    Watching it now, repeats at 1900 EDT tonight, shows troops deploying
from Ft.Hood to NTC and explains about the LOGISTICS practice for the
deployment.
    Anyway, in a scene showing the "DUST BOWL" at NTC, right after the
chopper lands, we get a shot of a (?deuce?) with civy tires and singles in
the rear going by. Can't see the bed.
    The rim center is 'out' like the inside dual is mounted but it is only
one inch (if that) in from the end of the hub. This normal? They use a
spacer or spool to move the contact point out from the drum?
    Also, lots of FMTV's and HEMETTS and lots of M109AX's, guess they
haven't fielded the FMTV replacement yet?
