Be safe, John!!! If you need somebody to look after your truck for you, just get the tranny fixed and let me know.

we did our anit terrorism brief today, you would think after all that has gone on in the last few years it would have changed some since i joined the navy back in 95, but nope, it hasn't. anyway, from the other part of the brief they gave us, the germans are slow workers and don't like it when you out work them. they'll tell you to go sit down. lol.

True. That describes most of the Euro's anyway. I spend too much time over there. My advice is be the Proud American that you are and they'll respect you all day and night! You can prob'ly drink most of them under the table pretty easily and although they like to play, they typically suck.
just my exp. .02

can't get no prouder than me... our work schedule is going to be 7am to 3pm. they refuse/don't work past that or longer than that. weekends off. (not sure if thats gonna be extended to us). my one and only thing that i truly want to do there is drive on the autobhon. i don't care if it's a 5 ton truck. i want to say i have done it.
