Default Goin back to Iraq

Well the time back home's been nice, but its time to go back Tuesday morning at 0600 Got my 9" and BMR suspension installed which turned out to be a big *** hassle but definitely worth it. Didn't get to go racing, ended up spending all my time with family and friends. Not sure if I'm reenlisting, or if I'm gonna get out and get a job with LA County Sheriff so might be coming back to So Cal in about 9 months or so. I'm trying to get a built 355 shortblock for when I get home next time so I can spray a progressive 250 shot on it so we'll go racing then Take it easy guys

No amount of money could make me reenlist. Honestly.

(My job is offering $5X,000 to re-up...No thanks.)

eh we'll see, i can extend for 1 year I think for maybe 3k... we'll just be working the road at carson (MP ) and I have no problem with that. Just don't wanna get stoplossed (again) and have to come back ya know. It's gonna suck trying to transition back to civilian life coming right off a 15 month tour though, that's where the 1 year extension comes in.

Be good, come back safe, and become a Sheriff. We all could use someone on the inside.
