3 months? That doesnt sound like a military trip?

[firebirdcrazy]

3 months doing what? I have been there myself any questions feel free to ask.

[98tadriver]

[Frosty]

yea, thats short for a typical deployment, unless you're in intel where its target based and you could be back in two weeks.

[JerzLT1]

[JerzLT1]

GE F110 we just switched over from the P&W F100. the conversion was a pain in the ass. now we have a UCI coming up on top of finishing up with the conversion.

Good luck Josh. I got your text on my way into work when I remembered to check my phone. We'll have to get together before you head out.

[Stroked355Z28]

Good Luck & be safe Man, don't forget your red bandana and to watch Rambo before you head out. One of my friends just enlisted in the Army and he ships out I think at the end of the summer. Best of luck. Jeff.

[JSPERFORMANCE]

stay safe so we can spray the bag outta that thing when you get back!

[Untamed]

Hopefully you will have just the three month deployment, and not get snarfed by another branch to drive trucks for another year or so. That's been happening to people for years now.

Good luck!

Be safe man, best of luck

Carefull what you post up on the net man, especially about specific dates and times for deployments.

Other than that, I wish you the best of luck. I have been over there numerous times myself, and know what life is like for the deployed military member. Stay safe, bring plenty of video games, books, music, and movies as you will find a lot of time on your hands. And most importantly, thank you for your service to this country of ours. It may not mean the same coming from a fellow military member, but I thank you in your same decision I made when choosing to defend the nation for a living.

[chemicalstylez]
