Thank you all for your service to our country.

I have a son currently serving in the U.S. Navy and stationed in Ingleside, Texas. Soon, he will be deployed to Bahrain in the Persian Gulf. When he gets back, I will be giving him lots of seat time in MR ECON. Maybe I'll convert him from a Ford man to a Mini man.

 

Did 7 years Army (Cable Dawg! ) and been a GS for a little over 4 now (NOT the kind that makes the big buck though )

Just ordered an 06 MCS last week and look forward to testing that whole "Top Speed" theory myself

 

Hi All,

22 Years of Army, some active, some reserve, currently Active Reservist (AGR) in DC area.

I bought my 03 MCS through Pentagon Auto Sales in Heidelberg, Germany. I too had a bit of a hassle getting it registered for US Warranty even though it was produced US spec.



MCS' are awesome vehicles!
HOOAH!

 

Retired after 20 years service in the US Navy (Finally had to get a REAL job) I Enjoyed my time in the service, instructor duty was extremely satisfying (the proverbial light coming on). Even to this day I have a young(?) kid running into me and saying that I was his instructor during "A" school and then they thank me for teaching them the "actual theory" that keeps them ahead of their peers in the advancement process. Analogies work wonders on the mental process, wish more teachers/ instructors would use them


Cheers!

 

U.S. Air Force, Sep '54 to Aug '77.

Foreign language specialist and missile electronics.

Why own and drive a MINI? Because I can!!

 

USAF Fire Protection 1983 - 1987 Moody AFB, GA 347 TFW CES
Proud of all of you career folks who are still serving.

 

hell no. I don't know how many dependants ever swore to defend their country at any cost.

Anyway, I'm in my 17th year active duty AF. Been all over, now in Germany.

 

10.5 years in the USAF. I'm an F-16 pilot, stationed on exchange to the middle east, enjoying the flying, and missing my MCS JCW back home (among other things like my family). Can't wait to get back home in 11 months.

Nozz

Rock on Military Mini Brothers & Sisters

 

5 years 6 months....AD Navy...CTO2....belay my last lol now IT2...Been to Great Mistakes for Boot Camp...Pensacola Florida....Chesapeake then Norfolk VA...then Bahrain and now San Diego...
2003 LY/B MCS

 

U.S. Navy 1971 - 1997. Flew F-4 Phantoms and F-14 Tomcats. Now flying a desk as a defense contractor.

 

18 and a half years in the U.S. Navy and counting and a year and a half left to go before retirement. Spent half of my career forward deployed in Japan. I have been all over Asia and the Middle East and currently stationed here in San Diego. Ordered DS/B Cooper S last July at South Bay Mini and took delivery last November. So far so fun..

 

Let me guess, you believe that if the military wanted you to have a family, then they would have issued you one in your seabag/footlocker?

There was a time when I thought all that work-life stuff they pushed on us was a lot of hokey touchy feelie mumbo jumbo too... Then I got married, and it all started to make sense... It's pretty cool to know that there's somebody waiting for you, somebody to come back to, somebody who's supporting you when you're out there on TDY...

BTW, you do realize that you were responding to a post that was made more than 2 and a half years ago don't you?

 

Isn't it great that good things never go away! (even 2 1/2 years since the post began) The military has become more family orientated in the past few years. My family loves it, with the traveling and living in different countries / continents. Even while I am not with my family my children have the opportunity to see the world that the majority of other kids will never will. I just hit 13 years with 7 years to go. Been to the desert, Europe, Hawaii, and several states that I now know I will never live in, by choice, again! The experiences we have enjoyed would not have been possible if it was not for the military.

GOD BLESS AMERICA, and ALL OF THOSE THAT SERVE FOR HER FREEDOM

Still enjoying my '05 MCS...dark silver and black

 

Says the person stationed in HAWAII

Just joking naturally

 

USN 1968-1994. Now a contractor working at a live training range for PACFLT. Just can't let go. Love my MINI, but it seems most of the young JOs here at North Island prefer Wranglers.

 

20 Years in US Marine Corps retired CWO2 and been retired for 9 years. Still GS at NGA. My MINI is the best car I have ever owned bar none.

Semper Fi

 

well ill post this for my parents...my dad served in the navy from 1963-1991....he retired as a HTCM(MDV)...for you non swabbies its a Hull Technician Master Chief (Master Diver)...my dad recently bought a 2004 CR/CR MCS...they love that little rocket

 

USAF 23yrs and going (Langley Stealth Tech)
Anyone currently serving USAF with a Mini needs to put in for Southern Cali.
That part of the country is VERY Mini friendly, just ask any Cali Mini group.
I love the Dragon on the east side, but Cali has several of those routes, as well as several Military mini owners. (Not belittling any other State)

 

I was an Air Force brat for 20+ years. I think that counts. Families of military members have to give up a lot. I know I never really liked moving every 3 or so years, losing what friends I had made, and then having to always make new ones. We lived in Germany during the first Gulf War and we had to deal with bomb threats at school and protesters outside the main gates. It wasn't like growing up in the US that is for sure.

 

USAF enlisted 4yrs now getting a commission through USAF Academy and waiting on a 06 MCS to arrive sometime in March. really looking forward to both.

 

US Army (Retired) 27 Years Active Duty. Love my 2006 MCS JCW as well as my 1999 C5 Corvette (Modified) with LS6 405 hp Z06 Engine .

Hooah,
