Raise shields. :roll: :lol:

Powered by tea of course!

Yorkshire Tea. :lol: :rock:

Lets look at the size difference:

Height:
Challenger 2 - 99 inches
M1A2 - 93 inches

Width:
Challenger 2 - 166 inches
M1A2 - 144 inches

Length:
Challenger 2 - 453 inches (with gun forward)
M1A2 - 387 inches (with gun forward)

Conclusion:
No room for tea pot in an M1A2! :D :p

Plenty of room for the crumpets too ;)

US Army Canteen in Iraq

Ok not all Americans enjoy this luxury but fact is the Brits in Iraq and Afganistan have less gear, less commodities, less pay, less leisure and less cake. They are very close to the WW2 grunts, and i respect them very much, as it must sometimes piss them off that they are so underfunded. Still they perform with the sterotypical British calm, humor and courage in ****ty conditions under fire.¨Salute.:up:

Give the Australians a couple of months to work on it, they'll get a beer fridge installed one way or another!:D

Crud! If they had a tank as big as the new Challenger, no problem!

Salute indeed. I doubt I could stomach a British MRE.

Once KBR got the chow hall up and running in Fallujah it was quite a nice establishment. And the some of the Brits got to share it with us.:D
For Thanksgiving and Christmas I heard they had, amongst other things, boar, lobster, caviar and ice sculptures! Friggin' ice sculptures!

I missed both, since the insurgents decided to attack the Al-Kharma police station to celebrate Thanksgiving, and on Christmas I was delivering hot meals to the grunts. Fortunately, every Sunday they served steak, shrimp, and lobster,(all you can eat:D ) so I didn't miss out entirely. They even had soda and ice cream.

As much as I abhor such a waste of taxpayer money, it is nice to have things like that in such a miserable place. Thanks America!:up:

It will be easy to spot which are the Australian tanks and which are the Americans. The Australians will have half a dozen eskys straped to the back!:up:

- giggle -

Giving fighting troops good chow is never a waste of taxpayer money. At least this is how this tax payer feels. :yep:

What is the MBT the Aussies use these days :hmm:

We took delivery of the first 18 M1A1 Abrams a little while ago. Phasing out our old AS1 Leopards. Not sure when the rest, 59 in total purchased, get delivered.

I've had British MREs and they are fine. I heard US ones aren't that great either. Then again is any boil in the bag food really any good?
