Operation Enduring Realness III (OER III) Aug 6-8, 2010

Unfortunately, I'm probably not going to be able to make this anymore.

As of today, I found out I'm leaving for boot camp on the 24th. So, I've got a month to get prepared, and on top of all the scheduling issues that go along with that I simply don't think I'm going to have time to get the Jeep ready.

I'll see what I can do, but even if by some small miracle I find a way to make it there I won't be wheeling the Jeep.

I'm not going to bitch because I got the job I wanted, But one month from contract signing to ship date, is almost unheard of in the Navy right now. I know kids going through the same recruiter, that signed contracts weeks ago and aren't shipping until fucking MARCH.

Just my luck.

Just in case anyone needed ideas for Care PAckage items to bring:

Carepackage Suggestion List. courtesy of Nica
Everyone please donate 3-5 dollars with your care package addition, it is to cover flat rate shipping overseas as it is not cheap to send all this. this was a major complication last year we didnt account for. thank you!
This ALL will be collected the run weekend.
