Crying Shame

Hello,
just couldnt help posting this, these are the tools we have at the auto craft shop on fort richardson, complete set of engine machining tools, however, nobody that works there knows how to operate them, brand new, hardly used, wasting away....the things I could do with these.......

This is a total oh shit!!!! Moment man!

A sunnen automated cylinder reconditioning machine, a sunnen rod machine, and a sunnen head grinder! No tellin' what else is there!

And this is just the "hobby shop" for the base and not the maintenance bay???

Yep, cost is 2 bucks an hour to work in there, got lifts, tool room, welding bay, small scale paint room, media blaster and solvent tank! Some things cost more like media blaster is 7 bucks an hour and is very very small but, hey I'm not complaining! I just wish they had someone who could run all that fancy machining stuff, I have two 345 blocks and another 392 block I would love to play around with on those machines!

Oh I'm the 1sg for the brigade support battalion maintenance company, and we dont have anything close to this in our motor pool, only some general mechanics tool boxes......army doesnt let us dig into motors anymore, cheaper to just replace the whole thing....

That is some sweet equipment - but still not pay back enough for your service. Now if it came with an trained operator for you guys....
