Curious why the twice a day cold starts instead of running battery maintainers and block heaters? I get a daily test start for operational readiness check purposes, but cold starts seem needlessly hard on kit.
I always wondered if a military surplus truck might be a good buy, but this video has made me lean towards they could have been needlessly beaten the hell out of. I cringe when I hear a fridgid diesel needlessly floorboarded like that
Each one cranks different. If I don't do that when I start it then it won't stay running. It just stalls out. It's been like that since before I got here. So yeah, I guess you could say needlessly, but you're not the one that has start them in negative temperatures with no block heaters.
So I'm a 88M in AIT I picked NY as one of my 6 choices what are the odds of me getting this place as a duty station and how is it there ? Also do you guys come outside in summer pt and run in the snow ?
@@Peleliusion Yea that's the thing we have no idea what unit we can be sent to until our second week in black phase but I know I'm not going to airborne as that is not in my contract
And thank you for your service!
Love the frozen north
thought that motor pool looked familiar. i do not miss having a Fort Drum day, or being knighthawked by 2-10.
Lol I feel that....

Because that's too easy and the Army doesn't do easy or things that make sense😅 We simply are not issued that type of equipment.

Chances are high getting stationed here because nobody wants to go here. And yes we run in the snow with Summer PT's.
@@Peleliusion Wow I didn't know it was that bad we if I get I guess I'll just embrace the suck and hope I can warm up quickly
@@ArkArmy90 It all depends on your unit bro. They make it or break it. I'm in Aviation so it's not as bad as some other units here.
@@Peleliusion Yea that's the thing we have no idea what unit we can be sent to until our second week in black phase but I know I'm not going to airborne as that is not in my contract
@@ArkArmy90 You'll be fine regardless. You might luck out and get a good unit but if not just keep your head up and make the best of it.
Black snow 😅
