Where are our military guys at??

[USMCEvan]

So Ive noticed alot of guys in here are in the military, and many of them even say they are in San Diego, but where?? I know there is another MS3 on Pendleton here with me, I just cant find him.

So where are you?? If you are military, tell us what base you are on and what unit. Maybe we can get some of us together to kick back a few beers orswap stories about how f***ed up our command is or something.

[USMCEvan]

Okinawa..... fond memories. I spent 2 years in Okinawa with 7th Comm Bn as a Data Network Specialist (nothing "special" about it....) and had alot of buddies on the 31st MEU as well. God, I hate that island with all my bitter little heart, but there were a few bars I will miss. Fujiyamas FTW!!!! Now Im with CLR-1 on Pendleton, kickass place.

[jstone0415]

There is a silver MS3, up in Horno. My husband bought that for me when he came home from Iraq, but I let him drive it sometimes. He says there is also a red one up in Horno. And yours?

[supergoose]

Hey Evan, I remember that bar very well in Okinawa!!! I was there in 91' and got out of the Corps in 92'. Served 11 months in 1st Gulf War. So glad that I am out now but, very proud to have served!!!

[chacon101]

Man, I wish that I had been able to do an overseas run. I was in the Army for 6 years...I was an LPN. Now that I am out, my gut seems to have gotten bigger (scratch)

Not too late to change your mind.

HAHAHAHAHA. Very true!

Aaron, make the most of it. The opportunities to succeed are there, you just have to go after them.

haha... Okinawa was a very memorable place for me as well! I was stationed there at Camp Lester for almost 3 damn years! I remember gate2 street, kinville and even whisper alley, lol... Downtown Naha was always fun as well as the races by Kadena and the drifts at the industrial area by Futenma.

Have anybody thats been to Oki been to "the Stage"?

[Psycho_Maz]

How about the Banana Show out gate 2 at Kadena? Now that was scary. I lived outside of Camp Foster near the seawall.

I am an officer in the AF, about to hit 12 years this summer. Currently at Aviano, Italy. Was stationed at Hickam, Hawaii prior to that. Done some time at LSA Anaconda IZ but not near as long as the Army and Marine folks. It has been a great run so far. OMW to DC this summer.

[alca0811]

Anybody been to Sin town?? Oh sorry, I meant Kin Town outside of Camp Hansen. They have this pretty cool bar with a stage band and decent drinks. . . Forgot the name of it.

I also lived out by the seawall, accross from pizza house jr and behind hamagawa lodge.

Just left Hansen a few months ago, dude. You are talking about Fujiyama, I believe. If you read about half way down the third page, I mentioned it. It was where my best friends and I would drink every friday night, they knew us in there. My buddy was dating the door girl. Anyways, yeah, Kin sucked ass exept for a few small places here and there.


As for the red MS3 on Horno, that might have been me - I am up there all the time, hanging out with my buddy. He is in the S6 with 3/1. I didnt know about the silver one, though, just the black one on Main Side. So much for being unique. :P

[redspeed]

I see there a couple of us, military people. I'm at Ft Bliss, FSC Army Evaluation Task Force, 1st Armor Div. My job is petroleum supply, so please, don't hate me, lol ;)

I haven't seen the black one, but we don't go to Mainside much these days. At least you are the only red one on base so far.

[roadie]

I don't own a Mazda but I've been to this forum for a little while now. I'm in college at the moment and after graduation, I'm leaning towards the Air Force. I believe you can become an Officer if you have a Bachelor's Degree or higher. Something to look forward to :D

[ncspack7civic]

Right now im at charleston air force base here in sc. I've been in only about a year. Need to find some more cars guys though because a lot of people around here could care less about them.

No, my friend, "something to look forward to" would be getting back to the civilian world. ;)

[aaronc7]

4th year in AFROTC in Daytona...will commission in may 2009!

[Dozed]

I don't own a MS3 (yet), but I'm stationed at Cherry Point with the MALS. This place is horrible. I highly suggest staying as far away from here as possible.

I was deployed to Iwakuni last year. Had a good time, but I'm glad my stay was short. Things got old really quick.

My terminal leave starts December around Christmas time. I can't wait.

[sprinter119]

Coast Guard here stationed in Chesapeake, Va E3 now going to OCS August 7th 2008 cant wait. Hopefully then i can get me an MS3

[08MS3turbo]

I am also stationed at Charleston been here for alittle over a year. I am a Jet Engine Mechanic in the Air Force

[RODSCALIP5]

Okinawa is not bad when you live Off Base, oh and when you travel to mainland Japan/Korea/Australia/Hong Kong once in a while.

[stevekt]

I was in the US Army from 95 to 99 as a tanker stationed in Germany. Oh how I wish I had my Speed 3 when I was in Germany (autobahn). Did some time in Bosnia but thankfully never went to the desert.

[redspeed]

thankfully never went to the desert.

I wish I could say that. (sad2)

[Sho-Ryu-Ken!]

Just chiming in from Fort Lewis via Iraq. God, i hate this place... can't wait to drive my new "beast" (affectionally called that by my wife who drove it home from the dealership)...

[phenomeneon21]

I'm on RAP (recruiter's assistance) right now, but will be in Charleston, SC soon enough as a C-17 Loadmaster...I'm hoping when I go on my first deployment in April, I'll have saved enough to put towards a down payment on a Speed 3, assuming they're still available by the time I get back.

[USMCEvan]

Should be available. If not, theres always private sales. Or you can just steale one. :D LoL

[sea9]

Navy here. Just moved to Corpus Christi, TX. I'm a student naval aviator about to start primary flight school. Soon I'll be able to jump out of my turboprop training aircraft right into my turbocharged MS3. :)

[Aaron2112]

Wow missed this thread...USAF TRobertson and moonpie...Nah Im really looking forward to it no matter how bad it is its better than wasting away doing very little but making it by here in Fl. I need some excitement or at least some change. Plus I have always wanted to serve my country even if it is only for 4 years (thats if i hate it and dont re enlist). I love aircraft and such so I'm going to the USAF to work on them hopefully gonna get 2a2x3(i believe is what it is called) or some other maintenance job since I at least like to work on things (i work on cars now for school/job). Anyways I hope its gonna be fun or at least ok, it seems a lot of guys hate it, but I at least want the experience.

Edit: I sure do hope that I will be able to afford me a nice speed3 after i save up for a while for it. Living on base and all should help with getting money saved up but i dont plan on being able to afford one for at least a year...hopping to put down around 8k to keep the payments lower.

[EMPIRE]

I'm in NRD OHIO. Navy Recruiter out of Nrs Lakewood.

Benn a Carrier guy for many years (IKE, Vinson, Shitty Kitty, etc....). San Diego, Pt. Mugu, Norfolk, CT for shore duty. Don't have an MS3, but this is a great thread so I figured I would post.

Those of you that are overseas now STAY SAFE, and come home in one piece.
