As soon as I win the lottery, I can start putting these into action lol.
This is pretty much how most of us feel with a new project!
After I got out I took all of my money I had saved up and flew back for a month doing whatever I wanted and seeing all the sights I couldn't see due to deployments. Coolest thing I've ever done.
Very cool and also quite jealous of this! I've
been to Japan a few times and enjoyed every second of it. There are a few members here who have spent some time over there and I always enjoy listening to their experiences. I've met one too many guys who either stationed there of even lived there and yet never took the time to learn the language and appreciate the culture. Everyone's situation is different and while most of these guys I've met were there for work/because they had to be, any disinterest to some degree is understandable, but its nice to meet those who were either more open minded or had some interest in the community like yourself.
All the same, beings my love for Japan stems from my love for cars, I ask myself what I would be like if I was stationed or had to move to a country I wasn't already curious about? There are so many reasons why I respect our military personnel stationed over seas and away from their homes!
Thanks again for all the help and knowledge your sending my way
You bet man! Now let's see some pics of your 4Runner!!
