M1A2 Abrams fires a 120mm Sabot (Patreon)

My first love was US Armor. When I went the recruiter in 1989, my first stop was at the Army office, ASVAB in hand. The Army recruiter could not 'guarantee' Armor training, that's not how the US Army works.

The US Navy, in 1989, could guarantee I would begin Submarine School as long as I passed the Psychology exam (they only take crazy people on subs).

And that's how I ended up on subs instead of in the Army.
