@AlexisCarlton trust me, the dedication will pay off, and you'll best assessments! Hope the best for you and welcome to the Transportation Corps!!!

@@dw7094 valid point. Something i could mention in another vid

@dw7094 it's intended purpose was a traction control assistant by automatically deflating or inflating the tires to help gain surface traction in different types of terrain like gravel, sand, mud and snow. The operators won't have to get out and expose themselves to enemies while they take 3-4 minutes per tire to air down. Its secondary purpose was during combat when the tire is riddled with bullet holes, it will pump air in while you're on the move, so you can get to a safe location to change the tire

@dw7094 Honestly, it's just one of those dumb Army things in this case. Never seen anyone hit their head without that extra 3 inches on top of them. When the students conduct the task, they are supposed to wear the helmet for when they climb on the vehicle for 30 seconds, or get under it. So if the students have to do it, the instructor has to wear the same to ensure the entire standard is understood. I personally try to wear that thing as little as position 😅😂

@badkarma2369 always glad to be of assistance

@KSI_Revelations it's a mode selection used for combat situations like bullet holes that a beadlock wouldn't assist with

@Whogives2shets Gotcha ! Also, I work in the tire shop 😀 We build all the Millitary tires for all vehicles, We take the old tire/wheel and put new ones on. To put it simply

@Therealrickybobby. you sure can. It's a program under ACASP (Army Civilian Aquired Skills Program). Talk to your recruiter first so it can be put in your orders, however, it will reduce your training by a week. On a side note, I don't recommend it for 2 reasons. #1 stay a few extra weeks and make a few extra dollars. #2 Army vehicles and their operations are significantly different than anything you have likely encountered on the Civilian side. Stay the extra week and a half and learn some new stuff😁

@copy, yeah I signed a ACASP that’s how I’m able to go in as a E4. so it will reduce it from 6 weeks to 5 weeks?

@Therealrickybobby. it should, yes. I would always advise to double check your orders and make sure they are aware of your status. It is the Army, trust but verify 🙂

@@Whogives2shets thanks for being so prompt with your response. It really means a lot.

@Therealrickybobby. I keep my notifications on for just these times😁. Good luck and welcome to the Transportation Corps!

@Therealrickybobby. no, sir. The Army got rid of all manual trucks in the early 2000s. One less thing for a soldier to be trained on and worry about in combat. I do miss them, though. So much more reliable when there was less to malfunction

@@robertjohnston6387, I definitely disagree with the doctrine we teach from at the AIT. It comes from a time well before automatic slack adjusters so that you could test the brakes while connecting. If it rolled away, that was just the extreme way to know the trailer was no good. However, the schoolhouse won't change it😒

@michaelankrumii8925 glad it was helpful! I PCS in a few months and will finally be back in a position where in around trucks and start making videos again😁. I will see what I can do about getting to an actual 915

@@michaelankrumii8925, I hope to one day return to a position where I can do these videos again. As soon as I do, I absolutely will😁. I PCS soon

@marvino9115 I wish I had added that step into the video. You are correct. Many times, that has worked and I totally forgot to mention it

@@TraciJoslin by the regulation, no. However, check your local SOP because most BN and CO like to know who inspected the vehicle in case issues arise.

@@MrRed424 🤣 There's always that Monday we just don't feel it and that another good card to pull

@@MichaelDavis-uu9zh glad it was a useful tool

@King_TuTT if I was under the truck or climbing on it, I wore the protective equipment like we try to tell the JR Soldiers to do as a good example. I honestly don't always wear a helmet when I'm under the truck but never get under them without eye protection. You only get to be unlucky with your eyes twice till it's over if you know what I mean😉

@benjaminbowman1276 , unfortunately, yes. The standards at the school house vs. actual practices don't match very well. However, the intent is for them to consider all factors of alignment so the don't back the 5th wheel into the trailer too high, too low, or too far off center so that it just hits the slide portion on the back of the 5th wheel. This is just the way the school house makes sure the student understands that concept instead of assuming the student is considering those factors and they are actually just going through the motions. They are informed that in a real-life scenario, they will have to do these in various ways and make corrections situational dependant. 🙂

@rubentrumpet3626 good luck and welcome to the Transportation Corps!

@@fairylaw7847 😂Sure did. I definitely wasn't top of my class as we can tell

@@Whogives2shets Haha i’m from jacksonville had to look up a video and watch yours for a PMCS, 6 of the trucks had their batteries left on…easy PMCS😎from 377th QM CO

@fairylaw7847 glad it was an easy and cheap fix. Hope they drained the airtanks, too

@@Ezra-k4o 🤣

Back context, this was an accident AS I was going step by step in this process. Thank you so much. So I butt dialed an emoji of gratitude to you.

Pretty good trucks when you take care of them

It was in high. Just very heavy and old😁

The supervisor or person who confirms the fault signs on the signature block UNLESS the commander is overriding a deadline with a "circle x" to use the vehicle for a one-time mission.

Always glad to help! I hope you're doing well where you are these days!

Thank you for your support!

There sure is! All the vehicle pubs you evwr need can be found on: www.ldac.army.mil/ You have to find so eone in maintenance, supply or S4 that can give you system access. Then go to the tab requesting it and put their name in. You will only be able to pull minimal TMs till you have access

@Whogives2shets thank you🙏🏾

It is an amazing job. Check into and go see a recruiter if you're interested in joining the Transportation Corps

Unfortunately, none of the military standard tires are Kevlar. They are very puncture resistant, with most of them being 16 ply walls. The inflation system works to help keep cost-effective equivalent to "bulletproof" by having a mode that consistently pumps air in if there's a large or small leak so you can get to safety.

@@Whogives2shets thanks for explaining that to me and thank you for the good job that you do

@davidstark6507 always glad to assist 🙂

Always glad to help!

I still use it every time I do drivers training even though I hate hearing my own voice😅😂. One additional thing that helps is teaching new troops what the vehicle parts are. You would be surprised how many people don't know a single part underneath that hood/cab and how it works to know when it's not working how it should

I always welcome new ideas for when I can start making some again

There is not, Sry. The National Guard has one in Fort Johnson (Formerly Fort Polk)

@@Whogives2shets I see, thank you, SSG. Would you also happen to know the locations of 88M MOSQ reclass for the reserve side? I understand you’re active duty, possibly. Just thought I’d take a chance at asking, SSG.

@Jtheman2022 Reserves can go to the NG locations. You can find them in ATTRS but the ones I know off hand are Ft Knox, Ft Leonard Wood, Ft McCoy, and Ft Johnson

@@Whogives2shets Thank you, SSG. I really appreciate your time. And one last question. How long is the MOSQ reclass, off the top of your head, SSG?

@Jtheman2022 I am always glad to help where I can. If you have a CDL before going to AIT, you can qualify for ACASP, which would make it 4 weeks. If you don't, it's 7 weeks of training

All US military tactical vehicles are automatic now. One less thing for an operator to focus on but it sucks for maintaining
