I went through the Cavalry School at Ft Knox. Tanker is one of the terms for the Armor types but I think DAT works better (Dum A$$ Tanker).

DBII,
clank, clank, I'm a tank!

'Tis an old Nirvana song. Not even one of their best, I was first starting to use the net and was stumped for a name. It was on at the time and it sounded cool, so I now use it on every forum

Clank, clank, Wildcat. What do you call dismounted Inf?......crunchies! That is the sound they make when you run over them. Speed bumps also work.
