four more days until I get to go home and get some work done!! I haven't been able to play with my truck in about 7 months (since I joined the navy). Now my christmas leave is finally coming. I can't wait to get home and start blasting and painting the shortbed frame again! Woohoo! Two weeks to use as I please! HAHA YES! I miss my trucks, and I finally get to play with them again. No PT, no watches! Excellent!

Oh, I almost forgot what I came to ask about.. My dad found an 88 half ton chevy that will soon be junked. Can I get use the disk setup on my truck? I don't suppose I could just swap crossmembers.. How about from the balljoints out? Thanks!

It's been good so far.. I've been in school since basic, and I've got a long way to go. I'm going to the nuke school, and I still have about a year to go. I'm starting to think I should have gone conventional EM instead of nuke.. I'd be close to sea by now.. Were you sub or surface? I haven't decided yet, but an ssn looks pretty good to me.

Surface on the USS California. It was a Nuke powered cruiser before they cut it up to make honda parts.
I was friends with alot of Nuke EM's and they all had to put up with alot at sea, but all got high dollar jobs when their time was up!!

The outside world loves anyone coming from the Navy with a technical background.

Have fun with it, and stay out of trouble if you make it to Australia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
