Hummers/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer questions pertaining to military HMMWVs. I can also answer questions on other military trucks to include M35A2, M800 5tons,M900 5tons, M916 CUCV, HEMMT, M113A2, M113A3 and miscellanous ground support equipment. I cannot answer questions about civilian Hummers; they are very different from their military counterparts.

I have been a mechanic in the military for 16 years.
Organizations
US Army Ordinance Corps

63Y Track vehicle mechanic school, 63B wheel vehicle mechanic school, 62B construction equipment mechanic school, Warrant Officer Basic Course.
