I was in the field years ago. It was cold as hell and one of these tanks showed up. The TC got out and told us that we could all gather behind his tank and he’d keep the engine running so we could get warm. Very cool of him. This was at Fort Lewis Washington sometime around 00-01. Thanks a lot my brother. I never forgot it.

I was a driver on the "original" M1 in West Germany in 1980-82. The firing system has certainly changed since then lol. Would've loved to have that tech back then!

I remember being in Germany last year and I was driving the CO around and mind you I’m infantry- he asked the tankers if I could hop in and fire a sabot and they said hell yeah!! I’m still close with that captain to this day, he is a huge help in my career

One of the very few times the video description was accurate. Best tank video I've ever seen. I was not privileged to serve and at 6'4", I'd never have made a tanker but this certainly makes it look like fun. (I'm sure not nearly as fun in actual battle.) Thank you for taking time from your lives to serve guys. I appreciate it.

I love this video, first time a see an actual look at a tank leader operating the optics and how the screen looks. greetings from belgium :)
-
Remember. The .50 cal and .50BMG is older than any tank. John Browning really hit it out of the park with the M2 and .50 BMG.

As an old tanker, I love it. Brings back old memories.
-
As a 55B from Mechanized Cav back in the day.. This was badass!!!! Thank you for letting me remember.

I got out 2 years ago and being a tanker was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The job sucked a lot, but doing Gunnery made the entire job worth it. Thanks for sharing, got me to relive some of my best memories.

God this brings back memories, I was a tanker from 1986-2015. I served on the M60A1, M1IP, M1A1HA and M1A1 HC, and finally the M1A2 SEP, after that I was done with my PSG time and was a staff puke then a First Sergeant (for 6 companies) Best job I ever had.

My dad told me a story about keeping warm from the tank engines in the field. The infantry would get behind the tank and would spin around like a rotisserie chicken so they didn’t get burned. He also told me that the best place to sleep was on the engine on a cold night.

This is the best video ever. Closest thing to being there. Amazing, thank you. And thank you for your service!!!
-
Im not a tank expert but sometimes i just feel like being inside a tank is the coolest man cave ever
-
wow, firing the main gun is way more hectic than I thought it would be. There is A LOT going on. I can see how a tight team can be so important. Hats off to all the tankers out there
-
Brings back memories hearing that replenisher going off all the time. I was on M60-A3 in 11th Cav Germany..OORAH !! And Blackhorse Sir.!!

That “fuck it” at 6:00 was the most relatable military phrase I’ve heard 😂

This Navy vet has a ton of respect for anybody who would go to war inside a machine that's as much of a target for missiles as a tank is on the modern battlefield. Similar to being on a surface ship, in a tank there's nowhere to hide. Many of the worst service-connected injuries I see at my local VA hospital are from combat vets who served in armored units.

Every Abrams vid : EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Seriously badass though! When he stood up out the turret and the main gun fires while on the move! This is almost porn lol.
-
Wow, as an Indian, I am simply amazed by the rank design. Props to the American engineers, they have truly performed themselves out of this world!

I was in a light infantry unit, and we were training down in Ft Polk. We had just came out of the woods after a fight with opfor onto a road after dark and an M1A2 came out at another location just down from us onto the road. Hearing that thing rumble and shake the road was awesome.
