the longest wait.. shall be worth it

well guys. my hopes and dreams of owning a zx-14 are going to have to be put off for a little while. cause a certain country needs me, and that certain country happens to be the greatest one on earth. shall be shipping out for fort benning in september for boot camp in the army. i have enlisted in airborne. hope to have a chance to volunteer for ranger training. so no point in getting another bike for now. will be nowhere to keep it. so maybe ill pick up an 07 model, or have the possibility of getting a leftover 06 model for a sweet low price. i look forward to how much info i have to catch up on when i come back. i know i havent been of much help for anyone here, or even recognized as a member really, but i have been keeping up with this forum for months now. i respect the old saying, " you have 2 ears and one mouth for a reason." also, being a mere 20 years old. im probably the youngest member, and therefore have much to learn. you guys have come thus far in such short amount of time. i can only imagine how far you guys will be this time next year. LONG LIVE WWW.ZX-14.COM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're brainwashed and delerious, but that's ok. You will push a floor buffer for a while, and wonder why in the hell you're out in the middle of a shitty desert for the next 4 years. Been there, done that, killed a few ragheads in Iraq and a few mexicans during BP missions, now DAV with artifical knee joints.

Best of luck,

JC

Be smart, be safe, and listen to your instincts.
The gut feeling, little voice inside, hair on the back of your neck... its usually right!

Use adrenaline to your advantage. Your reactions, senses and mind work much faster when it starts to pump. Keep your head on though.

When the gunfire erupts, and you have them in the crosshairs, do not hesitate.

Find a good friend who will have your back while you have his.

Best of luck.

Former Navy, Panama/Middle East(the Gulf war). Good luck! and God Bless! I hope you get out of it what you are looking for, don't listen to sceptics.
Remember, Heros don't kill the most, they save the most fellow soldiers. Watch out for your mates, and they'll watch out for you. Keep your fight in front of you, and watch out for those shitty sand spiders. Go buy a GOOD knife, and always keep it with you. When your older and cutting open boxes with it, you'll remember the times it saved your life. Trust me!

Good luck HS. Dont let the TI's get to you its all a mind game. Some tips for you blend in with everyone else dont be the one to make the first mistake the TI's will be all over you. Good luck again. Take a set of flip flops, nail clipers a bottle of rubbing alcohol and liquid soap. When you get there then you'll realize what all that is for.

You be safe bro.

Don't know what Ojref's background is or where he is coming from but my oldest son is a Marine (machine gunner and sharp shooter) previously deployed in Afghanistan and deploying to Iraq on his second mission and it hasn't been sunshine and lollipops.

Just be safe and listen to your IED training and according to my boy, never, ever even for a second let your guard down.
