Pentagon Wars - Bradley Fighting Vehicle Evolution
From the movie "Pentagon Wars". Bradley Fighting Vehicle design and development. Any design engineer will love this scene.
No one loves the Bradley more than me. I am almost certain that I am the only one in the service to have a BFV tattoo since 1990. Did you know the Bradley was designed to be amphibious? Were you one of the early 11M's (Mechanized Infantry)? Please share your tales of mechanized anguish and triumphs.

Was a good flick. My Project Management course highlights portions of it to illustrate scope creep.

The Movie is great, the book is really good too, goes a lot more in depth on the acquisition corps. Good read.

I was on Mitchell J. Red Cloud range on Ft Benning, GA in 1991 when Morley Safer from 20/20 was doing an investigation into the capabilities of the M2A1 Bradley versus the M113 APC. I watched as they rehearsed the test and went over the script and I heard the S3 screaming at the driver of the APC to slow down during the turn around and also while going over the log wall obstacle so the Bradley could keep up and make it close. Of course the Bradley also went over a jump while throwing 25 Mike Mike downrange hitting the exact same spot even in mid-air going over the jump. It was blatantly obvious they were trying to make the Bradley look good for the story on 20/20. Morley Safer didn't but it and he produced a scathing report which set off all kinds of bells and whistles in the Pentagon. They feared once the story hit the airwaves the funding would be cut off for the program. It wasn't but it could've ended up in the scrap bin.

Lol. Agree MSG. It's the tiniest things that will sneak up on you from behind and suck
the last "Happy Cell" out of your brain.

Rock on Brother! SPC Brandon Wheeldon Have you ever met anyone who didn't love their Bradley? I've known guys who despised their asignment, but never their Bradey. Do you have any pictures of you and the beast?

I loved the Bradleys in the 3rd ACR! My guys there were cool. I was always in my medical 113 but Bradley guys were cool in the field.
