John Vargas - dont let the Army Universal Camoflage fool you; I am from Denmark and bought the ACU dust protection in the Kandahar PX. We have the M113 and love the old warhorse (with add-on armour) but unfortunately only considered the Abrahms and then went with the german Leopard. A great machine and it works wonders in Helmand Province, but I would have preferred the Abrahms.....but that is just me.
The M113 have saved some lives as we have had several mine strikes in the APC and would have lost even more lives, had we had less armoured vehichles.
PS
Is there an empty space in your airforce collection for some airforce stuff from Denmark - just say the word and I mail you some.

Helicopter pilot. But I spend most of my time sitting about!
Mechanical Designer. Oil & Gas pipeline inspection.
Update: I have given up the daily toil (for good) and am now a full-time watch collector, wine taster, motorcyclist and photographer - boy am I busy!
Hey Scout,
The Leopard is a good battle tank, the Abrams has the speed, and certain other abilities you are aware of you but can submerge a Leopard.
I am glad to hear that the 113 saved some of your guys lives, I agree there is nothing better than the M113, that thing is so versatile is unbelievable from Airborne tanks to APC’s…There coming out with an improved M113, and variants for coalition forces.
I would gladly accept and pay for any Danish Air Force items to add to my collection, I would be proud to display them! Thanks for offering.
Kandahar, is becoming a hotter spot, so stay safe, and keep your head low!
Hope to see you home soon!
Best and safest regards!

I am chief executive of a charity, the British Disabled Flying Association

Before that I ran a small logistics company, before that I was in marketing, and before that I was a pilot. Jack of all trades me :P
The needs of working with a disability have defined my career path until now, although I am chuffed to bits now playing with aeroplanes again and giving disabled people and those with terminal illness the chance to do something amazing and life changing. For the first time since I stopped commercial aviation 14 years ago I absolutely love my job. Fantastic!

I am a Police Communications Room Controller for Nottinghamshire Police and next year will be doing it for Calgary Police.
I get to tell police officers what to do and where to go and get paid for it :twisted: No two days are ever the same, can be stressful and exhilarating at the same time and good bunch of people I work with, mostly police officers, ex-police officers or ex-military comms (like me)
...The adult entertainment business is my game, very lucrative, but very "hard" work..

I think that I might have responded to this thread at one point, but I might as well update it. I am a lawyer by training, but I work for the Canadian government. I took two years to work for an international development bank in London where I helped countries in Eastern Europe set up their bankruptcy systems , but now I am home and responsible for Canada's agricultural quotas... it has been quite a change!
