Thanks for the responses and messages. My 'Manchild' Tyler is turning into a real Gearhead. And he has really developed a soft spot for anything 'Military'. The unfortunate part is my expertise is more 'weapons' oriented, (Small Arms).

My experience with MV's in the military was strictly 'Drive them till they broke' and when they did you hoped you weren't the junior man in the squad who had to stand by with it till the Service Battalion boys showed up.

So to make a long story short, in the evening, instead of watching movies or XBOX, we read Vehicle Manuals. When we are together staring at a Deuce and now the Carrier, he will ask me a technical question and my standard answer is-

' I'm not sure, you have as much experience with these things as I do. What do you think? ' That gets a grin, and he digs right in.
