Yea I take my 3yr old down there. I know a couple guys who go there, last week (fri) there were 3 late model mustangs up there and no late model GM stuff. I just park off to the side cause it is usually rope'd off, most stuff is older, though nice. A cust of mine brings his tubbed Nova up there big block, nos, you get the pic. I will def be going Fri see you there (weather permitting). The local used car dealer sponsors it, try'd to get my dealer to do it since we are a Chevy dealer but noooo.....

I am so ******* ready to be done with the navy. I am still at work and I got here at 5:15 a.m. this morning. It would be fine if I was getting overtime or working a double. Just ready to do something else right now.

I'm thinking about going to work for the post office. My time in the military crosses over and it would be alot less stressful with the same benefits and better pay.

I guess that's why they say choose your rate, choose your fate.
I've been in 10 yes and I love my job.
2 more years here and that puts me at 12. Then 3 years shore. 15. Then one final sea tour and I'm done.
If I get it my way I'll never go back to a ship.

One more flight and I'm home. In charolette now.
