RE: http://tech.military.com/equipment/view/88723/m9-armore...ver.html?eq_id=88723

i am combat soldier that trained on these vehicles that will say they are crap or they are alright. how did they become line (12 bravo) 21 bravo engineer, they should left them to the (12 foxtroits). I operated them from 1985 until 1993 at fort Ord California / 13th Engineers ( light )lot of data is all wrong. i have done them all it is up to the operator on how well he wants to that job. it is called guts and courage behind the wheel of this vehicle

speed is faster
breeching obstacles

I loved this vehicle. Altough if you didn't know how to handle it, it could be a very unforgiving vehicle. Meanig it would break down a lot. I took the same ACE thru 2 deployments with out a severe breakdown. I am actually suprised that this vehicle does not have a civilian counterpart. As it can take the place of several other vehicles. If you where a good operater you could really get this thing to "DANCE"
