Welcome to the site Cody. I'm stationed down at fort bragg right now, I've been lucky to never have to go up to Drum. Being in the military definitely makes this challenging hobby even tougher. Hopefully you have a good LFS up there that can help you out, I found one here that will take care of my tank at cost anytime I need to leave somewhere for a long period of time.

Cool, Cody. Welcome to the site. One of my good friend's husbands is stationed up in Ft. Drum...he just finished a tour in Afghanistan, also, a couple of months ago. I believe in a couple of weeks he's being transferred to NC.
