Tanks procreating? Bad airdrop? Can't drive standard?

Hmmm,

Do they have tan painted M1A1's in Germany?

I've never been there, so I can't say. I've had 2 friends look at this picture. One says it's Ft Hood, the other says it's Germany.

Well Wotan....

It seems we may never know.

Most of the sand colored tanks in Europe had the ^ symbol painted on them from the gulf war coalition. I departed there right after getting back from Saudi in 1991. So, depending on when this PIC was taken, they may have taken off the ^ symbol, or this PIC was taken at FT. Hood TX. smile.gif

Better to make the wrong decision than be the sorry son of a bitch to scared to make one at all

I was stationed in Germany from 1990-92, and al of the M1A1's in the armor battalions were painted tan, then shipped to the desert. They remained tan right up until I left, and then who knows how much longer after that.

As to what unit/location these belong to, we wil nexer know, as the unit markings on the bumpers have been airbrused out of the photos.
