Wow, Lots of hellos!! Well to sum up everyones quick responses... Good luck and stay safe to all still serving.... Thanks to all Brothers and Sisters who have served... And yes i did get my bike through AAFES and all is great, and they make everything seem so easy. Until I sit on that bike and hear the sound i wanna hear, they have made it effortless to purchase a bike. Easier than standing in a line at Walmart. I have heard horror stories from the past but it could have been the grapevine it passed through. I originally purchased one 2009 Black Denim Fatboy without security system which was the last one in that color from the military allotment. I got very lucky and couldnt sleep right for a few days because of the smile on my face. Then went back weeks later to celebrate its birth and check on it. The bike was alive. Then found out someone had special ordered it and released it which is why no security system. The Rep told me someone had just released another with security system so i traded up. Now i was even happier. Just saved on install at home. Also had already gotten extended warranty, and i got the wheel and tire warranty also for 5 years. Then few days later changed my delivery location. All this without lifting a finger and no questions asked, with emails the very next day telling me all is good. And they gave me another Harley Iraq t-shirt again, LOL But anyways, so far so good and never had to worry. By the way, if by chance, knock on wood, something would fall through, the first day home im finding this bike in a dealer and buying it that day. And to not offend anyone, i will kiss the wife first before i go for the bike. LOL Stay and Ride Safe...

You deserve that bike. Ride and enjoy. I retired from 20 in corrections (level 3 and 4 state prison) and I'm enjoying mine. You only live once, or maybe twice, who knows.
