Well we have been doing straight back, seems to be simple enough. Going to do trip planning tomorrow night. TMC DOES allow smoking in their trucks. If not, NO ONE would be working there!

Ok Fred thanx for the quick response a new question for you. Well they allow me to put a power inverter in the truck ? A Maverick recruiter told me that they would put it in for me. With a recruiter expect the worst hope for the best.

Welcome Drill. i also would like to thank you for your service to our country.
I have a son (24) just back from Iraq. He is in the Army at Fort Sill (I think) Oklahoma. For some reason he does not talk to me much after coming home :cry: I just keep praying for him. He says he is not going to re enlist so I have no Idea what he is going to do next. tootie

I hate to say this, but you are to smart to become a truck driver...the reason I say this is because you were smart emough to become a Drill rather than a Recruiter...I would LOVE to find my recruiter and put him in a ditch...jk...driving is a pretty good job for ex-military, you and the family are accustomed to you being gone (maybe not weeks as a Drill, but very long hours)...I like driving a whole lot more then NTC 4-6 times a year(and yes I did that)
Good luck, have fun and be careful out there... Rick

Hey Tootie I am glad your son made it back, for 18 years I would swear up and down that the Armed forces had the best career going for a young man. I have changed my opinion in the past couple of years. I am a Field Artillery soldier and spent 7 of my 22 years at FT Sill and just left there in August of 04. I am glad that your son is able to get out. My heart goes out to the guys that have 8 plus years and have families. They are stuck like chuck.
SGT D I just don't want to be held accountable for other peoples stupidity anymore, I just want to do what I am told and that is it. I am sure I will have to take the blame for people not scheduling me wright but when it is beyond my control I can live with that butt chewing. Oh I didn't choose to become a Drill SGT, they choose me
