My kids have camo PJs, so the dad jokes are always flowing.

Lol well played, sir.
Nah. Camouflage jokes are free.
Welcome to the internet, fren.
Why is my order way out in Washington? I'm here on the east coast. :)
I’d call, they might have sent you someone’s F15s by mistake, I here it happens a lot.
Oh well. I can only drive one at a time anyway. And you know what would happen if a bunch of rednecks got hold of a bunch of tanks on Friday night. :)
Just haulin em down to the Texaco for a lube, ol & filter.
Nothin to see here.
Were they headed south towards JBLM? Or headed north to free our Canadian frens?
I couldn’t tell, it was just parked in the rail yard
Pls pls pls pls be heading into BC
Times Up Commies!
Tanks for the memories, OP
Those beasts will look good coming down Main Street
Wonder whose town they’re headed to?
That is a lot of tanks! What the hell are they doing up in Everett? There is a Navy base up there, but none of the ships can handle that many tanks. No Ro-Ro's load up there, at least none that i know about. Have to wonder where all those brand new tanks are going. Army base? My sister used to be stationed there in the Army, just didn't think it was as far North as Everett.
Yeah, it was a weird place for them to be I thought. Not sure if NAS loads them in planes? I’m not sure how to tell a new tank from an old one, some had names or phrases on the barrels? Others numbers on the side, Is that common for new?
They are constantly being rebuilt at the Lima, Ohio tank plant, the only one in the US. As far as I know, no new hulls are being built at present but as long as a hull is reasonably straight and not too damaged, it can be refurbished and a “new” tank built on the hull.
As for where these are going, it’s anybody’s guess. It’s reserve training season, so there’s that. It is a really large number of tanks though.
I'm not even sure who is making the Abrams these days. Heavy armor was not an area of interest for me. They looked pretty new to me. All the older ones are all desert tan, at least for the last 20 years. The treads on the tracks looked new, but theoretically they could have been retracked. They can only load one M-1 into a C-17, so flying them would be pretty silly. They would have to get loaded onto a Roll-on-Roll-off ship (Ro-Ro). But i dont remember them having them up there. Its been nearly 20 years since I was at the Everett base, so it could be. I'm pretty curious though. Thats a lot of firepower
Going or coming? What's the direction?
Wish I could tell ya, just parked… couldn’t even see the engines it was that long.
I am. Haha
