You know, it's taken me 4 days of looking at this thread to realize you misspelled "soldier."

Good luck. Thanks for stepping up.

Care to elaborate?

Not everyone will have the same experience in the military. Some people love it and stay in for 20+ years. Others do their 4 and GTFO.

I guess I've just had a bad experience with the military in general so far. Been in a little over 2 years and I can't wait to get out. I guess it's not for me, some people it is, but some, it isn't. That's all I'll say on that note. And don't get me wrong, I do appreciate all the people that have or still are risking their lives for our freedom. I'm an Iraq Vet myself, will be going for my 2nd tour, come February.

I spun two rod bearings ( #5 and #6) which jacked up the crank and also burnt #7 piston. I am working on getting another short block and put it back to stock. I actually talked to a guy the other day and he said he wanted the car and he shot me a down payment on it yesterday, so it looks like it will be gone by March

Can't help but notice that there are 350Zs running around ALLL OVER both Ft Gordon and Ft Drum. See very very few F bodies.

Seems like Hayabusas and 350Zs are the primary performance purchase.

Good luck on your search. If you're flexible on color it will be a quicker search. I looked for 5 years for mine, but I wanted an '02 NBM WS6 6 speed with black interior. I passed up lots of very nice WS6s during that time.
