Default Shaw AFB peeps

I have THREE questions for ya

1) Anyone else ready to donkey punch someone (anyone) for the amount of speedbumps we now have to go over before getting to our NEW 35MPH speed limit through the main gate? Meaning is anyone else having trouble getting over them without bottoming out. Seems the ones near that near mechanical barriers and the one just before you get outside the gate seem to get my exhaust EVERYTIME no matter how I roll over them

2) Is anyone running with sway bars at all? If so are they hanging too low for these abominations on base?

3) ready to MOPP up

I don't rub on any of them, but I still wanna punch someone who thought of that crap. They are gonna be doing that to all the gates, the back on will be next after shaw furniture leaves, we bought that property. I think they are going to have to move the pizza hut housing gate to make that one the same way though. Maybe they'll open the gate by the old shoppette again. I have been on leave for the last 37 days, so no MOPP for me, but I hear we are going to again soon.

Well I can tell you who's bright idea it was....but I think you already know who as well. Hasn't made any of us happy thats for sure I asked the legal chick during the Phase II what I needed to do since I thought the bumps were responsible for my lovely Corsa getting jacked up and and make rear shock going out. She told me I'd never win a claim because the boss would see it and tell me there was no excuse and it was "vital to the mission" they were put in.

I didn't know they were doing all of them either. Was wondering what they were doing by the F-4 and stuff by that turnoff from the main gate.

Next one should be in November IIRC. They might do it differently then anyways because the Vice still needs to get his legs dirty.
