Dennis, wonder if you could look him up, forget his name off the top of my head, but he was w/ 8th Engineers Support Battalion out of Camp Lejeune, circa '91 (90-92)  |
I'll see if anyone knows how to get that history, but I remember the story and think I remember the guy. 8th Engineers served as the paint booth to get vehicles painted tan at the Port of Jubail. They painted my euro market XJ and Land Cruiser. The also graffed a humvee ring mount onto the FJ80.
