Hello Everyone

Hello everyone

I got a Tacoma 2014 access cab 2x4. Nothing fancy but it does the job and I'm very happy with my purchase.

As for me and as the name implies I'm a soldier in the National Guard, did 9 years in the regular Army with two tours to Iraq both the invasion and then the surge of 2007. And one to the Stan in 2005 also been to Korea, Italy, Ft Polk and Stewart. I drive 200+ miles to my unit, which is where the 4 cylinder comes in handy since gas has become kind of expensive.

Any who hoping to get the most out of my truck and since it's paid in full mine as well get to know other Tacoma users who are far more knowledgeable and can give me hints on taking good care of my truck.

Respectfully
Soldier

 

Welcome and congrats! Thanks for your service!

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Thanks everyone

 

What battalion were you in at caserma?

 

When I got there it was 501st FSC and then we went to Iraq after we came back and were getting ready to go to the Stan we turned in to a CSB or something but then it became SB 173rd. B. co.

 

Ah okay I was C co. 1/508th then C co. 1/503rd when it changed before OEF8 I really liked that assignment.

 

Welcome

 

oh ok so you where there around the time they started doing all the changes?

 

yeah I got there in 05 its a hell of a place wish I could go back

 

It's not bad but didn't like Italy to be honest. People are real snooty and uppty. Stores were always closed when you needed them. I did love to travel though around Europe though. The unit it self is not bad but not great either but it has a lot of history which is by I always wear my Sky Soldier as my combat patch.

 

I still to this day also everyone remembers and sticks together here that is from the herd.

 

That I agree with just before you got there we where the only unit to have two American flags in our uniform the big one on our right shoulder and the small one below the unit patch. I spent five plus years in that unit as a small arms and artillery repairer, you might have seen me here and there, in the Armament shop I was the NCOIC.
