Well, it's official. I am no longer a civilain....

[rakkasan]

I was sworn into the Army today. I leave for a refresher course on Jan 5th, so I have two months to get my personal stuff in line. But, I have about 4 months that I'll have to go through three different schools, then I'll end up at 3rd/75th Ranger Regiment at Ft Benning, Ga. I should be there 2-4 months before I go to Ranger School.

I've sold my business & my house, so there's not much holding me back. I'll be doing nothing but working out from the time I sell my house until Jan 5th, so I feel like I'm on vacation.....

Yes, I was. The first enlistment was from July 88 until Mar 96. I joined the FLARNG from 97 to 99....

Mark, congrats man. You have my utmost respect for serving our country AGAIN.

Btw, we need to talk about some stuff.

Let me know when a good time is.

Good luck Mark, and if you need me to watch your 1jz while you're in the Army, just let me know. I wouldn't do it for just anyone, but I'm willing to make an exception for your 1jz, uh, I mean for you...................lol

Honestly, that is not needed. He is doing this country a great service by serving AGAIN. Just because you are not man enough to serve in your country, doesn't mean that you can hate on us Americans for standing up for something we believe in.

WTF? I was implying he was going to befriend them and "take down the enemy". I did not wish for him to get shot.
