So we picked up our new MRAP's today, and although they are much heavier than the older ones, they have a lot of nice improvements.
- More comfortable seats
- More advanced counter IED equipment
- Nice drivers thermal display
- Better internal communications
- More armor
It is going to take a bit of getting used to to drive these new ones as they are about a foot wider than the other ones and almost 20K heavier with the added armor. But the protection is worth the weight increase. The nice thing about these vehicles is that all crew members and the dismounts in the back all have headsets so we can talk to each other without yelling, and everyone can talk on the radios. Makes it nice for situational awareness and to break the boredom of long missions.
I also got a new blanket so I don't have to sleep in my sleeping bag anymore. Makes it nice and makes me feel like I am home (sort of).
