Hey, djp, what's a Medical Physicist?

This thread adds the CAR element. So:

Current:
1966 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible (440 -- I've owned it for 29 years)
1981 Mercedes 380SL (makes wife look hot)
1990 Mazda Miata Turbo (DD on nice days)
2000 Ford Expedition 4x4 (horsemobile)
2009 Pontiac G8 GT (DD in inclement weather or when I need back seats)

Some Notables from the Past:
1970 Caddy Eldo (10:1 502 -- 400HP 550FT-LBS and FWD -- What a Hoot!)
1973 Caddy Eldo Convertible (wife really wanted it -- it looked like an RC car when she drove it -- she got lots of tickets with it -- not nearly as good as the 1970)

Looking at this list, I guess I'm mostly a V-8 guy.

I got to go for an involuntary swim in the Red Sea in '91. Lots of sharks there too -- much like MT.net. My back and neck are still FUBAR from that experience.

Nothing wrong with boats at all it's just ironic. I'm in the desert right now so....boats are kind of out of place for me.

Nice edit buddy. I suggest taking your first name out of your profile and ditching New Mexico.

Jesus f*cking christ, the Staff NCO's at my recruiting station have all been in for ~10 years (some more) and are now Staff Sergeants. Good Marines too. If your 21 you must still have under 4 years of service, how'd you get to that rank so quick? What rank did you join as?

Well you know how they are about opsec when you're deployed....you'll see in your email but I won't post it up here because some way or another somebody would see it or find out and it would be a dumbass reason to get redlined. (Like nobody knows where this damn base is or what's here)

You may not have anything to "hide" but if you ever post any incriminating evidence somebody could use it against you. I used to be part of zeroyon out of Okinawa, and I had a video of me and my s15 drifting at Nago, some ------- used that to try and get me an article 15. It didn't stick because I had awesome supervision at the time and I deleted it real quick but it was lesson learned.
