Default Back home in Texas

Well it's official, I'm out of the military and back home again. Look forward to meeting up with some fellow LSx'rs from the Houston area.
It's great to be home! Now I need to find a good shop to help me finish my WS6 project....

Last duty station was NAS Jacksonville FL. I had a great job there as an AT doing onsite calibration on engine test cells. (T56 and T700) Also APUs.
I didn't like the idea of going back to sea duty again.
What about you?

I got out in '03 - EM3(SW) Yokoska, Japan. Enjoy that steak and kick up your feet for a while - There will be no more morning muster at zero six hundred hours for you. Thanks for your service, and welcome home.

Were definately gonna have to meet up sometime soon. I have family in Htown so that wont be an issue as far as taking a trip down there. Car is still having issues with the hydraulics, dont think its the tranny, I think thats all it is. Clutch still grips like a ****.... I ran a C5 Z06 the other day and slowly creep away from him. Hows your bird doing and how much HP are you putting down now???
