    Was stationed in Kaneohe Bay Hawaii but I am now in the MECEP program attending the university of Utah in Salt Lake City.

    Just got rid of my 2008 sti hatch for an 11' trd off-road dbl cab in super white. It also had that "tx pro" package with different wheels, full exhaust, and a small spacer lift.

    It's good to see a strong military presence on this forum, I really miss the fleet now that I'm off in college trying to get that commission!
