New M35A2 owner here from Virginia

[VMI_Keydet_2010]

Greetings everyone,

Let me start by saying that this is a great site. I have been coming here for some time just to read posts and learn as much as I can and back in September of this year I finally took the plunge and bought my first MV, an M35A2. My EUC was just recently approved ( I might point out, 62 days later), thus I haven't even picked the vehicle up yet, but I'm heading up on the 22nd of this month and I am definitely very excited.

To say a little about myself, I am currently a Senior at the Virginia Military Institute majoring in Mechanical Engineering. When I graduate (hopefully) at the end of this year I will be commissioned with the United States Navy and in a couple of years (hopefully) have my office in the pilot's seat of an SH-60 Sea Hawk.

I have always had a fascination with military hardware, especially MVs, and am greatly looking forward to begging this thrilling hobby.

Welcome to SteelSoldiers. Where are you picking your M35A2 up from? I just picked mine up from Richmond and got it home to Hampton, VA.
Former navy here, nuke submariner, good luck with your flight training.

To be honest, I was starting to lose hope too but two months of diligent email checking and calling to see what the hold up was finally payed off.

Its coming from the Mechanicsburg Penn. DRMO site. Sure could have used 6X6 trying to drive home in the Snowy parking lot that was I-81 last night.

Thanks for the offer! I'm sure I'll have it stuck up in the mountains before too long and likewise if you ever need a wenching I'll see if I can talk the Commandant into letting me help out a fellow MV enthusiast.

Haha. Don't worry, if I can convince the Navy to start letting Pilot's give rides again, you guys will be the first to know.

Welcome!

Check out my post about HELP!! I'm just up the road and over the mountain from you. I was doing great yesterday until I slid off the road on a corner!!

I've got lots of free time right now. I can go with you to recover your truck, if you like.
