I'm sure it's missing you too. Probably feels neglected. It will be a happy reunion when you return. Thanks for serving our great country.

Whoever says Seabees don't see hostile action is full of ****.

I know she feels neglected from her normally driving behavior, my girlfriend is driving it while I'm gone and she drives like an old grandma so I KNOW that Triton is under there goin' "COME ON!!! OPEN ME UP A LITTLE!" Lol. But I know she won't. She is happy though that she doesn't have to readjust the seat and mirrors everytime she gets in it now.
