Good decision man. It has certainly saved my *** a couple of times. I dont DD or drive my car in the rain, but every once in awhile I'll be out cruising or something and get stuck with it raining or leave after it has rained. My set-up and 4.10s not exactly the most traction happy even on dry roads. LOL

What this soldier said. I trusted my wife during my first deployment, knew her from high school. Left married, came back and quickly divorced cause she was a lying cheating, bad... woman!!!

Basic is 10 weeks long unless your infantry then its 13 so your looking at over 2 months of seperation right there. Believe me when I tell you probably will deploy sometime after ait. Spouses tend to react weird or act out (cheat, lie, party excessivly, blow money, etc.) when their soldier is deployed and they are in a new environment with few friends and are just plain lonely.

Point is your gonna buy a nice ls1 car right before you leave for the service just to let someone else drive it. Why not wait till you get out of ait, take your sign on bonus, then buy one.

Just reading through this and this is really weird. A good friend of mine went to training for the Navy and his girlfriend at the time went to my university (don't see her around much at all). I see him when he gets back and he tells me she left him for another guy. I was like WTF you're gone for two months and she leaves you after a long going relationship? Not right.

Definitely wait until you're back man.
