Farewell Friends!
Well gentlemen, I've been a heavy user of this site for 7 whole years now. You guys have had a big part in feeding my sweptline addiction and turning me into the sweptohaulic I am today. I have met at least 30 or so of you in person and have made countless transactions with many others. This is by far the best online community out there and I honestly feel like several of you are true friends. Therefore, I felt the need to share with you all that my absence will greatly increase over the next 400 days or so. I've been a member of the Army Reserve for 9 years now as a heavy equipment operator, and today have finally received my orders for deconstruction serving in Operation Enduring Freedom. I've been bouncing back and forth from my civilian to Army job quite a bit since January preparing for this, but in just a few weeks it kicks into high gear. I'll drop in when I can, but still wanted to wish you all the best in the mean time.

Re: Farewell Friends!
Doug, I was wondering when the news would hit.
Thank you for defending our country man. I am not so courageous. I don't know how you'll be able to stay away from the kids/wife for so long but I know you'll think of them every minute while you count down to your return.
If you get any chance to post from there, show us a picture of what you see out there.
Please stay safe my friend.

Re: Farewell Friends!
Doug, I don't know you like many of the others do, but know you are a stand up guy. Appreciate your help with the trim for the '61. Best wishes for a safe deployment. Chris.

Re: Farewell Friends!
"Thank you" sounds like hollow words to say to someone who is being deployed to nasty places around the world to defend our freedoms... but Thank you, is all I can come up with.
I salute you.
Re: Farewell Friends!
Doug,
Best of luck to you during your deployment! Thanks for serving our country.
Whenever the opportunity arises during your time away.... definitely check in with
us.
