Uncle Larry has it right on the storage. Had to store mine for an extended period that way and it fired up and ran just fine. Like so many have said, stay safe over there.

Some advise from John Wayne: "when you're in a gun fight, keep your butt down! There's always some joker with just enough of a sense of humor that they'll put some buckshot it it!"

Stay safe, and thanks for your service!

As much as I cringe at 'MeToo' responses, let me also wish you a safe and quick deployment, and a heartfelt thank you for your service
And as far as the storage goes, again 'me too' says don't have it started while your gone. Just unhook the battery and throw a sheet over her, she'll be fine.
Keep us informed while you're over there. I hear Uncle Sam gives the troops access to the World Wide Inter web over there, it being World Wide and all!
Let us hear from you.

Stay safe!!!
Change oil and fill tank to the brim. Battery maintainer (4 stage) and you'll be fine.
