MX Skills meet the Real Off Road World!

We all know that the military uses Humvee’s and Tanks as part of their arsenal of vehicles. What I never knew was how many different types of vehicles were included that we never hear about.

I recently had the opportunity to observe some of our Special Forces attending a school on proper use and driver training for the side by side vehicle we know as the Kawasaki Teryx. I was allowed to take a few pictures as long as I didn’t show any faces or identifying features, or they said they would come back to hunt me down and kill me!

It was a pleasure to watch some of our troops participate in training. They were truly eager to learn and practice what they were exposed to by the instructors.

I learned from watching and really enjoyed listening to some of the stories that were shared concerning field experiences in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq. I was both amused and appalled at some of the things I learned about what takes place in those countries that we never hear about. I am so thankful that these guys are willing to return and do the things they do in places that I have absolutely no desire to visit in this lifetime! They will never receive enough credit for the situations they participate in on a regular basis.

I know from now on whenever I have the chance I will give them a quick wave, salute or a simple thumbs up to let them know how much I appreciate them and the U.S.A.

Thanks guys and God Bless you,
