I would just save up and buy **** when you get back since its just going to sit. You should re-enlist over there get that re-up bonus tax free plus the hazardous pay over there you will bank some mad money.

best advice I can think of. I have seen a few guys come back from overseas and new parts are missing off their cars ( friend of mine left his truck in San Diego while he was on a med cruise, and came back to a stripped truck and it was on base)

Yes I have heard of that too, I would put the car in a garage of a family members. Or definatly keep full coverage on it if your storing it with the army they will cover cost and so will your insurance so You might make out good if **** gets stolen but definatly not something I would want. I know when we had our last deployment here they all stored thier cars in a big lot with a chain link fence around it on post. There is an armed guard at the entrance but I guaruntee the guy on mid-night shift sleeps there.

Well Its stored in my garage back home, i didnt put it on the road bc i would have only been able to drive it for a month so im saved my money up, and I'm working the suspension first, full tubular front end and rear end then im going to put the hood and spoiler on and thats all for exterior, then performance, im not going to drive this till this is all done and over with, if i have enough money left over im going to take the car to the local turbo shop which has done work and many fbodies/y-bodies. They made a twin turbo LS1 make 1008hp its scary as hell, but thats going to be the last thing i worry about.
