My Vehicle M1075
Last year I wrote about being in charge of the FRS (Forward Repair System) for our unit. You might remember I am in charge of it because I am the only person in the motor pool, male or female, who does not work on his own car, truck, or motorcycle. This month we got a brand new M1075 PLS (Palletized Load System) 10 by 10, 500hp, five-axle, all-terrain semi-trailer to carry th FRS.
So now I will have to recall enough motor maintenance from my tank commander past to be in charge of the truck that hauls the FRS around.
Happy Father's Day
