No, not at all. Received an email today outlining how I am expected to show up at Ft Bragg on Monday, to start my way through the training queue... Which would then turn into a 365 day deployment. Funny thing is, no one at big AF knows anything about this, and no orders have been cut... No one seems to have any idea what the make the beast with two backs is going on. I am technically in a non-deployable billet, but yet somehow I get pulled for a lengthy one? I was told that it was a by-name-request, but the guys down there don't do that sort of thing without actually talking to you about it first, as they don't want someone whose heart isn't "in it" on their team... None of this makes any sense...

Isn't Bragg in N.C.? How the hell are you expected to drop everything and be there on Monday??? Fack!

I don't know how this stuff works, but lemme know if you need any help with logistics. I've got some storage room if you need it, too. Fack!

What what what?! I get a little busy and you run off to NC?!

I hope whomever gets their head out of their ass and either gives you the wave off, or some proper freakin' orders. That's not cool.

On an up note, if you end up at Bragg for a bit, I end up down that way a couple times a year as my folks retired to a town about an hour west of Fayettenam.

just sit tight until they give you official orders, otherwise they'll hang you on being AWOL and try and make the beast with two backs up your life onward...

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Removed one of my rearsets, exhaust brackets, top triple, and handlebar clamps. Got everything off effortlessly until the right rearset. One of my bolts is stripped, and I have exhausted all measures to get it off. I tried using torx bits, extractor kits, etc. Finally I got an extractor bit that would stick, and of course, it broke off in the screw head!!! I almost lost it except I was partly distracted from having bloodied up my knuckles on the ground when it snapped, lol.

I've been trying to figure out how to remove this damn thing all weekend, and that was the ultimate slap in the face. Now my last resort is to reassemble all the parts I removed and try and figure out where to take it to get the extractor bit removed and get the stripped bolt taken out....... After buying every damn thing in the world, going to a combination of Sears, Home Depot, Ace Hardware and trying every method I am finally waving the white flag of defeat, lol. This problem is above my skill level.

Anyone wanna help a struggling member out? I would be forever grateful. bow down
