    Great Lakes it is, I'll be at my Non-Destructive Testing "C" school there. I'm from just north of Wausau. In all Honesty, my Brother is at UW Madison, turns 21 this year. I'll probably be there often! Need to find some "classy" ladies before I go off the map for 2 years!

    No, the TW guys seem to be pretty scarce on the north shore,

    met one guy at the tire store (a navy dude) that was getting a spare tire on his way to Va. But that's it

    Yes.
    No one ever wants to hang out with me...

    We had one lunch meet. That is all I have gotten to happen. Which makes me miss AZ even more.

    I'm about an hour from Wausau. An hour from Green Bay. South of Shawano.

    This.
