He's nuke maintenance (MMN) on a boomer. November will be his 6yr mark. He's in Bangor Washington till then, then goes to Goose Creek, SC for 3 yrs as an instructor at the Nuke school. He'll decide in 2 yrs if he wants to get out or re-up again.

In 2016, I did the same thing for my son for the same reasons. Picked up an 03 F150, single cab, long bed, 4x4, from Craig's list for $2500. Had 180k miles. Did a compression test, test drove it and then bought it. Went through the whole truck, made sure it was good to go, safe and would pass PA...
That's how I think as well. When I removed the coating and polished the snout of my Whipple... I was in thoughtless, no stress, don't bother me heaven for hours.

Damn... That is crazy. In the Marines, I had my cheat sheet, specific to each rifle, taped to the inside of my butt stock, a pencil, 4x3 note pad and eye ball checker for wind and distance, to figure everything out for a cold or hot barrel shot. I loved my time in STA PLT
