hummer training
This past Saturday we learned how to perform basic maintenance on a hummer, replace a tire, tow another hummer and egress from a flipped over hummer. Today we learned how to drive a hummer through mud and creeks, uphill and downhill. And tonight we will drive hummers in total darkness with night vision goggles on!
