What did you do with the $$ from Iraq While I was over there I bought 2 tvs both 27" for $50 and 2 xbox and played halo all my down time. When I got to kuwait sold everything for $100 including an AK-47 with 10,000 rounds. Came back and bought a truck, pawned it off on my parents then got my 2001 SS, thinking about getting this Trailblazer SS with some of my Iraq money.

I was in Iraq for the first year. In October of '03, I sent Joe Prince (a sponsor at the time) a check for $10,000 for an assembled 427 longblock with the assumption is would be ready to drop in when I returned. In June of '04 I recieved the block, crank and pistons. And that's all I ever got from 'ol Joe. ************ stole my combat pay. My car is in the shop as we speak finally getting the motor put in, over two years after I paid for a complete motor and after spending big bucks rebuying all the parts I got ripped off of. I also got a Moser 12 bolt and t-56 swap the month after I came home.

Yeah I remember you getting fucked over pretty hard........ Have you kicked his *** yet for that....???? I would not stop looking for him until the job was finished.... 
Going to buy a 97-99 Corvette for less than 20K and buy a Hi-flo twin turbo setup for it.... I already have one new motor lookig for some boost. Eventually I will get the Camaro back on the track sooner or later.

You get tax free(mine's $400 extra/month) and hazardous duty pay(for me it's $225/month). Every branch is different on the pay you get

If he did that i can find him.... let me look.........

Dude, that is all kinds of fucked up. I would probably lose it if my combat pay got ripped like that and that man would be dead already.
on a side note....looks like i'm heading back to Iraq for another round, was already over there for over a year, back less then a year, and heading back already....i hate being an MP in the reserves

Now one thing that did scare me was getting a phone call for a part and hearing gun fire in the background. I didn't ask questions ... I just took the order quickly and let him go.
