David,

The military has a sick sense of humor. I was on orders to go back to Fort Rucker, AL for the past six months... a year in progress with my branch manager, then a sh!t storm hit and they told me I had a choice been hell and a hard place so I worked a drug deal to go to AK... the "best" solution to the problem.

I am still in the Army though... I am supposed to be the S2 for my battalion i.e. Intel officer... top secret here I come (the average soldier has a secret at best clearance)

I will take pics from the ground and the air.

I will also have my boat to do some halibut fishing from. lastly I have been told do NOT travel without a gun in the car.

I am buying a Magnum Research Desert Eagle .50 Caliber for protection.

I just hope the Army can ship my car without damaging it!!!
