Red, YEP, that would be just a LITTLE before me!!! My dad wasn't even graduated from high school quite yet.

Mid-90s. But old school. I was in the old WWII barracks on North Ft Lewis for some time before getting rolled over to main base by the air strip.
They were condemned due to asbestos. To make it safe for us, they just painted over the condemned signs.

Lol, safety first.
It didn't. We made the deal and I didn't make it 10 miles down the road. Truck had a major electrical drain that completely killed it.
No way was I getting it home at 9pm with 150 mi to go.
Ended up picking up the black 99' I mentioned before.
Thing needs a DEEP clean. It's not grungy just hasn't been taken care of like it should have IMO.
It's got more dings and scratches than I wanted on the body but that's fixable. I was more worried about it being mechanically solid.

i did almost a year at Drum in 07.... you haven't felt cold unless you've been there. i remember we beat (if you can call it that) wainright out for both coldest average and snowfall.
yep. been told that by a few friends stationed there. I never had the "opportunity" to be a part of the glorious 10th MTN Div. I did support 3rd BDE 10TH MTN for my 3rd Rotation to Iraq. Was pinned my SGT striped by their BDE Commander. That was actually the 07-08 rotation to Kirkuk. COL Paschal.

Love Kalispell. Lived there for 3 years before moving to T. Falls when we first moved out of Alaska. Think I was around 5 years old. Still remember my address.....
44 West Evergreen.
reminds me of a quote from one of the guys i work with:
"it's just a matter of time and money, and we have neither. so don't sweat it."
LMAO. Basically. Plus for now the 4Runner makes a very nice ornament in my front yard until I get it titled and licensed in my name. (waiting to get paid).
In the meantime, theres a few little things I can get accomplished. Have to reset the passenger side window regulator (goes up then immediately comes back down partway), have to replace the garnish on the tailgate, and he needs a bath. I started scrubbing the wheels the other day, but that proved a lesson in futility until I can get much better stuff.
