    Just wanted to share that I did my last tour in the desert. I built some helo pads for the 2-159 Attack Recon BN "Gunslingers" those guys are great and it was good to help them out. Apache Longbows are awsome. So I go on terminal in March 2010. Its been a fantastic ride. For those still serving, keep up the good work and thanks for your time and sacrifice. For those retired already, yeah you know. For those thinking of joining, you'll love it. All said and done it will be 21 years, 6 months and 17 days. Any GI's ever in my area need a rack or a meal, me and the wife have a couple homes and would gladly set you up. Life is good.
