man do i have a story for everyone

So a few weeks ago I ordered my OME setup..I was so excited, tracked it maybe 3 times a day....it was scheduled to be delivered yesterday, I work on an army base and yesterday was our holiday bc today is the 4th...I called ups 2 times to make sure they were aware the self help auto shop on base was still was going to be open...I was told the package would be delivered. After driving for 45 mins to get to the shop and wait for ups guy I decided to track it again...it said....EXCEPTION...FEDERAL HOLIDAy will deliver next business day.....ahhh I was so pissed...called ups, was on the phone for hours back and forth...finally got a sympathetic manager, to gather up some ups guys and look in the back of a truck for my stuff, after them telling me for 3 hours that it was in a truck with 3000 other packages, they opened the truck door and there it was right on the edge....what a day and I got it all installed!!!!!

Check out vmmv.org, there is a huge private collection of tanks near Manassas that they rev up on Veterans day a run around. Extreamly cool.

Fort Belvoir is one of those garrison posts that has hardly anything there. You'd have to go to a "real" military base to find them lol...I was stationed at Fort Myer for two years.

Ft. Meyer is almost my back yard. It's good place to go bowling, not much else.
