This bit of video is raw footage taken in late October 2007 from the Tank Commander position as we relieved a Section of M1A1 Abrams Tanks from an over watch position near Camp Ramadi. If you have never been on a tank this will give you a good idea of the sights and sounds experienced by a M1A1 Abrams Tank Crew from the Tank Commander position - Enjoy!

  • it sounds very loud outside how is it inside the tank?

  • @Magnumkevlar: Loud as well!

  • Will i be violating OPSEC if i asked you to marry me? =)

    I love the M1A1 and anyone who is a crewman of one!

  • @djhuttle: I would have to check with my wife! ;)

  • @Clockwise70 is it possible to getting any footage of the inside when you guys are popping off sabots or something? I just love how the loader and the gunner work togeather and how the thing slides up after you slide a round into it...It gives me a boner...I mean...um.. it makes me "Excited" =P

  • @djhuttle: Perhaps in the future I will have an opportunity to share such a video with you. That "thing" that slides up is the Breech Block. ;)

  • @reptile202 something about the tank having flexiable amor

  • @xDvsking666x Lol. What did I say? I forgot.

  • @reptile202 No way? where the fuck can I get one of these cause the t-90 isn't cutting it xD

  • @longsnapper43 Best comment on youtube.

  • @ZombieAnusPounder "doesn't" take the hummers.." is what i ment

  • @ManMeatMusket I still cant figure out why the group does at least take the Hummers. The tanks arent practical and i get it but the up armor hummers would be my ride of choice, especially if the had a 50cal. on top.

  • @ZombieAnusPounder I just watched that show on netflix lol. and i was thinking, no matter how big a crowd of zombies got, they would have never died in that tank. people are not an obstacle in a tank lol no way

  • I bet tankers arent worried about a zombie outbreak huh?? Im watching The Walking Dead btw LOL

  • @longsnapper43 russian forces with american tanks yeah il buy that but america has not got the greates army nore the greatest weapons other than TANKS.
