lol, hey all, just introducin myself here... first wanna say thanks to everyone for all the info i've gotten from this awesome Raptor Forum over the last several months. I just got home on R&R from Afghanistan so thats why i couldnt register sooner, all the internet network settings wouldn't allow me to. But ya, finally I'm happy to be able to post and get to know some of you.

Lets see, about me, I'm from Detroit, born and raised a die-hard Ford man. Been in the Army 5 years now, i should be PCSing as soon as i get back from this deployment and trying my hardest to get either Buckley AFB or Fort Carson, so once i get rooted back in the states i should be in the Denver or Colorado Springs area :D ....

Grew up always wantin a Lightning, instead had a ton of Mustang's lol. Told myself once i actually got a family, thats when I'd get my dream truck as the car would be impractical. When the Raptor first came out, I almost had to scratch that itch and just buy it, but i came down on orders to deploy and I didnt want a 900$ payment on a vehicle i couldnt drive... 2010 i was too busy PCSing around and getting married... then for 2011 the same damn thing happened as in 2009, i came down on orders for another deployment... But this time ive decided to be proactive and find out when and what is goin on with the 2012. Talked to the wife, not only will she allow me to get it, but shes beggin me to, lol.

So basically, my Lightning dream has turned into a Raptor addiction and I wouldnt have it any other way! I hope that hits all the necesary points expected for an introduction, hope to get to know some of you all!

Ooh well gratz man, im happy for ya, hope your deployment is fast and smooth, just keep your eye on the prize ;)
I'm gonna play around in the Rockies with mine, but ya, I'm sure no matter where you PCS you'll find it enjoyable with the truck! Take care bro =)

Oh, how did you get that nifty lil "FRF Military" sticker there? Never noticed those things til now, lol.

Nice, I can't imagine how fun that Raptor'll be in Drum's famous 2 foot overnight snowfalls :D you'll definately have a blast there! Wish there were some decently close Active Duty bases to Detroit :( Campbell is an 8 hour drive... but oh well, i'll take the rockies :)
