Kustom_FX Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 So my Godson was cruising around Trashcanistan and someone left 80lbs of explosives in the street! Him and his crew are fine.. Thankfully the Marines buy American! Oshkosh Corps H-ATV saved their lives! They just have a headache and some ear ringing but should be cleared to return to duty by tomorrow( This was 2 days ago). Hes the 5 U.S.M.C. in the family and we're dam proud of him! He was more POd that they messed up his truck! But they are going to rebuild it, and Im going to send him some Adam's stickers for it! The door was opened by the BLAST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExpressThis13 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Well built machines. My brother came home from his deployment and he told me he was blown up a few times and he said he got a concussion one time and lost hearing for a few days.

rha600 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 So my Godson was cruising around Trashcanistan and someone left 80lbs of explosives in the street! You mean someone left 80 pounds of exposive in the middle of the dirt that people use to drive on. because that ain't no street. Nice to see how that truck protected them though.

DieselDude Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I am glad that him and his buddies are ok, that is the most important thing here. I do agree the Oshkosh trucks are the Toughest Trucks on the Planet. They are the toughest trucks in our current fleet of trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
