Awesome. McHales Navy and Rat Patrol were my favorite TV Shows growing up. Funny how much I love boats and my Jeep!

Rat Patrol was COOL !!! I remember it coming on around 3 or 4 in the morning. The jeep jumping over the sand dune with the gunner was really cool. Dave

When we were kids, my dad had an ex military jeep he used for plowing. We used to "play" Rat Patrol in that thing for hours on end.

Now, kids just turn on a screen and their thumbs do the "playing".

Oh man, I remember that. I thought about that show a few years ago when they pulled this B25 off the bottom of Lake Murray.
