He's a major but I'm not sure what he is doing exactly right now. He was in artillery for a long time and then his past two tours he trained Afghan military proper techniques of clearing an area, defense setups etc and then trained the Afghan police the same thing. When he was to be transferred from Hawaii he was suppose to be transferred to the east coast (where all of his family and his wife's family live) but the Suck decided to put him in the Stumps for some reason.

Needs of the Marine Corps come first... Either that or he upset the wrong person!

His CO told him he would put in a good word for him to get him something at Parris Island but it would most likely be behind a desk so he says he got put in the Stumps but I think its because he would rather do anything for the Corps as long as it doesn't involve a desk.

Today .... I washed and waxed my '07 FX4, vacuumed out good, dusted well, polished some, shined the tires, checked oil and stuff, replaced a tag light bulb, checked air pressures, ..... and this afternoon will polish the glass maybe.

I have two new headlights to go in my '77 too, and a pair of seat covers, though I'ld like to get my brake overhaul/upgrade done ..... the evening comes on too fast to get it all in. Gotta go find a haircut first.

Why do women just throw it right open, really.... I'll live but come on, i'm sure she never does it in parking lots
I dumped one I had dated for two years when I was 23 right after she slammed my car door for the second time (both times she was angry that the date was over so I could go catch some sleep before a 3am appointment with my mail truck).

Just recieved my 2" ready lift level kit. Went with the anodized red. Will get pictures once I install. Will probably end up putting it in this Friday, then off for an alignment saturday.

Well I finally had time today to do some work to my truck. During the hunting trip the other day, I had my drivers side hub start squealing intermittently. I had already replaced it not too long ago, so a quick call to the parts store, and I had a warranty hub in my hands. Tackled that and my level kit. The truck will have to have an alignment this week.

Anyways, heres a comparison shot, didn't realize the second shot was blurry until I got home.

Definitely looks better, and feels even better. Gained 2 1/2 inches according to the tape. Hadn't rolled it to settle the suspension, but it doesn't look like its settled much.

Installed Headwaters Seat Covers on my front two seats and console. Went with Realtree Max-4 HD. I highly recommend going with these covers. They are phenomenal. Fit and Finish is excellent. Looking forward to buying the covers for the rear seats now.
