He says he is having a really nice time, knows a lot of the people at the camp.
That picture was taken on the 31st of December 2011. He was out shooting .50 and a dysekanon m79 (rpg) but the Internet is a bit flaky where he is so he said he would show me later.
He is due home start of February 2012.

One of the CB90's my brother is there to upgrade, this one has a RPG grill and it looks like it has a 30mm Bushmaster on it.
I have had the questionable privilege to go for a ride in one of these :shock:
They have a really good camera system inside so one can see all angles including what the Bushmaster is aimed at, it has some pretty sophisticated target tracking systems.
Seat 7 inside plus 3 crew with seats and harness and believe you me one needs the harness to keep one's kidneys :lol:
They go really fast so it is a bumpy ride in the back, up front it is apparently really nice and smooth (he told me)
:-P

I can confirm up front in the commanders seat is a comfortable ride

I had a sit in one of these. The controls were certainly made for the younger generation that have grown up using joy sticks and computer games. :shock:
