hopefully your luck will be better than mine has been.

Still.....a new year. Jan was dead but Feb is looking up job market wise (at least around here)



I've had several recruiters tell me that the market is starting to look up. No one seems to know for the moment whether its a temporary spurt or a solid trend, though. The most hopeful thing I've heard recently was during an interview I had with an aerospace component company I had yesterday. One of the guys interviewing me was a sales manager and he told me outright that although they did have a pretty rough year last year, they are seeing very good numbers for this year already (all other things being equal, of course). To my mind, if aerospace is picking up, everything else should be right behind. I hope that's true.....for both our sakes.

I noticed that you declined to refute the point he made Mr. Ad Homonym.

Oddly enough, that has to be a really old tank, since almost all modern ones have smoothbore guns.

yep....turret is too tall for a Sov design and that clamshell glasis is a dead giveaway.

All Soviet tanks from the T-62 on had smoothbore guns. Sabot rounds pretty much dominate modern tank weaponry.

It's also interesting that there is no bow or coaxial MG, and the driver is on the right...or at least seems to be.

I'll have to disagree on that. The slope of the turret isnt right.

M-48:



I'm with Onime. Looks more like an M-60.

My mother used to drive Army tanks....wait, no...that's supposed to be YOUR mother used to drive army tanks. And she wore combat boots too!

I can see that this issue will not be resolved until someone smacks Nik on the head with a large log.
