Hey dude, I just got an idea. Have you ever spoken or corresponded through email with Dan Paramore?
When I was over there, I emailed him about a set of heads that he did for some guy that I was trying to buy them from. He saved me from making a big mistake and ever since then, he has been trying to get me to help him out.
He's trying to 'break in' to the R&R 'market'. He wanted me to help him set up a booth in order to show movies and give tuning seminars to the service members over there.
I thought it was a great idea and he assured me that he'd really take care of me if we were successful. Unfortunately, the contacts that I had weren't able to help me at all.
Know anyone who knows someone in the R&R program or in the MWR program or the USO?

I just had a conversation with one of the KBR MWR reps at the DFAC the other day. I forgot his name, but he was asking me how I liked the MWR and if I had any suggestions for possible improvements.
I'll look for him when I have a chance to go to the MWR and pm you with info.
I'd try my best to be in every tuning seminar if this was to go through.

Yeah, Dan wanted to run 3 different levels of seminars aimed at the 3 differing levels of tuning ability; novice, advanced, and expert.
Also, he wanted to have give-aways and promotions, along with sales.
As much of a negative connotation there is surrounding the sales bit, the brass and the MWR folks don't understand how crazy some kids are going over there thinking about their cars and wargaming how they are going to spend all of that cash they are earning.
I know I was going crazy and I was scouring the internet at every free moment I had on it, doing research and comparison shopping for different parts that I was interested in.

Your car is waiting on you.[/QUOTE]
Yes it is and the sad part is I am already hearing horror stories of soldiers getting their cars back from the goverment contracted pov storage that their cars are coming back jacked up. For example one of the guys in my unit reported that someone was having sex in his van and there were love stains in the back seat, not to mention he has one of those personal reminder recorder thingys built in and it recorded some moans. from my understanding though he is currently in the process of suing this company. hopefully i won't have any promblems I can just imagine someone sitting in my car revving the **** out of my car just because it has an exhaust or trying to do burn outs when nobody is looking.
sorry to hijack chibby
