Here is a pic from the internet of the MRAP (I am not allowed to take pics of our vehicles). It is a MINE RESISTANT AMBUSH PROTECTED vehicle. When we get into Iraq these are the vehicles that we will be driving. We have spent the last 2 days doing hands on training on this vehicle and drivers training. It is nothing like driving a humvee (HMMWV).....it is more like driving a dump truck. It will be my job as the operator to do all the "PMCS" (preventative maintenance checks and service) so I have been learning a lot. I am tired from driving all day so I will write more soon.....Hope everyone is well!!
holy crap... That thing is very serious looking... I could not imagine driving something like that... GO MICKEY!!! Hopefully you are well... I think about you all the time... xoxo Jo
ReplyDeleteWe love you mick. You're so strong! Keep truckin' girl. We will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteHi Mick, It is amazing how all the training we get in CONUS never seems enough does it when you are really there. I remember the first time I tried to PMCS a 5ton, now that was a joke climbing on that. At least the MRAP is smaller, but so are you.

I think of you all the time.
Prays are with you
