oke: that statement is so wrong, its not funny. dont worry, i made the same exact comment to him, when he went over.
my brother is there right now, in the army, and in one year, put 19,000 miles on his car. yes, on that stupid 25 mile island. it blew my mind. i made him send me a pic of the odometer of his car, i thought he was so full of chit.
he explained it to me like this.
me personally, i live in the country. not in town. so i drive 10 miles to town, lets say 2-3 miles around town, and 10 home.
total of around 22-25 miles. daily.
on the island, you drive 11 miles across it to og to the beach, 16 miles back to go to the store, 8 miles this way to get gas, 3 miles over here to get some food, and its only lunch time. ANYHING you want to do,
regardless of what it is, is no closer than 5 miles from where you currently are. how many things do you do in a day?
just sayin.
