So I’m in Iraq right now, and we all know that us retarded Jarheads get all kinds of money when we deploy. Well I just reenlisted over here and got a pretty nice (tax free) chunk of Uncle Sam. After investing a ridiculous amount of money and putting some aside for an “exotic vacation” when I get back. I had a little bit more left over and the wife gave me the go-a-head to do pretty much what I want (can afford). So here it is in all its glory.
I, too, thank you for your willingness to defend us, and the sacrifice your family makes.
And, what you are doing reminds me of what I was doing while in Vietnam. I was not married, but had a 55 chevy 2door wagon (not a Nomad) that I was building up to 525 hp with the 327 I had put in it before I was drafted. With a GTO 4 speed and 4:46 posi rear end already there. the "combat pay" of 125 bucks a month was going into the parts and balancing and blueprinting of the engine, and the Scheifer steel fiber clutch system. My brother had the engine back from Oregon Engine Center in Portland OR, the clutch system there, and withing 3 days when I came home on leave for my six months back "in country" after my first year there, she was running. First outing after a break in of a few days: A brand new 69 GTO driven by a guy with his girlfriend tucked up next to him. Blew his doors of so easy! He would not even look at us!
Anyway, have fun when you first get to drive your Jeep!
