New Expedition owner in Ft. Bragg, NC

[Nokturnal]

Hi, my name is Justin. Born and raised in Modesto, California, lived in Mountainburg/Alma, Arkansas for a while, spent some time in Fort Benning, Georgia, currently in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and in another month or so I'll be somewhere else, not sure where yet though. I've been to Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Alabama, South Carolina, and Hawaii. Eventually I want to have all fifty states on that list as well as some select countries. I like riding ATV and dirtbikes, working with anything with a motor, electronics and computers, most outdoor activities, jumping out of planes, and whatever else happens to strike me as fun at the time. Hoping to get into some kind of college program soon to start working on a degree in psychology.

Well I guess that about covers it

How you liking VA? I hear it's pretty nice. It's not too bad here, actually reminds me of just a little north of where I grew up in California. A lot better than Ft. Benning, GA I'll tell you that much! That place is a haven for every creature that could ever bite, sting, kill you, or make you itch it seems like, haha.

Knees in the breeze baby

or my favorite, "Jump out or get thrown out, no matter what you're gonna be out of this plane before it lands", haha. I actually love the airborne stuff, couldn't wait to come flying out of that door for the first time when I was at Airborne School. Yea I'm looking forward to getting out of country, even if it is for a deployment. I've never stepped foot off American soil. Yea I've always been big into offroading. My plans for this truck are a little more "street" (24's and things of that nature), but they will be wrapped in some mud terrains for light trails and stuff. I just enjoy driving through forests and things like that, it's humbling and fun at the same time. I used to be into the hardcore offroading scene but you break too much doing that, get's way too expensive way too quick, I stick to my baby trails now

welcome. trust me, you'll get your chance to head overseas, we all do. gettin ready for afghan next year. might as well be a vet of 2 foreign wars! hahah. there is lots of good places to mud in NC, at least near camp lejeune when i was there. (mostly tank trails though so better ask permission!)

Yea I do just about everything so it'd be a good place for me =]

I'm hoping I can find someplace around here that has concerts on the weekends, like local bands and stuff. I'm really into the indie rock scene. How was Afghanistan?

[GAINMOB]

[nvycrmn]

Im more of a "5 jump chump/dope on a rope" (army humor lol!) but im proud as hell, and dont worry youll get your 30 rounds in trust me i did the invasion in 03, baghdad in 05, and eastern afghan in 07, usually on the tank trails all you need is a range pass that you get from range control, trust me there a bunch of cool retirees just watch the tank ruts. And i got my off roading in with my humvee and bradley good times by all with my saying "if you winch yourself out you never got stuck..... Right?" there are plenty of street machines on this site so if you have any ideas or questions throw them out there somebody will bite, or if you need how to's this is the best place that ive found
