It would be advised not to make this political unless you want some critisism yourself.

Good to see you in the northern hemisphere again there Rich. What do you think about orcastrating another CTD Show of Force for us. I forgot who began the project, but he fell off the radar screen.

Brother, don't get me started on that one. I felt like I was in an episode of Romper Room.

Long story short, I got the assignment curtailed after 1 year and I'm gonna be back at Ft Benning. I was on the verge of doing a Congressional and made that very clear to the State Dept folks. That place is one big fraud, waste and abuse case and I could not stand to see anymore of our tax dollars going to some other friggin welfare state nation.

So, if any of you are in the military and someone asks if you'd like this wonderful assignment at an Embassy.........RUN LIKE A ****!!!! I have never worked for a more incompetent organization than the US State Dept. What a bunch of useless MF'ers. After 15 years in the Army, I thought I've seen a lot of dumb stuff and a lot of wasted time and money.....The State Department puts DoD to shame in those categories.

As far as doing the video, I won't be able to right now. All of my stuff is being shipped back up here and I don't have the editing software on the laptop (or the memory space and processor). Depending how the stuff gets shipped (air freight or sea) it could take up to 3 months to get my stuff back. I don't foresee it being that long, but I don't want to promise anything. If it gets back, I'll do the video, but right now I can't.

But anyways, I had the truck out today. Got her all purdied up again, changed the oil, gave her some love on a little red ricer already.
I don't have any of my tools here, so I had to take it to one of the local places that I trust. The last time I was there, I had my Super Duty and the manager asked how I liked this truck. Told him there is no comparison, this truck is head and shoulders better. Told him to take it for a test drive after the oil was changed. Right outside the shop is a big hill that runs about 3/4 of a mile. I put the Juice on Level 3 and let him take it for a ride. He came back with a grin.

Drew, what's with that pic of your truck? Is that from the tornado that went through or did you really have an "Epic Fail"?
