Default The worst thing about FI...

Is that I cant enjoy it from Baghdad!!! Merry Christmas guys!!! Dont forget to say a prayer for all our troops deployed across the world this Christmas!!

I cant wait to get back and run my new bad *** Rear-mount setup!! If I was a betting man... I would say that we will see at least 50% of the top 6 FI setups on here will be Rear-mounts by the end of next year!!

Thank you for everything you've done for us out there in the middle east. I stop by from time to time to drop off some new toys and take your broken ones away. Hope you get to come back and play with your butt turbo soon...I have one myself and love it!

Hahah... walking around post can be dangerous at night with very little lighting.. so guys wear reflective straps to keep from getting hit by a vehicle by accident.
