Warthog is a spunky little thing. He enoys all kinds of activity, but especially military events, bases, etc.

About This Item

Tank Killer

The A10 was built to stop an expected flood of Russian tanks, should NATO ever go to war with the Soviet Bloc. I was a laser targeting (Sensor Systems) tech on the initial A10 Cadre as we deployed to bases in England, so this little guy holds some sentimental history for me.

After the Soviet threat dissolved, the A10 was threatened with extinction as military programs and bases went under the post-cold war budget chopping block. Fortunately, the bean counters hadn't completely axed the program when Desert Storm began, and the Iraqi's quickly learned how deadly a pissed-off Warthog can be.

This 'Hog was made with Ground Support in mind, and he would enjoy meeting as many current and former Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines as possible. Please help him on his goodwill tour - and please post pictures of the adventures you take him on. He's not pretty, but he's a ham when the cameras come out!

We went for a night time excursion for this cache. Thought we'd add some excitment to the hunt. We'll try to place the warthog somewhere interesting.
