Welcome and a THANK YOU for your service. Men and women like you are the ONLY reason we get to do this.

Don't be affraid to ask questions around here as these are some smart (or well experienced ) folks. If nothing else, they will pitch in with "ya I made that mistake one time" stories.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. My apologies for lack of info. I'm stationed in Pensacola. It's actually pretty nice here.

Anyways, I'm trying to sell my Big Dog Chopper to help finance the purchase of my next project so we'll see how that works out!

Semper Fi!

Welcome to the joint. If you want any help looking for one of these things, I'm sure lots of us would like to help. Just let us know how far you're willing to drive or fly to check one out. Thanks for your service to the country. Saw a cool 53 today at a flea market. They will bring a smile to your face.
