Remember, the only mod you need to make to the Z when you get back is your butt in the driver's seat.

Stay safe and here's to you

I would say there are probably 15+ operating bases/areas in Iraq and 130,000 army so chances are slim that I'll see him. I wish him the best of luck over here - the Army makes it so the Air Force can sleep well at night

Thanks for serving and putting some juice on the Z is a great idea when you return as more zip is always a good thing

Default Thanks for checking in

Thanks for serving your country. I did a tour in Vietnam and it can get boring sometimes, but the enemy always has little (and sometimes big) surprises to liven up the day. Be careful out there and don't belive the left wing press. You guys are supported and what you do is appreciated by America.
