I got to learn and operate the comms in the M-ATV today. It's some pretty cool stuff. We also learned a little bit more about the DVE (Driver Vision Enhanced) system and saw some videos of it in action. It's looks like it's going to be fun. I'll try to video it, so you can see it in action.
It's been a long day of training and trying to get new projects up and running so I just have a quick story for tonight.
One of the projects we have is the building of a Rotary Wing landing and maintenance area. It's a pretty big project, lots of concrete. A Turkish firm won the bid on this project and set up camp. When I say set up camp I mean they pretty much have to live and work on their site until complete. They put up perimiter fencing, build DFACs, have bunk houses, security guards, office trailers, dig wells for the batch plants and put up the batch plant. Once everything is established and it's time to get to work there is only one thing left to do. Gather up all your concrete equipment and sacrifice a sheep. Now, that is taking construction to a whole new level!!
