Uh...PFC Long...

[EvasiveEF9]

...United States Marine Corps.

One of your favorite OG's is officially graduated...USMC.

Graduated this morning at 1000hrs.

Just returned home.

Tell you about it when I get a chance to have the internet. Now I've gotta deal with that ***** that hit me back in November...I have to make a court appearance cuz he's trying to sue me over the accident he caused, and I was found innocent for. LoL. Dumbass move on his part...

Til I get back, though...what's been up with the crew? Post up. I'll read it tonight or tomorrow.

LOL

Welcome back man

[EvasiveEF9]

LoL, word up. Wasn't answer the phone cuz I had company with me most of the day/evening. Dinner with g-rents and cousin from Ohio, and...a butt-ton of friends that made it to my graduation. Had myself a beer and felt a minor buzz. Three months of being dry drops your tolerance like whoa. That and I didn't really hear it ring.

Keep up the work on the hatch. I don't remember what parts I have and everything in my basement and stuff has been moved around, so I'll have to go through it all...for now I'm about to hit the sack. It's nearly 12, and I was up at 330 this morning after 4.5hours of sleep...and this entire past week I've gotten no more than about 5.5hours of sleep per night, and running nonstop every day. I'm a BIT tired...

Jeff, man...the juice...is worth the squeeze, but training isn't done. I've got 4.5weeks to go in North Carolina for MCT (combat training) then 11months at MOS school in (likely) Pensacola for Aviation Mechanic. Haven't been briefed on rotory or fixed wing, yet, nor do I know where I'll be stationed. Currently, I'm working to get some recruiter's assistance...so I'll be at the RSS in about...6hours from now.

[Scotsman]

crucible FTW!

[EvasiveEF9]

Crucible for the suck...

Black flagged the whole damn time. Heat index of 115degrees. One kid from our platoon dropped and had a core temp of 109.

...I survived, though...

[Cato ED-6]

Good to hear you're back man.

[jfrolang]

Ah, basic training. The memories from that time of my life are incredibly vivid, but I don't miss it. I can definitely say it was a great experience though.

[EvasiveEF9]

Not back for long...

Yeah...training sucked until I held the EGA in hand...then it was all worth it.

[mushroom_toy]

Glad you graduated and your doing good. Hope everything goes good for ya in court, which it should.

[osnap]

proud of you, homie. so glad you're back :goodjob:

[JDMJAYDC2]

[EvasiveEF9]

Workin' on seein' everyone. Met up with my recruiter today. I'm almost certain I'll be getting recruiter's assistance to extend my time here at home and sh*t...we'll see what happens.

Real quick, off topic, before I forget...Dare, are you USAA and/or Navy Federal?

Back on track...thanks to all the welcomes. I noted alot of threads on new stuff, but haven't had a chance to go digging into who's been active. As many of you know, I sold my goods before I left. Well, I came back with a handful of cash, but instead of shopping, I'm putting alot of forth to invest and pay off loans (student loans and crap). Why? Having them paid off raises credit score...what could I POSSIBLY want that I would want to have a good credit score to go shopping for, ladies?

That's about all the hints I'm giving out with what's to come. It my not be an EF I'll be driving in...but I'll be back with the crew for the twisties. All in due time. I originally wanted to build a large truck, but man, gas prices are just stupid. Also, I'm starting up a savings account towards my dream car. I hope to pick it up (god save, I don't get someone pregnant, or have some tragedy happen) I'll be working on some large payments in about a year on a 96-99 Viper. Will I drive it? Probably not cuz of insurance, LoL. But I'd like to start putting money aside to at least work TOWARDS that goal in life. THAT car...probably won't see much of the mountains. It'll just be my little weekend pride and joy.

[osnap]

Viper? Shotgun first ride. OH, and btw - lots to update you on. :ninja:

Call me, you bish. lol.

[EvasiveEF9]

Call? The hell is that? And what's this "cell phone" everyone keeps talking about... sheesh, I guess I forgot about everything, didn't I...

:)

I'll give you a shout. I'm trying to figure out my week and crap.

First ride in that thing will be alone to the garage. You know...for some alone time with her. :jerkit: Then it'll probably be left there til I can afford insurance, LoL. We've got like 2 years before anything goes down...ish...anyways. It's a long shot...but we'll see. :)

For now I'm staying focused and shopping around at the OTHER cars that'll be sooner down the line.

[BTLFED]

Holla bish! I still owe you a beer.....and a shot. :ninja:

[EvasiveEF9]

One beer and one shot will eff me up for the night.

Fun! Let's do it!

[EvasiveEF9]

Sweet!

Curious...what can you tell me on the G35's? Neg, Pos, inbetween, little-known facts, etc... It's one that's in my lineup of cars I'm considering and looking into...

That is a long story that i don't feel like typing LOL

We will discuss it when we hang out over beer.

[EvasiveEF9]

Sweet nuts on a virgin!

Sounds good. Checked my credit score and crap...I think it may be about time for a new toy. Was going for a truck til I got off the base and saw a gas-price sign at a gas station. My jaw dropped, and I said I was gonna get a bike. No...not one with a motor. A bicycle. WTF happened!?!?

[sakasaku]

lol

[EvasiveEF9]

...what's playing in theaters anymore, even??

USAA and NFCU FTW. I do nearly all my banking through them.

Glad to hear you're doing well though man. My grandfather was a retired marine through WWII and I've heard the stories about how rigorous they were back in those days, i can only imagine what the training you've gone through is like.

It...was...a trip. Is that good enough? LoL. And I still have more to go through.

Curious, do you do any investing, or run savings accounts or anything like that? I think I'll end up with an account at both (for different reasons). USAA has the better insurance, but NFCU has better auto loan and savings rates, if I remember correctly. Gonna be looking to play with finances here before too much longer, just need to knock down some of this student loan. I've gotta get a car, but other than that, alot of my pay will be going into investing...just trying to figure out how to get the bigger bang for...well, you know the phrase.

[green91]

Ive got a savings acct and my house financed through NFCU and my truck and credit card through USAA.

[EvasiveEF9]

Checked the rates, or just went "screw it, this looks good"? LoL

Yeah, I've had my capital one for 4yrs, now. Plan to close it when I hit the 5yr mark. Gotta keep my bank of america account open for like another 4 years (sucks!) cuz I opened a credit card with them like last september. I don't like to have cards for a period of less than 3yrs, but I prefer 5. I think I read somewhere it looks better on you to do it that way as far as credit score and stuff. Obviously, this applies moreso to those that don't have alot of credit built up... This morning when I checked, I checked all three and was at like 714, 703, and 713 with the 3 unions. Not bad.

Nonetheless...had any problems with either one?

[green91]

Well i had some issues with my mortgage officer at first but i got transferred to another lady and it was smooth sailing after that. My mortgage and auto loans got the best rates i could at the time so im happy. My savings yield could be higher but its just an emergency account than anything. But my USAA credit card rate is great even though i dont use it lol.
