Our Wing Commander at Kunsan Air Base Korea back in 2001 was a "Breedlove".

He went on to have a "semi-successful" career after that (promoted to 4 star in 2011).

Nice! I met a few 4 stars in my career. Thought it amazing to do 40 yrs in the military. I only met one Breedlove in the Navy though, good guy too! I think he’s not far behind me for retirement.

I am going against the grain here folks. It took my truck 11 weeks to be built; Dec 18 order. That was after I cancelled and changed an order from 5 weeks before that. I cancelled and changed because some options at the time of my Nov 11 order were unavailable. I reordered when they became available; and THEN for 11 weeks I fretted being called and being told that they were unavailable again. 11 long weeks all the way until I was informed my truck hit D1, and then framing, then assembly line, and finally an EL and window sticker populated on either sides of a weekend. YES! my truck exists.

That was a couple weeks ago now. I've been waiting on shipping since. But I tell ya, opposite of what a lot of guys say, this part of the wait is easier for me. I even understand there is a recall now (Z20)? But whatever, at least I know my truck is built. Yea, for sure, it will really suck if I get news about lost key fobs, or vandalism or whatever. I work in the shipping industry. I witness and expect delays as the norm. I was really hoping to have my truck by early April for a camping trip and use it to haul our camper provided I got 500 miles of break-in on the engine and trans before hauling as per the manual. But seriously, as long as MD honors the agreed price, which I am reading here they do, I'll get my truck when I get my truck. I really do hope it is sooner than later, don't get me wrong. And call me patient or too-calm or whatever, but for me the worst part of waiting was making sure that everything actually got built with all the parts considering the economy and market we are all facing and mostly while watching heavier optioned trucks get built in 1/3rd the time as mine. THAT, my friends, was frustrating

So, now my caveat here, is that the shipping was supposed to take place today 3-22, waiting on a rail assignment. I'm supposed to check in with Renae today and I'm sure that if I hear it'll be another month just sitting in Saltillo I'll start to get antsy and this will become a harder part of the wait. haha.

Yep, different strokes . . .

A buddy I commissioned with in '96 is still hanging in there (and he had 11 years of prior enlisted service before that). Nearly 37 years is a long time in the military. I was itching to go at 20 (and did).

Let me know if you have luck…I’ve been a member of Navy Fed for 20 years, just haven’t used them at all really in that span since shifting to BoA Military then to USAA.

We use them but got that same rate. Picked the check up the other day.
 
Just found out from my dealer that my truck has decided to take the boat to Baltimore. Anyone have any idea how to find the vessel and track it? It left from Port Altimira on 4/1 at 8 pm.

Yep, worked for him a bit as COMUSAFE-AFAFRICA until he went on as the EUCOM CC.

I wanted to do 30, but I wasn’t willing to change my character for the political role. I guess character isn’t the right word for it. I just felt that in order to move to the upper echelons, you have to learn to mind your Ps & Qs, learn not to have an opinion, never take sides, and follow what the triad puts out no matter how wrong it may be. Guess that’s why my COs liked me so much towards the end of my career, I’d tell them what the crew was thinking and not hold back.

Brother! You’re kidding me! You’ve had to wait this long, and they put you on a boat!

I’m going to see what happens. I know the 25 day clock starts essentially the day your vic shows up at the dealer. So, until I hear from Aaron, I’ll be diagnosing the boat. Not great news from a lot of couch mechs who point to some form of catastrophic engine failure on a new engine…yes, it’s SBT (at least there’s a no finger pointing warranty). Funny thing is we had someone hit us up as we arrived at Ft Blanding ready to buy it.

2500 mega cab limited 6.4 ordered 2/8. Ram chat say it had shipped with estimated dealer arrival 4/18 to 5/3. They are unable to provide me some sort of tracking. Is there a way to look up train tracking number. Truck is shipping to Southern CA

Your dealer should have tracking information.
