Army guy first vette
Well as the thread says I have been in the army for 20 years just bought my first vette. It is a 2005 Mil Yellow 6 speed, nav, z51. I've only had it for about 2 weeks now me and the wife have already made a trip to the NCM and it was a blast. Hope to get some cool ideas from everyone I think I might be buried in this car.

Before I got out (97) they changed the name from mess hall or chow hall to dining facility.
The AF golf courses aren't bad either.

AMMO! EOD for my entire 26 years in the AF........retired out of the Elmendorf shop. Now working for Alaska Housing Finance Corp. as an Asset Manager (AssMan). We live up in Eagle Wood Subdivision. How come I've never seen that orange shark around town? We may have to hook up when the snow is gone.
I was stationed at Elmendorf for 11 years. 81 to 92. I retired out of Cannon AFB in N.M.. You might have delivered my munitions a couple of times.
We definetly should get together this summer.
