M60A1

The M60 was a development of the M48 but it had several differences. It has been replaced in US service by the M1 Abrams however it is still inuse in many other other countries e.g. as the heavily modified Magach in Israel. In 1995 a man in San Diego stole one from a National Guard armoury and went on a 23 minute police chase destroying 35 cars before he was shot by the cops.

@palonejr Good, descriptive, poetry. I trained on the M60A1E1, at Fort Knox, Kentucky. in '73. Loved to fire the HEAT and Sabot rounds. Boom!, muthafuckah! I was 'inducted' out of the 11 Echo ranks to serve in the 11 Deltas... reconnaissance scout specialist. RECON!! 8th US ARMY, 2nd Inf Div, Ist Cav Div, Ctrp, 4th Sqdn, 7th Cav Reg, Korea - '73-'76. OOHRAH! Scouts Out Front!! ; )

As I look at this old girl, I can hear our TC telling me to stop. Our gunner Freddie is locating the target. Our loader Maurice is ready to load her on command. I can hear the hum of the turbochargers in the pouring down rain. I can feel the warmth of the exhaust of the tank in front of me in convoy. I know every compartment and grease fitting on her. I can pull the pack in the dark in a snowstorm. Old memories of an old soldier.
