Enhhh...I'm too in love with the Stryker. Granted, the brigade I'm going to is rolling in A3s, which have almost all of the same digital capabilities as a Stryker, but they're still louder and slower. I grew up in Ranger Regiment when I was enlisted, so I've got that bias against them as well, but from an officer viewpoint, the challenges that a Mech Company Commander has versus a Light Company Commander are much greater. I like the greater challenge. So, I'm going in with as open a mind as an old 11B can (old as when they had 11Ms to do the mech stuff).

But this is getting a little too far OT, most likely.
