Hell, for 800 bucks, just driving the tank alone would almost make it worth it. And you get a Russian special force uniform, photos and a special tank driver's helmet when you finish. LOL!

I guess that they are hurting for money.

Still sounds like fun.

Driving a tank is WAAAAY over rated. Just a big Cadillac with Chrysler Power Brakes (60's vintage brakes). I prefer the "Combat Go-Kart", the M113A2.

And. I've already got 2 "tankers helmets", though I've got them give them back eventually.

 

[Admin]

Looks like fun. Notice there are no reviews? Hmm I wonder where the first class ended up?

 

[MrsWildweasel]

I think I might enjoy that. [twisted]

 

[Moderator]

Sounds like a 3rd option for Octoberfest

 

[C-pher]

Yea, anyone know how much flights are to Russia?

 

[MrsWildweasel]

around $802-$1238. [lol]

 

[C-pher]

So, for about $1600, you can shoot some old guns, drive a tank, and get a special forces outfit and a helmet? And drink some good vodka???

Now you're talking.

 

[MrsWildweasel]

Hopefully it's good vodka. Ask Glenn about the lighter fluid he bought in the East!

 

[C-pher]

Yea, I guess that you would have to be carefull. But at least you can get True Potato Vodka over there...or at least that's what I'm told.

If you went with a group of friends that could be a good time. What happens in the Ukraine stays in the Ukraine

 

[C-pher]

Hey, they said that if you get a group of 5 or more, each person get's 10% off.

 

[MrsWildweasel]

So this is next on our list of Get Togethers for everyone?

 

[Nickle]

I think I'll pass. I've driven the M1 several times. Y'all can go and have some fun, though.

 

[MrsWildweasel]

Nickle just cause you have cool toys to play with doesn't mean you can't come and join us.

 

[Nickle]

Hey, you bought the tanks, remember. I think the Ukraine and Russia would be acceptable for me to visit now. Used to be they weren't. I think you can figure out the why.

 

[C-pher]

Nickle just cause you have cool toys to play with doesn't mean you can't come and join us.

Yea...what she said.

 

[MrsWildweasel]

They might have a few pictures of me floating around too. Hmmmm might have to rethink that. At one point had to be careful on the airlines I flew too. Good point.

 

[Nickle]

Not pictures, clearance.

 

[MrsWildweasel]

Yeah, I had the clearance,but the East germans would sit outside our compound,taking pictures,doing head counts on our buses, and try to get into our sites. Plus I know the guards in the towers got a few of me. We were also the only ones that had to travel in a group of 10,have at least an E-7 with us,and no rank,name or unit crest. Like they couldn't figure out who we worked for. I also knew that's what you were talking about. I just eluded to a different way they might know me.

 

[MrsWildweasel]

Is there a statute of limitations as far as clearances and traveling to Soviet block countries?

 

[Nickle]

You mean former Soviet countries?

I'll check into it, and which clearances are involved. I'll PM you the results. If this situation applies to anyone else, let me know. I can also PM you the info.

 

[Wildweasel]

We should be fine, As Iiiiii doonn''ttt havvve theee needdd tooo knoooowww.... anymore. Once you have an inactive clearance I don't think it is an issue. (active-20 for me and the wife.) of course I had one of them Fancy ones... [twisted]

 

[MrsWildweasel]

Please release me let me go,for I don't have the need to know.....one of our tunes for working in that lovely windowless place.

 

[Nickle]

If the clearance is no longer active, you should be all set. I'm still active (not duty, just NG), and still have a clearance. I don't think the country issue exists anymore. A good friend of mine has been to Hungary since the end of the Warsaw Pact. And he had a clearance at the time.

 

[SiameseRat]

Did anybody find the link for a bridal registry? I want to play and wear a neat-o uniform and helmet, and I don't want to pay for it!

And I might add that I'm disappointed that I couldn't register at Four Seasons as well. What's up with these gun people thinking that guns and ammo aren't great presents for brides and grooms? I'd rather have a new pistol than silver or crystal... [twisted]

 

[C-pher]

damn, that's a good idea for a website...

That could make a good business.

"Shotgun Wedding": words and music by Northeast Shooters

My FIL has an FFL, I thought I knew his daughter well

We wanted lead we both agreed, I didn't know that she meant crystal

I was thinking auto-feed, something for a poly pistol

[chorus]

Before too long she knew her blunder, her dad gave me an over/under

Her friends are hip, they know the poop, they bought an M1 trigger group

She thought I got "License to Marry", she should have read the finest print

She would have seen that it said "Carry", my M1A is nearly mint

[chorus]

I knew that she would be my bride and I would walk her down the aisle

It was her momma's side by side, that told me I would stay a while...
