven't been in a tank, but I can absolutely imagine some of these compact troops making a tank interior seem roomy.

    WP needs a curriculum. The economics crap degree dished out will have more generals losing 25 years from now. For a better army, gain officers from MAC conference. Or teach engineering, tactics, strategy. Cadet appointments frequently go to the congress person’s campaign fund bundles. I witnessed this in Central Illinois.
