Another New Guy

Just wanted to say hi, and that I love the info on here. I just bought a 98 Z28 while I was on deployment. Wife took it out in the rain and managed to slide under a barb wire fence, take out a mailbox, and smack a tree before I got home and was able to drive it. So, the money I had planned for tuning it a little now has to go for a new hood, fenders, windshield, bumper and maybe a drivers side door. Gotta love her. Luckily, nobody was hurt.

Glad to hear your wife wasn't hurt in the accident, and that you're back in the U.S. of A.

Good to have another service member on the site.

What branch, rank, job?
I used to be a sergeant in the Army. Patriot missile operator.
Thanks for serving.

I'm in the Navy, I work on EA6B Prowlers. It's one of the ugliest planes you've ever seen. I'm an E5, been in 5 years. Patriots huh? I knew a few guys at Prince Sultan Air Base that worked on them when we deployed there before it got shut down. Just got back from Afghanistan, lovely place.

Thanks for the support, and thank you for serving!
