Re: APC Development and related topics.
I always feel better after fighting the "Red Man" a couple of times in the heat of a SE Ga. day. Anyway I hit " pay-dirt" and if they abide by the delay the only USMC amphibious replacement program we're likely to see in the game will be the AVC 1.1 if you read the article it covers all the issues, if not, I'll be nice enough to tell just read the lower left section of this ref. and you'll see where I'm coming from.

Note the GAO normally gets it's way where money is concerned.
For very recent background information, this is very good...

Forgot to add...My MARINE friend out here was one of the very first to question the troop carrying capacity of these vehicles 10 vs standard 13 for a squad. I think she secretly works on the GAO Military Advisory Committee or MAC but not like "Hey Mac" - might get you a dirty look from her!?! 
Regards,
Pat
