Yep - Once upon a time. M114, M102, M198. Never saw any combat but did certify our Unit in nuclear weapons deployment out of a M198 (never fired one of course )

Can you imagine... firing a nuclear projectile out of a howitzer

very cool. I was an enlisted soldier for many years, held an MI MOS on active duty and switched to a forward observer in the Guards. Graduated from OCS in the early 2000's and branched FA. Started out on M198's and recently upgraded to M777A2's which we deployed to OIF with. Awesome weapons.

Nuke's, yeah, crazy isn't it. I like that cannon they have on display out at Ft Sill, Atomic Annie I think its called. Now that's a crazy howitzer!

I once passed through an AF dining hall to eat - F$ckers had waitresses getting things for people! After I ate I had to go outside and sleep in the grass next to the runway


Anyway... the real reason for my post:

HD radio retrofit is complete. Watch for the DIY to be posted soon!

Winter better be over soon. I'm running out of fun car projects to keep me occupied
