After 5 years in the Navy me and family made the switched and back in Texas! starting all over with no friends and family but am getting full custody of my son from previous choices and me and my current family reunited. I am on terminal leave and already scored a job being a marine diesel mechanic. Already working on rebuilding a Detroit 12v71 and cats ranging from c1.5 up to c32. No truck yet but once finances get settle I will get one and will post! If anyone wants to see pictures of old detroits and cats new and old in different boats let me know thanks ya'll!

Thank you for your service. I'm guessing your Ford Powerstroke fan?

Yes sir. I actually like all 3 trucks and the engines they all came with it including the detroits because of passion really But owning and operating and paying for it everyday ford and powerstrokes/Pre powerstrokes are in my favor.

I'm currently working in Galveston at Pier77 yacht repair and living in Texas city. Hopefully when my apartment lease is up I can change all that and live more in the country

Well there's a Plant for BASF over there by you but the Freeport site is a beast.

It's nice to know people are near by. Me and my wife with two kids have barely reach 25 years in age so we are adjusting to people who are like us are older. So far we are friendless haha

Whole new generation. The days of grilling and relaxing at people places and having good old fun just doesn't seem to be practical anymore
