Military
More curiosity than anything.
How many of you have served or are serving in the military?
And in that did/would you when deployed/ PCSed store, sell, abandon, consign, let a friend or family member use or just plainly take with you your Ford?

Active duty AF, kc-135 tanker crew chief deployed now to the sandbox. (thats right.... deployed right now... ahhh the benifits of being a tanker)
right now my truck is parked at work back home. i told the wife not to drive it, just to drive by and see if its still there.
i dont let anybody drive my truck unless i'm in the passenger seat... no ifs ands or buts/

Come on Brian, you could have left the keys with me . . . I'd take real good care of it for you.
Fairchild has sent quite a few over that way. I'm not in the military but am very proud of our soldiers and particularly the Spokanites. Hat's off to you guys!

When I was deployed my truck stayed in storage box in town which was 75% of my time in. In 6 years I put 7,000 miles on it. Might as well not even had a vehicle.

Last time I deployed, I put mine in a nice indoor storage facility. Ran me about 100 bucks a month. But it was nice to know that it was out of the weather and wasnt going to get broken into/ stolen while I was gone.

Have not deployed yet, prolly leave my 02 with my dad, and any other vehicles I have running at the time and let him take care of them, I know he knows what to do and how to treat them.....and to make sure and stay on the pedal to keep all the carbon from building up. :P

Don't let a friend keep a vehicle to drive. If anything happens you will be responsible. Storage or parking it with a responsible family member is the best way to go. Don't let someone use it as a daily driver.
