    Sorry brother, but it's the truth. Take my niece for example. Bleeds for the RED WHITE and BLUE also. Most heavily actually. And because of her tours in Iraq, many have come back "by the skin of their teeth" because of her leadership skills. Helped raised in East L.A...by me :0)

    You probably shouldn’t be posting her picture and full name in the internet bro.
    I’m sure she can hold her own, but there are some sick weirdos on the internet

    selected for Major would still require some time before you actually get promoted.....in some cases up to a year depending on your number and date of rank......time in grade from Major to LTC is approximately 4-6 years, depending on MOS.........also, to be selected below the zone would mean not being in the eligibility zone or in the promotion zone.....many majors in are in eligibility zone for being selected for promotion, but they have to wait some time before they are in promotion zone....Two different animals..... however, if selected on time, one could be frocked to LTC if holding a LTC billet

    My 2016 Tacoma was full of problems, it was Texas built.

    I traded it for my 4runner, no problems, much better build quality and finish.

    I am happy.

    NUMMI was the beginning of the decline and it's all been downhill since.

    So many I got rid of it at 26k miles. Yoshi must have been on a sake burner when it was built.

    Never gave much thought to it in the past, my '15 was built in Mexico, had 1 little issue, a window track got bent, but I think it was ice related, one big issue, bad rod bearing and new short block at 10k miles (4.0). Both fixed under warranty. But I doubt the engines are built in the assembly plant, I'd guess there is one plant somewhere that builds engines?

    Meanwhile my brand new '18 built in Texas had a plastic rear bumper cap in the wrong color (metallic silver part on my Cement truck), a fender flare with a big gap, and a bunch of bulges and wrinkles in the rear seat leather cover. Just got it back from getting all that fixed (6 days with me driving a Camry, blech), now the lumbar support knob just came off in my hand this morning. WTF Toyota?

    From my little 2 truck sample I'm going to go with either Mexico has better QC, or it's all gone downhill for Toyota QC since '15.

    If this is the way it's going to be I might as well buy one of those new Jeep Wrangler pickups when they come out.

    I’m going to end it on my end with this. A white man presenting an important piece of metal to a brown woman for doing some crazy shit. Best part, helping to bring back Americans to American soil safely.

    Alls I know is my Tacoma, built by brown men/women, is a good truck. Not great just yet. Toyota has to wipe their rear end and get with it ala Camry style. Or! They’re waiting for us to show them what to fix...

    This is the new America btw, and we’re getting it done.

    Sounds worse than the Chrysler employees drinking and drugging on their break!
    Could you have refused delivery on the 18, given all those issues?!
