    Currahee,
     
    Welcome aboard!
     
    Now that you're here and have shown us just a few of your pics, I believe I'm insanely jealous. Why? Your convoy experience makes all of my childhood military convoys vanish into nothingness. To think we got all worked up over 6 x 6s towing M101 howitzers, the same type as we used in WW II. We kids would hoot and holler and wave our little arms off as we cruised past all those guys in the trucks, whose canvas covers were up, but the rear tied open. They'd smile and wave back at us as six kids and their parents cruised past sometimes dozens of trucks. This was before Nam tore the country apart.
     
    What you got to see and image is astounding, and you would be the belle of the ball in many model clubs as a result. Strykers don't exactly grow on trees, and the only ones I've ever seen live were bow on in a motor pool well away from the post road I was on. Of that bunch, most were tarped. Somebody should've videoed you while you were going hog wild with your AFV photo fest. Could've gone viral! And thanks to your OP, I've now learned some new to me military lingo, DVH. Please share more of your AFV grog exciting pics with us.
     
    Regards,
