Paul, glad to hear you are doing fine. I did some training at both Ft Irwin and Ft Hood, when I was in the Marines. I was with an 105 artillary battery at the time. You must have a different MOS as they dont need arty in Afghanistan, do they? By the way we had Kawisakis in the corps near the end of my second hitch. Miss your dune whip clip and will miss your posts if you do get deployed. Love the site.
