God I miss riding in Pigs. Fast bastards. Thought they were gigantic until we pulled up next to an M1 Abrams....
Yea we were tiny midgets next to that big fucker.
Fun time was back in 07-08 when they were uparmoring LAVs out in Iraq. Thanks to a logistics fuckup, we got the upgraded engine before we got the upgraded armor for a few months. Had the fastest set of wheels in al-anbar...

Looks like a road march. 2nd LAR used to road march from Camp Lejeune to some of the nearby Army bases (Benning/Brag)every year or so in order to use their gunnery ranges. It's not too often people see military equipment like LAVs traveling the roads...and to a civilian they're tanks.

I was thinking the same thing, if that were cruising down the street in Minneapolis, we'd hear about how it felt to be occupied by tanks by all the lefties.
That's a pretty sweet rig, hows the ride in the back? better than a Bradley?

Cramped, and the turret doesn't have much safety cage around it. When it's traversing you need to be REALLY careful about where your gear and arms / legs are.
But, the suspension is pretty good so the ride is smooth for a 14.5 ton vehicle. Given it's weight, it gets up and moves and stops quickly.
It never ceased to amaze me how many idiots would cut you off on the roads when you were on a road march though.

I currently operate in these. LAV-25A2. For everyone curious it is a 25mm main gun with a coaxially mounted M240 and a M240B pintle mounted. I'm currently stationed in 29 palms with 3rd LAR.

Re: What the...?
My cousin is a Lifer in the 1st LAR, he is leaving very soon to go back to the box. Been in for at least 15 years at this point maybe more. I got to check one of these out at FOB Payne (not completely sure it was a FOB) last year when I took a couple days off work to go see him while I was in Afghanistan. Pretty neat little dudes but definately not the Abrams that I learned to love in the Army. Pretty crazy the first time I had seen him in 5 years was in a shitty third world country while he was deployed and I was contracting.

Hmm, La Mirada / Santa Fe Springs area. Maybe a Nat. Guard MP unit on their way to train with LA County sheriff's - in case the "Occupy Sesame Street" group gets out of control.

That is so friggen bad ass. The best that I have seen were 10 or so M1 Abrahms being pulled on the railroad tracks. Imagine you're just waiting at the RR crossing and out of no where a bunch of tanks go by. Got me PUMPED.

Im an armorer for 2D LAR A Co and have spent WAY too much time in the back of one of those! They are a super smooth ride in the desert, but if your poped up out the back you get a nice thick layer of dust.
