Got a blown head gasket and I leave for the Air Force in a month so I need to know what i need to do to protect my car. I figure it will be in storage for at least a year. Any suggestions.

Put it on jackstands... Get a NICE car cover, and add sta-bil to the gas.
Would it be better to drain all the gas out? I have less that 1/8 of a tank in there so it wouldnt' be hard to drain it. If I drained it would could rust develope in the bottom of the tank, or the seals in the fuel system dry out? Which is better, fill it up put stabil in there or run it dry?:shrug:
there is a post already on here about that. im not sure what all everyone said but it was very informative. try a search on this topic and see what it brings up.
Drain the oil! I've heard coolant can be very bad for the main beaings! Other then that do a search been covered a few times. 
Blown head gasket?
Drain coolant, turn her over a few times to make sure no coolant stays in the cylinder if any got in there.
Change OIL.
Stay-bil in full tank of gas.

I've heard more than a few complaints about mice wreaking havoc when storing a car for a few months, so this info on my website might be of value to you. http://stangshiftergaskets.com/2003_2004faqs.htm#_Toc35092329
