Started Reading your" Money Pit" Post a few hours ago. WOW! You got it going on! Can't wait for the final results. I started my dads 70" K-10 LWB frame off a month or so ago. I will figure out how to post pics someday.

msgross · 03-25-2011, 07:06 PM

thanks, very busy guy here... I still buy some parts here and there but no time to get in the garage right now. I'll get back to it someday, it's not going anywhere and it's paid for..

my4by2 · 03-25-2011, 09:48 PM

Great build thread man! Keep the pics coming! Thanks also for your service to the country!!! I got out in 2000, but am over in Afghanistan now working as a contractor!

thanks for your service as well... old lady and I are getting ready to hit the military ball, 3rd one this month... here's pics from the last one.

silver7 · 03-26-2011, 07:34 PM

Nice photo. Brings back some old memories working with the RAVN as BDE Air back at Bragg - good times. Haven't been on much lately but I see you got your MBA, congrats.

68 TT · 03-26-2011, 11:26 PM

Great project. Keep up the great work. I can't believe I haven't seen it before now.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifices to continue to do so.

I got off active duty just before desert storm and put myself through college to get my architecture degree then started working for the air national guard after I graduated. Got medically disqualified six years ago due to knee problems. I miss the job but not the time away from the family.

Hope they start paying you for the work you are doing soon. So is the promotion official now or do you still have to wait for an opening before they can let you advance to major?

msgross · 03-27-2011, 07:51 AM

still waiting for the opening in the rank structure to occur... i'm now 3rd on the list and HRO told me no later than October.... That will be a year and a half of working 1 rank lower than my job, plus pay, plus time in grade for the next promotion... It's not a good system but that's the way it goes. There are other guys that are doing the same and not even on the list.

thanks, been on hold for awhile...sorry

I should be back to it next winter after my other projects are wrapped up... plus I'll be promoted by then and the extra pay will help

msgross · 05-04-2011, 09:21 PM

Here's what's been taking up my time.... working on the basement mancave for now

The mancave looks nice. I like how you mounted the surround sound speakers. It should sound nice. So when's the first

thanks. got the speakers from this website www.monoprice.com If you ever need anything for home theatre you should check here first... including HDMI cables, flat panel mounts, and these in-wall speakers... they sound nice and were 1/3 the price of comparable models...

msgross · 06-11-2011, 11:02 PM

well, I finally got the letter i've been waiting for... my promotion voucher finally came in. Only took 14 months longer than it should have. I should be a Major in about 30 days... I'll be starting up my body work fund so I can get this beast together and get it painted... still will take awhile...

Here is a link to my mission at work yesterday... flew 6.2 hours hauling infantry troops, back thru washington DC @ 200ft... not a bad day in the office.

Congrats on the promotion. Just in case nobody told you; Major is the worst rank in the Army.

**Palf70Step** · 06-12-2011, 07:26 AM

Congrats Major!!

yep, the "gold rank lobotomy" is what I call it... 2LT's and MAJ's always seem to be morons... I'll break that mold of course!

thanks guys

just hit my 18th year in the Army too, @ 36 years old i've spent half my life with Uncle Sam... 6 more for a full Active Duty retirement, not bad
