Danasan - Leopard driver?

I remember seeing the guys at Ft. Knox jumping M1s on the live fire range while in Basc Training, as part of the vehicle familiarization training, just marvelling at the fact that they were getting 60-some-odd tons of armoured vehicle airborne... then we got to do it in Bradleys.

No one really can understand just how much really inflexible bits of armoured vehicle there are to slam bits of you into until they've been there and done it. It's really remarkable, the places you find bruises afterwards.
