Red face i'm in Iraq, while my car is in storage... grr

hey all,

well for those of you that message me, just wanted to let you all know that i'm deployed to iraq for the next year... came over for 13 instead of 7 months so i can pay off my bills and do some major upgrades to my car.... it can get a little boring out here, so i'm trolling the forums to keep the spirit of my car in me! take care all.

Jesse

You're doing the country proud. Keep your head down and come home safe. I was there during operation desert shield and storm. But I only spent 7 months in country. Flash floods and sand storms, lots of fun.

I'm a week out from being done with my 15 month stint over here; it goes quick (ish).

Stay safe; enjoy the winter - I am freezing my *** off right now...

TQ - ?!?!? No way - I was JUST there over New Years! I flew in for a few days and then off to Falluja for a mission.

You know where the NMCB compound is - by the wrecked planes and the chow hall?

That was where I was staying...
