Yes, It was a Marine Corps AAV. We rode off of the ship, motored through the water and up onto the beach. Pretty smooth ride in the water, not so much on a choppy beach.

Yes, a M113 APC

Yes, I was in a tank, it was very old one, after the second world war, and it was standing like a monument .

When I was a child I seem to remember going in a tank at an army open day but it is not something I remember very well.

Yup. Used to drive M577s and M113s. Even survived tipping over a M577 many years back.

My best friend was a mechanic in the Army. He got me in a M1A1 but I only got to look around, no ride :(. As for other track vehicles I have operated a D9 bulldozer.

Rented one for an hour. Enormous fun driving it. My wife didn't enjoy it as much though - got thrown around in back like a ping pong ball. It was actually a British self-propelled gun with a little troop carrying compartment. How the hell do crew/soldiers cope with being rattled about with all those hard, sharp edges??

Yes. I went through the Armor School at Fort Knox, KY, and was a mechanized infantry company commander with the 173rd Airborne in Vietnam.
