[RAWDOG]

here is my boy brian and his wife. he is a member here and races a busa! he spent time over there!!

Actually not to hate but Brian was never over in the desert! He was on recruting duty! I know him and when I was a Marine we rode together even in the same clubs!

Who is this?

I am thinking that maybe schrader13 can bring some light to this topic.  I am thinking that somewhere a wire is crossed.

[schrader13]

I have to say this even though everyone here already knows it.  Guy you are the greatest.  I don't have anyone to nominate but just wanted to thank you Guy for this awesome contest to celebrate or troops.  I also want to thank all of you who serve and have served.  You are true heroes.

I would like to nominate, Sgtbusa, (Tim) for this contest. Tim is deployed to Iraq, again. This is his third deployment in as many years to help out with the cause.  Right before he deployed he traded his 2006 GSXR600 for a 2005 Busa, I know he would love to be able to mod that new bike up. And to be able to install parts from Tiger Racing (Guy) would be awesome.  He would like to start drag racing his Busa when he gets back. We are not sure when he will be back this time again; they told him any where from 6 months to 1 year.  It has to be hard stationed over there and not be able to see your wife and two sons. His oldest son is 3 years old and his youngest is 10 months old.  His first deployment he missed out watching his first son go up thru his first year as he left when his son was only a couple months old. That has to be hard for anybody, when you come back your son is walking and doesn't even know who you are, because you haven’t been there.   I know his wife went thru a lot, because they were only in their house 1 week before his first deployment. After Tim left she had issues with different things around the house, my wife and I tried to help as much as possible. Hoping Tim wouldn’t think too much about what was going on here, knowing we were helping his family.  But you know he was still thinking about his family. 
   
Here are a few pics that he sent me from his current deployment in Iraq. I will mod this post to add additional photos as he sends them to me. 
 
Thanks again Guy for being there for our military troops. You are always thinking of ways to support the members of www.suzukihayabusa.org






































Here is a little video clip of Sgtbusa (Tim).




Here are a couple of pics of my son working on Sgtbusa (Tim) Bike for him while he is Iraq. Tim ordered some parts for his bike, and my son wanted to put them on for him. A little surprise for him.

Wow Dave that really means a lot to me. Yes it has been hard but thanks to all that your family has done for us I don’t know how i could have done it without you all helping out. And to say that you guys helped out as much as you could, you all did above and beyond what’s asked of a neighbor. I call you my family as that is what the Franklins are to me...my family. Big thanks to Tiger Racing(Guy) and what he is doing for us military folks, but a lot of credit is passed over for the families back at home who have to take on all there responsibilities and now have to take on all over there spouses too. To all the soldiers out keep on keeping on. It’s not always easy to be away from your family, but I try to remember that while im here im preventing anything bad happing to my family and friends back there. And if that means hard times for me then I will take it off the cheek and keep moving on. Thanks again Dave and Guy for this.

Keep those cards and letters pouring in folks.  The pics are great and we want to give away a lot of T-Shirts so keep em coming.

No thanks necessary for Tiger Racing, our military is all that's important right now.  Until you all come home.

Everyone should be forwarding this thread address to everyone they know on the board and on any other boards.

back in 2005 i went down town once and out of nowhere this all black busa came by us i bet doing every bit of 170 mph. scared the shit out of me never saw him coming. about a mile before that 3 baby camels crossed the road in front of us and i thought we were going to die.

[2fast4u2c]

How about some more pictures folks, I know we have more military on this board.  We want to honor as many as we can so please help us and nominate, nominate, nominate.

I wish there were an easier way to post pics.  I hate having to go through Photobucket.

[2fast4u2c]

My wife loves these pics.  She too was honor guard, chrome helmet and twirling rifles and all.  Of course she also loves USAF because she is a SMSgt now (1st shirt) at the 180th here in Toledo.

Here are a couple of pics of my wife when she won the NCO of the year 2 years ago when she was only a MSGt.


But first, our honor guard at the 180th.



Now my darling wife.



with the 2 other winners, Jr. NCO and officer of the year.

OUTSTANDING!!!  My dad retired from the Air Force as a MSGT (what is that, E7?)  He has three sons, all of whom joined the Army.  Both my younger brother and I are Iraq War Vets.

[SPARKY1397R]

MSgt = e7

cool pics guy!   i have found honor guard to be one of the most rewarding things(emotionally) you can do stateside.   we also have a picture in our building of the uniform you're talking about,  chrome helmets, rifle team, and they also did the bloused boots.  very sharp look 

[Sgtbusa]

Yea I am trying to go into MTI duty, but haven’t decided. I need to do a special duty so when I get up to E-8 I will not be over looked so fast. Hey Sparky what base you at? Im over in lovely McGuire. Good job on the Honor Guard, it is very rewarding, I have a couple of my troops (Airmen) over in it now. Nice Guy, I didn’t know you where a dependent WOW nice NCO of the year, im trying to put together a package now, but kind of tuff over here. But I will have some nice bullets when I leave here.

[2fast4u2c]

As long as those bullets aren't from your hide.

[rlbowers3]

My father SWEARS that Air Force MSGT is equivelant to a Navy CPT or an Army MAJ   

And he really believes that Gods signature block reads USAF (RET)

[2fast4u2c]

Your father is mistaken between an E-8 and an O-8

[Sgtbusa]

  Yea guy I will make sure its not those  Yea he has them twisted, quick break down:
E1-- Airman basic                            O1-- 2nd Lt
E2-- Airmen                                    O2-- 1st Lt
E3-- Airman first class                       O3-- Captain
E4-- Senior Airmen                          O4-- Major
E5-- Staff Sgt                                 O5-- Lt Colonel
E6-- Tech Sgt                                 O6-- Colonel
E7-- Master Sgt                               O7-- Brigadier General
E8-- Senior Master Sgt                     O8-- Major General
E9-- Cheif Master Sgt                       O9-- Lt General
                                                    O10-- General

There is the Non-Commisiond and the Commisioned ranks....sadly they dont compare...E's are the worker bee's and the O's make that back office decisions. Well at least until you make SNCO (E7-E-9) they do alot of back office as well. And yes one day my sig will read USAF(Ret) too 

[rlbowers3]

   I was being facetious   

Dad retired MSGT radio operator in the old Pre-AWACS.  He is now a Dentist in Cal State Prisons.  He has two RET Navy CAPTs that work for him as well as one RET Army dentist that was a MAJ.  He keeps goading them to have a wear-your-uniform-to-work day
