been gone a while/new start in life

[slim_chance]

Life has been hectic for a while for me so I havent been on here as much as I like too. So whats going on with me?
Well as of May 8 2013 I officially retired frome the U.S. Army. I was medically retired for ptsd. Now I am back in s.c. starting my new life. Or should I say what is old is new life. Lol. Now I'm on the job market but happy I dont have to deploy a third time.
It looks like I will be helping out a buddy with a very large project of remodeling an old textile mill to a performance car shop and museum . Pics comming asap.
Well wish me luck with my new life.

"Bonne chance" as they say here... sounds like an awesome remodeling project. Looking forward to seeing the pictures!

Good luck on the new ventures. Don't be shy about talking to others about PTSD, you have lots of support, and thank you for your service

Sounds like a nice project you've got yourself involved in, should keep you busy for awhile! Look forward to seeing pics as well

Enjoy getting back into some normalcy

First off, Thanks for your service from a fellow veteran; Welcome back and hang in there. I have some friends too that are suffering from this as well and it can be a challenge. Hopefully you have a good VA facility near you for when you need it.

Good luck, Jeff

PTSD sucks, but you are strong and you will get better and better over time! Thank you so much for your service! You have a great new life and remember, vintage RC cars relieve stress!

Thanks guys. I look forward to this new start. I also might be picking up a personal project from the guy I will be helping. A 1987 Chrysler Conquest. Basically a Mitsubishi Starion.

i remember the conquest & starion... those would be a FUN little rig with something like an ls1 in them.

Actually im planning on keeping it a turbo 4 banger. But im looking for a 4g63 or 64 engine for it. I can easily put down 300+ hp with one of those and the car weighs under 3000 lbs. I normally dont go for 4 banger imports but something about this car has really caught my attention. Maybe just memories of cannonball run. Lol

the jackie chan high tech car? i aint seen that movie in ages.

i was thinking the more tough looking version with the wide fender look. cool cars for sure.

[civilguy]

That was Cannonball 2, right? I thought Jackie had a Subaru in the first one. Either way, cool project car.

Thank you for your service & welcome back!

BTW I am not the movie police... just a big fan of the original Cannonball. That and Stripes were very influential (read: boobs) in my pre-teens.

[slim_chance]

Yeah it was cannonball run 2. They had the narrow body version. The one im looking at is the widebody.

Awesome, I always loved those cars... they always look good to me.

Looking forward to some pics!
