i know what you mean,.......being a private in the army with no bills money was rolling until it was gone.....when it was gone you just ate at the DFAC and stayed in.....lol......getting married and having kids makes that all go away.....HAHA......

Thanks for your service from a fellow active service member currently stationed at Fort Bragg. You will like it and it has been range proven....i have taken mine to everywhere from rifle ranges to demo ranges and it holds up like a champ

So Fort Bragg, would this mean that you have four aces? I have a buddy that was out here at lewis with me, that went to bragg and is actually on his way back to lewis apparently... has it survived a jump? i am not airborne but that would be a sick story if the reo survived a jump...

and yeah, private-specialist in the army, just blow through money like its nothing, spend here, spend there, buy this, buy that, get whatever, it was priceless when i was single in korea my unit was on separate rations...

best part, was me and two of my buddies would have to explain during room inspections why we had over 300 packages of ramen... (each of us had over 300)

i would make my own food 75% of the time, and blow it on whatever, but i always had the ramen and a bottle of protein shake mix, for the up the creek without a paddle moments...

I'm about 2 hours from Tacoma here in Marysville.

I have the iTaste SVD 3 T2's and a T3. They haven't puffed a single vape since I got my REO.

i actually come out to marysville from time to time... a year or so ago i was out in arlington every weekend, now i am out there occasionally...

I was in the 82nd from 03-09......i then reclassed to EOD and just when i thought I would ever come back to bragg I did after graduating EOD school.......so here I am again but this time I get to see the shenanigans from the 82nd from the outside and I have the liberty of making fun of them because I was once those guys......HAHA

The REO has survived a jump......i put my REO in my leg pocket and take the drip tip off.......never had a problem with it breaking......

Never an 82nd, had the opportunity to be a part of 160th, however, Airborne is not for me... jumping out of a plane that will land... no thank you... i hate falling, yargh... no airborne for me...

that is sick that it survived a jump... i mean wow

Holy **** thank you, wow, thanks, that is freaking awesome! This is still going to wait until at least either my tax return comes in, or march ish...

the mrs and i just came up with a better way for us in regards to spending, cant break it already... lol... but seriously thanks a lot, i will be sure to bring it up when i have the dough...

Gotta have your priorities, no doubt. I have twin freshmen who will be ready for college before I get turned around good, and some day, I'd like to retire, so I had to plan and wait for mine, too. The trade-off is maybe appreciating and enjoying it even more when I finally got it.

I only wish I had the means and ways to follow you both!

Not necessary, you dont need the means to follow, a big part of this is the friendly welcoming nature of here too, you guys are all kind and welcoming that is more than enough... and in due time we will all be able to contribute to bringing new Reonauts into their new home...

cuz I know Reoville is a place I consider home.

I am literally in tears right now reading all of this. I am also one who a long time ago became a new Reonaut. I love these people like my own family. They have helped me along my way with all my newbie dumb questions. God Bless each and every one of you! There are so many members in this family that I have had personal interaction with. That have sent me this or that. That have taken the extra time to explain things to me. That have sent me freebies etc. They all are awesome. Maybe we are all a family that wants to help each other out to stay off the analogs. To extend our lives and health. But like mentioned I have never found another place like this. And also have to mention Rob. And his Reo's. With him and all these awesome Reonauts I am here without an O2 tank in which I know would not be the situation today had I now found my Reo and all my new "Family"! Ok blowing my nose and wiping my tears now!
