Default I'm out...

Good luck. In '08 I was in Baghdad for a year at Liberty and 4 months at Balad (back in '04 when it REALLY sucked) as a civilian. I did all of last year in Kuwait. Get the $$ while they're still handing it out over there.

I did civilian work as an aircraft parts coordinator for the Army. I left early for personal reasons. Its not all that bad....but theres quite a few things that are hard to get used to. If I got a chance I would go back. I have nothing now holding me back now like a house payment or a wife.

I was a MRAP mechanic. I've gotten a few offers from contractors to go back, but right now I'm just gonna hang out around the house. Being gone 2 out of the last 3 years has taken a toll on me, and my daughter just turned 5 so I've got some catching up to do.

Let everyone over there know we truly appreciate their sacrifice and we support the Men and women of all branches.

It's a selfless gesture (joining the military) even if the upside is cash.

Life is a gift, FREEDOM is priceless.

Good luck John. Bring the car down to Austin when you get back. Hit me up and I'll tell you where the meets are. My cell number is still the same.
