Oklahoma Task Force One gets a new Rig!!

I'm proud to say that I am a member of Oklahoma Task Force One (OKTF-1), Oklahoma's urban search and rescue team. Our team will deploy to large scale manmade and natural disasters througout the US and it's allies and territories. The picture to the left is of our new USAR unit. Sweet, huh? It is built by Hackney and Sons (They also build beer trucks). Hackney and Sons is a subsidary of Gruman. Gruman built the A-6 intruder, the A-10 warthog (airplanes), and the apollo lunar excursion module. My current assignment is as a "Medical Specialist" so I get to craw through rubble, holes, and trenches and treat victims.

What? no more religions to bash? USAR mean US Army Reserve to most of the world. It ought to be USART for Urban Search and rescue Truck or something like that I know, to make sure the Oakies know what to call it, "Big White Truck" Yeah, thats the ticket!
