Thanks for your service.

http://www.ringpinion.com/Calc_RPM.aspx

Might want to check with this site on your engine's RPM at various road speeds. You can plug in different rear gear ratios to find the ratio best suited for your engine's RPM range.

Glad to see you're carrying the "nine" in a high holster. Never did get used to the drop carry holsters.

Let us know if you need anything over there............we always appreciated the gesture when folks responded to our requests for incidental items.

be safe

J/D/S · 01-15-2011, 11:55 PM

Thanks,

dan76 that site should come in very handy, As for the beretta all the schools and courses I have been to always advised to carry it hi like that, and after a good run it always ends up behind you or between your legs.

J/D/S · 01-20-2011, 01:23 PM

Here's a quick update,
I talked to Dwayne today and he said that there close to shooting primer.

Also that my FAST EZ EFI came in

And I can't remember who told me to have the cab seam smoothed also, but thank you I got ahold of the shop just in time to have them smooth it out.

J/D/S · 01-22-2011, 01:46 AM

Thanks Jonboy,

It was killing me not knowing who had given me the advice to smooth the cab seam.

Thanks again Jonboy

Thanks guys for all the kind words, I'm home and safe now but it is a sad day for the SOF community.

So with that being said this post is my moment of silence for the 31 SOF Warriors and there Afgan counterparts.
