I LOVE Engineers! They get to vent frustrations using explosives. When I lived in the dirt as old school OPFOR we lived and died by the skill of our Engineers. Those guys could make a D-7 dance and knock out a 2-tier armored vehicle firing position in very little time with no spoils (dirt trails) and I even had one do it with DVG's.....during high winds......sands blowing......uphill both ways (lol). They could hide a 27 ton vehicle in plain site. OPFOR got the credit, but it was the Engineers who won the battle in the defense.

As a former Seabee, dozer without a doubt! There is a lot of good equipment out there, but what one can do with a dozer was the most fun for me.

Having served with an Engineer BN in the CA NG, I can say I saw a lot of different equipment, but the stuff the EOD guys had was the most interesting!

The Buffalo. Not the prettiest girl at the dance, but she'd just as soon take some HME to the face before letting us flip. Not to mention the RPG cages, working A/C...I have a thing for Buffalos.

Shape/Cratering charges are the best if they count as equipment if not than an excavator.

Sir, while I loved my M113.........I TRULY LOVED MY M548. All balls and very little weight. Plus I only had to share the space with my TC.
