Anyone serving our country has my respect and admiration! I servered 63 through 66 USAF. Linesma, good luck wherever you go and may GOD be with you!

Everyone that graduates from HS should serve 2 years! Perhaps our society as a whole today, would be a better place which to live. Sincerely.

Teetertotter - thanks for your support. I greatly appreciate it. I have been in now for 14 years, and I have had a blast.

Oshkoshbajawsh - You hit the nail on the head. My parents live in Mason City, IA. I grew up in Charles City, IA. Which is just 30 miles east of Mason City.

Welcome to VA Linesma! I was in the Air force '91-98. Enjoy the fun on 495~!....Welcome to the outer and inner loops!......Great decision on your dogs as well. Beagles are great. You probably could have driven faster.....and walked the dogs less often!.

linesma

musicheadt - Thanks for the welcome. I live in Alexandria on the south side of the beltway, and I drive south to work in the morning and north in the evening. So I do not get to fully enjoy the traffic around here. Did roll a gov 3-ton at the mixing bowl back in 1998. That was fun....not. You are right. Beagles are great. The male is 10 and the female is 16. They have lived with me since 2001. It only took me 27 hours to get from Cali to Iowa, and 18 hours to get from Iowa to DC. I would have drove faster, but I used my cruise control to keep the speed down. Did not want to get any tickets.

Did you have the alignment done with the stang loaded down?
Usually modifying the front end to adjust means major misalignment
problems.

157db - I had the alignment done after I unloaded the car at my dad's house. The car's front end started to drift about half way through Colorado.

zid3 - Been in 15 years. My Billet MOS is 5523, which is (are you ready???) a Musical Instrument Repair Technician. I have a secondary MOS as an 0331. I started with the old M60E3, and then went to a M240G. When I picked up SSgt. I had to turn it over to one of my younger Marines. They still let me use the M249 SAW, (only when they are not looking ).

I do have to say that Virginia is MUCH better than 29 Palms, CA
