19, first year Mass Communications/Journalism major. I used to be a Computer Science geek then I realized there was math involved. So now my life goals have turned 180*. I'm in ROTC at the moment, if I stick with it I'm shooting for an Armor Officer (tanks and such) which is MOS 19.
I'll admit it though, I'm a Chevy guy (cruicify him!) I work mostly with the F-Bodies (Camaro/Firebird) my family's gone through 5 from the second generation on. I've restored one thirdgen and done major work on another. But I have simply fallen in love with my Aerostar. My rents want to have it crushed.

16, junior in HS. I'm torn on career paths, either I can go through basic this summer, enter the Army post high school, and fly helicopters, or go to Embry-Riddle and become an airline pilot, which is what I've wanted to do practically forever. I drive a '94 Ford Ranger, took them a while but the parents have really got into my customizing it now.

Names Chad, just turned 18, senior in high school. Current job is a residential electrician- soon to be certified as a commercial electrician. I also help dad run the family carpentry business whenever I have time, building houses, barns, garages, and doing all kinds of remodels. Hard work but it's good stuff to know/learn.

I also work on cars and trucks whenever I have time. Currently working on my F-150, debating on whether or not I want to have the E4OD rebuilt tough, or swap in a ZF manual. So far I have found a few parts for that, but haven't found the right tranny yet.

Alright here we go:

Hello, my name is Kurt, and I am an alcoho... oops, wrong thing.

Ok, I'm 25. I have a Bachelors of Science in Management, with a focus in Information Technology. I was an employed computer tech for 3 years, then got let go when they felt the need to hire a high-school co-op student that they didn't have to pay benefits to and could pay minimum wage. So now, I run my own computer / IT business. Business is very slow. I'm looking at joining the Air Force this coming December if things dont turn around. Of course, this whole Iran thing could turn me off to that idea.

As my user name suggests, I have a 1970 F100. I put an ~400hp FE 390 into it. It was fun to build, and even more fun when you mash the gas pedal. My daily driver though is a rusted out white '92 Ford Exporer, with 217,000 miles. Still runs good, although it does have an exhast leak. I plan to rebuild it this summer with a Comp cam, ported heads, custom pistons, etc. Should run good when I'm done.

I’m 22, and getting ready to graduate from the Air Force Academy with a BS in aeronautical eng, my focus was in jet propulsion. Looks like I will be going to Mountain Home AFB ID for a while (anyone know of a good mod friendly dealer there?), and then after a short stay there, off to Columbus Miss for pilot training (same thing with a dealer?). After that, hopefully I will track into fighters, who knows where I will end up at that point. You can see my signature for what I drive.

22, graduating crim. justice major at Westfield State in Mass. Who knows what's going to happen after this semester... Probably something in law enforcement. I guess my major hobbies are working out, working on the truck and just having a good time... Haven't had much free time recently, and if things work out I wont have any for quite some time assuming I get hired --- which is ok, I need the money.

Where are you other Mass. guys from? I go to school in Westfield and live in Westborough.

Tom
