What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
At least you didn't name yourself after a truck lol!
At least they are NICE trucks! I drive a Ram 2500.
My username is because my last name is Rockafellow and in the service, everyone called me Rock. Some of my friends still do... so... Rocks Reef was born!

My legal name is Keith. However, I must add, I have been called all sorts of things. Most of which I cannot post on here due to censor issues!
Good morning Keith.

I know what you mean. When I fire up my 2500, it rumbles... such a beautiful sound coming out of that 6.4L Hemi! I may press a bit hard on the skinny pedal from time to time, like you said it to go fast! I also like how it pushed you back in your seat when you really get on it!

That is awesome! I bet you are a proud mama! I hope he sticks it out and gets his 20. He won't regret it. My step son has been since 2017 as well. He's a crew chief for the A-10 Warthogs. I think I've talked him in to staying in, I mean, he's already half way there.

I'm hoping he does as well. He does something with logistics and keeping track of all kinds of supplies.
