My farewell post

Well, this is it. I leave wednesday morning for basic traing for the Navy. I just can't leave without saying goodbye and leaving you all hanging for over 9 weeks. I'll be back then and I'll catch back up. Hey I think I found something to keep this somewhat technical! While I am gone I am going to have my dad take my car and get the rust fixed and repainted. I'm thinking a basecoat/clearcoat job in black with pearl. Whatcha think?


PS
KED, It wasn't on today I guess bucause of the holiday. I'll get it tomorrow

Well, good luck. I've done my time at AF boot camp. THe only thing wrong with Navy, is that you'll "come out semen, I mean seaman"

As being a former navy brat, I reserve the right to make that comment.

Navy Boot is a joke. I did it. Shoulda joined the A/F though. Navy sucks ***. A/F takes care of people first, Navy people rank Last.
Though its better then the Marines...
