How's it going guys?

Well...I'm back over here in Bahrain off the coast of Saudi for the next 8 months. The heat is freaking crazy out here. High was 120 with 140 heat index and it's not even close to the hot months yet. Anyhow..the sand is what is really pissing me off as I run the armory and that shit gets in my machine guns on the daily. Recently got Small Arms Instructor qualified and ran my first gun shoot last week. Pretty stocked about passing that class as it has a 1/3 failure rate average. But..making some good money out here so planning on a black whipple, headers, mid, fuel system upgrade, clutch and gauges when I get back. My 2.2 KB will be up for sale and thinking 2 grand if anyone wants it. Anyhow..hope all is well with you all and keep in touch.-Shane

Hey Shane! Been a while. Hope your time there goes fast. How much longer do you have before you can move back to SC?

Uhm..not real sure but hoping about a year and half Morey. Hard to believe its been this long since I left as it is. Def cant wait to get back! There are three tracks here and they are all 1/4 but 2 hours minimum in three different directions. So the Cobra doesnt see much track time. We have this causeway close thats a few miles long and straight and usually very little traffic. Sorta hard to come to a complete stop but we do sometimes. Wopped the shit out of this Supra that was suppose to be the shit but then had my ass handed to me by a Z06. I got his card though and paybacks a bitch. Later man-Shane

I was in Bahrain last year, I stayed right out side of the base, I remember Thursday nights you would have all the Oil tycoons sons out there on the strip with there Masaratii's and Lamberginii's, was a crazy ass place. I hope to go back for a couple more months, the money was GREAT and the work wasn't to bad.

Take care Shane. Glad to hear all is well. Thank you for your service.

Shane, I definitely would like to thank you for your sacrifice and service to our country.

Shane361 · 06-06-2008, 03:49 AM

Thanks guys and your welcome. Good to hear from you all

Yeah the scene rite outside the gate is crazy and attracts alot of Saudis. MY throat is killing my rite now cause I went out drinking and smoking on the sheisha pipe. I'll never smoke that shit again cause my virgin throat aint down with the smoke! But dayum its great when doing the grape or apple! If you come over here Dave let me know and we'll hook up for some grub and beers-Shane

I am pretty sure I will be in Doha around the first couple months next year, but I know that is a crazy drive from Bahrain to Doha, if they only had a bridge on the south of Bahrain it wouldn't be that bad. Yeah, there's nothing in the works right now for another trip back to Bahrain anytime soon, so I'm going to need you to just pick me up some Gold from the Suk, K, thanks

, oh and go have some fun at F1 for me
