During the Vietnam War, the USA Armor School at Ft. Knox KY was about 8 weeks (for AIT). But during the war, those tanks at Knox were old M48A2C Patton 90mm gun (medium) tanks. They were very primitive: Auxilary V-8 gasoline engine (called the little Joe) in the same engine compartment as the V-12 gas engine. Selector switches for fuel tanks, magneto ignition, priming pump to start either engine, and a chest set for crew commo. The M48A3 diesel Pattons were sent to South Vietnam.
The M1 Abrams MBT (Main Battle Tank) is just the opposite of the old Patton tank. The Abram's is extremely complicated, when compared to the Patton. In fact, the -10 MUST BE USED to put the Abram's into operation (it's almost like a pilot's check off list). In Vietnam, crewmen never even seen a -10, that's how simple the Patton was to operate (compared to the M1).
Consequently, AIT for M1 crewmen might be a bit longer than 8 weeks.

Equipment needed for your job. (Vietnam War era) 1. A Grunt's (infantryman) combat gear is his rifle, grenades, pack, steel pot (M1 helmet), ammo and canteen(s). 2. A tank crewman's combat gear is his CVC and .45 pistol (then he climbs into his tank). CVC=Combat Vehicle Crewman helmet. 3. A pilot's combat gear would be his thigh map/note book, pen; flight gloves, helmet, survival knife, sidearm (pistol), flares, etc.
Which is best a m1a2 abrams tank or a t-90 tank?
Well, this is hard. Let`s just take a brief analysis of both tanks. First: the T90 The T90 has an autoloader, wich means crew is reduced to 3 and the rate of fire is higher. The T90 is smaller, more compact wich makes it a harder target to hit. It weights only 46,5 tonnes while the Abrams weights 67. This means the T90 is much lighter, mainly thanks to its smaller turret. The Abrmas has an composite armor made of depleted uranium and is much thicker than the T90`s but the T90 has its build-in upgraded Kontack 5 Dynamic protection (ERA). It gives extra protection against everything. In total the T90 has 800-830 mm against APFSDS 1150-1350 mm against HEAT. The T90 also has active/passive protection systems (shtora and Arena) wich are designed to protect against rocket propelled grenates and anti-tank guided missiles. Like most Russian tanks the T90 can fire guided missiles from its maingun wich can be a decisive advantage in longer ranges 2-5 km. Unlike the T72s in the gulf war, the T90 does not lack thermal sights. Now the M1 Its much heavier and this means extra armor. The big turret of the M1 has better ammo containment and this means the M1 is safer if any projectile manages to penetrate the armor. The M1 has a 1500 hp engine, wich is about 500hp more than the T90, but less fuel efficent. Finally I have to say that the M1 is combat proven In a few words: The M1 is a great tank, but personally I would go for the Russian T90

Do Most M1 Armor Crewman like their job?
It truly depends. The job may not be the job for every one. Most people who enlist work with their recruiters and do research on what its like to be an M1 armor crewman. So I would say that yes, most of them like their job because they found it was the right job for them. But its not the job for every one.
