Talk:LAV-25

message: This article specified that the LAV-25 runs on "diesel fuel (JP-8)". JP-8 is a kerosene-based jet fuel, not a diesel fuel--helicopters, jet aircraft, and turbine-powered vehicles such as the M1 tank use it, but not diesel engines. I find it hard to believe that JP-8 could be used with the diesel engine with which the LAV-25 is equipped; however, I couldn't find any reference confirming or denying such. A search with google pulls up dozens of articles which read exactly the same as this article did...but I think they're all either copied from this article, or from the same source as this article.
Anyway, I removed the link from the article. If I erred in this, please fix it and post a reference in the article and here in the discussion page. Dziban303 01:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Added information on the LAV-25A2 upgrades.  Pictures of the new armor package can be found here: http://www.usmc.mil/marinelink/image1.nsf/Lookup/2006922121058
Question:  I have not seen any information on the T/O & T/E for the USMC LAR Bn's.  Should this information be included in this article or within each LAR Bn article?  It may be redundant to place the information within each separate Bn's article as they are generally the same.  I believe that this information should be placed here.

message: I do not think that this has been retired.  I know that we had several with us when I went to Iraq with the intial invasion.  That was four years ago but i doudt they were retired since then.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.203.128.28 (talk) 11:41, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The LAV-AD has been retired for at least a year and a half. I don't know exactly when, but a SSgt basically told me "we don't use 'em anymore". --Johnny (Cuervo) 01:43, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The LAV-AD's were administratively attached to 4th LAR Bn, although they were manned by active duty Marines.  The platoon was piece-mealed out for OIF '03 with det's serving with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd LAR Bn.  They returned to the States in the Spring of '03 and soon after the vehicle was retired from service.  Certain circuit cards that controlled all aspects of the fire control cost $10k++ each and were a relatively high failure rate item.  Once the vehicle was out of warranty, it was no longer cost effective to keep the vehicle in service.  I believe the turrets were removed and the hulls reused, but I do not know what for.  Sorry, no source to site, just personal conversations with maintenance personnel from 4th LAR Bn. Jct0302 (talk) 23:03, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm a 2147, and I've only ever heard the command/control vehicles referred to as "C-squares" since MOS school, versus the "C-two" I just saw. I corrected the article to read "'C-squares' or 'C-twos'", but I'll be consulting fellow LAV mechs to see what they think. --Johnny (Cuervo) 02:27, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, apparently, some guys who've been around longer than I have still call them "C-twos". *shrug* Us boots were taught "C-square". --Johnny (Cuervo) 08:07, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

message: The heading to this section needs to be changed to "LAV-1" since that's what they are re: "LAV-2" and "LAV-3" are follow-on models. Anyone who refers to LAV-1s as "LAV-25s" comes off as uneducated and plain old wrong. The page listing the LAV-1 sub-types as "LAV-AT" and what not further gives away the lie. If GDLS fangirls are vandalizing this page to further corporate greed because LAV-1 looks bad aka old, that's too damn bad because they are LAV-1s since they have made LAV-2s and LAV-3s afterwards.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.190.165.112 (talk) 02:32, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
