Default Hello from Iraq

I've been an owner of a '98 TA for awhile, and now that I'm getting ready to come home from Iraq for the second time a few months from now, by home I mean Ft. Lewis WA followed by Chicago a few months later - got lots of questions I'm hoping people can help with.

Hey Raven what unit are you with? I am a part of 57th Trans and we are getting back to Ft. Lewis this week. I am stationed right now at Camp Arifjan. I know some about LSX motors and have a few buddies with TA's and Camaros. If you ever want to meet up and hangout shoot me a PM. Make it home safe!
