U.S. Army 1st Lt. Luke Conway keeps an eye out for anything suspicious during a mission in south Baqubah, Iraq, June 11, 2007. Conway is from Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division. DoD photo by Senior Airman Steve Czyz, U.S. Air Force.

Just sayin'...... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/im_envious.html#comment-61255 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/im_envious.html#comment-61255 Sun, 17 Jun 2007 23:40:16 -0600 Heh. The sight visible in the pic looked like a tank sight - but I've never been inside an M1 looking at it from that angle - and would never have guessed there was that much room in the TC's position. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/im_envious.html#comment-61253 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/im_envious.html#comment-61253 Sun, 17 Jun 2007 21:33:31 -0600 Can amplify to say M1A2 SEP...Visible is the CITV screen & the FBCB2 (Force XXI Battle Command, Brigade and Below ). http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/im_envious.html#comment-61244 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/im_envious.html#comment-61244 Sun, 17 Jun 2007 11:45:44 -0600 Looks odd, but sure looks like the ballistic doors for ammo storage on an M1 behind him, and he has his hand on the commander's override for the turret main gun. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/im_envious.html#comment-61243 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/im_envious.html#comment-61243 Sun, 17 Jun 2007 10:26:58 -0600 I'm wondering if it's a M117, but I don't really think so. It doesn't seem quite right for an MRAP, either. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/im_envious.html#comment-61238 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/im_envious.html#comment-61238 Sat, 16 Jun 2007 20:59:01 -0600 I'm just trying to figure out what kind of vehicle he's in. Definitely not a Brad or an M1. Maybe one of those new MRAP things? Buffalo perhaps? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/im_envious.html#comment-61233 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/im_envious.html#comment-61233 Sat, 16 Jun 2007 15:42:55 -0600
