Default Coming back to Florida!!2 weeks

Hey everyone. Im heading back to Florida here shortly. Panhandle area. Navarre, just east of PCOLA.

Im getting out of the Army. Well technically Im out right now(terminal leave). Just have to turn in gear and final out of base housing. Heading back to Florida to go to school. Use my GI Bill.

Ride a 2007 VB Street Glide. Black accents, stretched bags,extended side covers. Possibly riding from SC-FL. About 550 miles. Just have to get my new tires put on.

Love to meet up with some folks and ride.

Also If anyone knows a good painter/body shop in NWFL that would help. Need bags/lids/side covers painted. Also just a few minor issues on bags.

Justin

Thanks guys! I did 9 years Active Army. Two tours to Iraq with 25thID. Pay is good and benefits are great but lifestyle sucks. And the way the Army is making all these drastic changes is pathetic. Dont want any part of it.

I should be in Florida the 6th of Sept. Have a few things to take care of here and then get back to Florida.

Only 27yo but Im use to hanging out with the old riders. Most the riders I ride with now are 50+.

Thanks again and ride safe. Hope to get some riding in with the Florida Crew.

LOL, I just read some post and it kind of gave it away. Poorboy had a little to do with it.

Ill be going to school out in PCOLA but hopefully transferring to UF for my Masters. I think there is a UF campus in my area. Ill have to check.

I can't wait to get back. Hopefully I can get a lot of riding done.

lmao....

Welcome home soon, and I'd also like to thank you for your time and service.

My son had also wanted to make a career out of the Army at 19. After 2 tours and 4 years in the zone, he decided not to re-up as well. He did some time in the Reserves back home here and turns 28 today. Although he didn't want to make a career of War, he now misses those times and now and then wishes he was back there. He doesn't ride these days, but may be good for you two to meet up sometime.

Welcome to the Crew.. lookin forward to buyin ya a cold one back here in Florida..
