"19 year old with a strong arm" still gets me 🤣

What the doctor sees: a tiny needle
What I see:

About a 9 second reload. Come on Army. We were fucking loading in 5 seconds in the Gulf....

When I was in Iraq as a medic, I had to actually ride around with a tank crew for about a week, on the one hand, it was kind of cool, but on the other, it’s such a tight space it felt like I would’ve gone crazy eventually.

Beats the hell out of walking with a back pact

[anthonybrock]

My man looks like he regrets ALL the choices that brought him to this point! 🤣

[strickersniper]

There is a reason I did not choose tank crew member.

[twwtjohns]

I was Mech Infantry but I could not be a Tanker. Those are special people.

From 11B to 19K - all I can say is that riding in that Cadillac sure beats 8#’s of mud on each dog with a full ruck.

Miss my tank.

Bro is sitting there like "fuck whyd I pick this Mos...I need nicotine.. my fuckin knees and back are killing me"

I think an 19 year old boy with an strong arm is better than an auto reload

[MattGatts]

Loading that sabot round! He's a slow loader though.. he also forgot to yell up! Best job I've ever had til this day! My crew shot a 924 out of 1000 at gunnery back in 07. Distinguished baby! Still have my AAM for it too

I am a TANKER. I was in the 2/11 ACR in Bad Kissingen, Germany from 1973-1975. At that time we were on the M551 Sheridan. Wish we had the Abrams back then. Thanks for the video. GO ARMY!

[Just.Seraph]

The depression and exhaustion in his eyes, he may have the participation badge on his shoulder but he's a true 19K at heart

[dominikvladyka]

Russian tanks dont have to reload manually. The legend says their tank turrets can stay in air longer than their airforce

[tncavscout]

Miss my days as a US Army Tanker! Best job I ever had!
