Thanks. I've had many experiences in these vehicles, thankfully none of them had to deal with roadside bombs. Soldiers can definitely find some awesome photo opportunities while performing their duties abroad. We just have to make the most of our situations good or bad. This was on a 3 day resupply and maintenance stop on our journey.

Yup, it's a MRAP made by Navistar(International). It's called a Maxxpro. It's got some driving blind spots, and rides kinda bumpy in the back, but it sure was fun to drive and it kept me and my crew safe. The MaxxForce D8.7I6 engine, 330 hp @ 2,100 rpm, and 950 ft-lbs @ 1,250 rpm Maximum Torque make this truck haul butt when needed. The 4 wheel drive was definitely used when I was training personnel how to drive this truck.
