On the down side they bought you a ford... They could be trying to kill you ;) Dodge Ram for life ;) My cummins has never failed me 680k so far.

OK time for a smoke this convo has brought back some really awesome memories and I want to step back and enjoy them for a bit. ( hehe the smell of dirt sweat diesel and acu's lol my old uniform still has the sweat stains where the salt built up lol)

I really hope I get out on the road to meet some of you. Again Sorry Brett but sometimes a trip down memory lane is worth it.

I know you feelings on that Dewey lol we used to say "From basic to Bullets" Military version of ride or die :)

I am sorry we let ourselves get caught up in the past TT community.

Regator, the fact that he addressed you as "hun" told me all I needed to know about ol Zach, there...

Hey now calm down on the "Hon" business I always without fail tend to say Darlin or hon lol Zach is just being realistic to his own point of view, it is rather harsh but obviously his experiences have taught him that. Just as RedGators experiences have taught her to work closely with her DM. Every company will have different styles and approaches to DM driver relationship. The big thing is take it all in and realize maybe someday you may need to use either approach because you have a DM who doesn't like getting attached? or maybe you have a rookie looking to find 1 person they can use for their dirty work. Or maybe you have a DM who is a little bit smarter than the rest who asks for a favor every now and then but makes sure you get yours as well.

Lifes a gamble.. Let's roll the dice ;)

Someone please help :P

Sorry bro Thats a terrible thing to have happen I honestly don't know how you kept it together... My squad was pulling Op Sec for EOD route Irish when the Secondary went off before the Primary, couple broken bones was what I got jacobs caught the bulk of it , I know I don't need to explain it to you. I wasn't out of the induced coma when I found out they had already told his wife, took me almost a year to talk to her to apologize. The only reason I am still here is because of the rest of my squad. I don't even want to think about losing family like that in one go. You survive so much **** together then they are gone. Thats mostly why I left the military I couldn't handle being unable to protect my family.

I must admit thats the worst. It's hard to do that, I don't think I could ever do that.

Sorry about Your Brother. I hope he went quick.

Hey Brett if you have time to post here go take a lookie at my Topic :P

haha, but in all seriousness life is what you make of it. I have been shot twice, me and my Buddy LT. Jacobs got hit by an IED and thrown 35 feet in a concrete wall. There are alot of negative things in life. I worked at a manufacturing plant once it was 105 degrees working with no air flow it sucked.

I guess what I am trying to say is it doesn't matter what your doing there is always going to be a downside if you choose to see it that way.

The reason I want to go OTR is simple. I came home from iraq 5 and half years ago on medical leave. I got in my old stang and just drove. I didn't follow any maps I just drove where ever i felt like. I came over a hill and I got to see the sun kissing the mountains. that made this big guy pull over and cry I know its stupid but that made me happy to be alive. I started looking for a job 2 weeks ago I remembered that feeling yesterday and now it's simple for me, I have 1 goal. I want to see all the things I am missing by staying in one place. I want to know whats over that next hill. I am not worried about pay or hassles lol that's just another challenge for me. I realize that some people don't have the strength of character to handle these issues, but for me I just want to chase that sunset again.

**** I got long winded again XD

I guess that guy just wants to keep people out of the industry who are not tough enough to handle it. I won't lie I wouldn't want some rookie who thought this life was glamorous lose it behind the wheel of a 60000 pound rig because the air conditioner can't get it down to 65' degrees lol

I'm happy with an A/C system period. Here in Oklahoma (as I'm sure you all know) its gets hotter than two rabbits congressing in a wool sock in the middle of July.

haha I went to Fort sill, OK for OSUT training for the Army Any A/c is good a/c there lol
