    Hey guys, FYI...on March 31, Anniston Army Depot is having a job fair. There are over 120 permanent positions including engineers, IT, chemists, mechanics, welders, and many others. I've not seen the entire list but they are going to hire these. If interested bring multiple copies of your resume. They will do interviews that day. Just wanted to relay this on.

    @stronghammer I got my nephew to send me a pic of the bar I did. I'm positive our bama brethren won't like it but I'm proud of the time I put into it. I think it came out good for the first time I attempted it.

    This is the first time I've seen it in 10 years. I'm surprised at the yellowing or maybe it's the light I dunno

    Mainly on Abrams power packs and their final drives. Some on Stryker paladin etc. So cool

    In 2011 they built a new transmission facility. Not sure about the automated part. It's a really nice place. It would never hurt to at least come and put out some resumes since you already have some experience here. Every other Friday off is a nice "perk"

    Yeah the back gate coming in was where the building was being started when I left. Wish I had seen it completed.

    Our advisors we're 2 guys pulled from retirement iirc. Billy and Joe. We worked in that little white house thing walking in from the back lot with bridge.

    I might come take a visit that day thanks for heads up.

    Does your bike have 600cc's and is it of petrol combustion power? I don't like the main roads either. My wife and I try to stick to the back roads

    Thanks man I appreciate it

    It wasn’t the cooler, it was the dumb ass that had the alcohol in the cooler that killed a beautiful 21yr old girl this weekend! Off-roading and alcohol don’t mix!

    How difficult of a process is that to have removed ? And I'm running a 33x12.50x20 now, would they still clear ? I'm in the process of trying to trade or sell my wheels and tires now
