Smallercrawler, wasn't trying to knock ya. Just trying to set the record straight. I know I first saw that in Readers Digest's "Humor In Uniform" in the 60's pretty much they way it was presented to me in 74 at Ft Knox. So I'm sure that they used that line in the classroom for many years. As a former instructor, Armor Tactics, Armor Officer Basic, I know that some of the things we put out to our students was old school to impress on the students the importance of certain things. I know most of us as trainees were pretty impressed with just how important it was to have a working fire control system after that little speech. In each phase the instructors tried to make their portion of our training seem to be the most important part of being a tanker. The real story is that all that stuff has to work together to make the tank an effective weapon. Another Knox story. While an instructor we were all SSG or above in rank. We had to mow the lawn around our building. Each of us instructors were sent to 4 days of training to learn to run a weed whacker, push mower and a TORO rider. Grand total value was about 3,700 at the time. Just a couple of years earlier I was given NET (new equipment training) training for 2 whole weeks and at the end of it they gave me a brand new 5 million dollar M1 tank. Gotta love the Army.
