Hehe – Thanks! Recon!

We did a lot of x-training with Combat Medics and I actually went through the Combat Medic Badge qualification. I always loved the medics for hooking me up with IV’s right before a PT test or Ruck March. Also love all the free meds LOL

Anyways – The Rebel is fun. Very light and easy to just sit back and cruise on. I do recommend though that you adjust the shifter level one “tooth/notch” so its easier to shift. Also if the bike you got does not have it already, invest $7 and get a magnetic drain plug, and the $10 for the inline fuel filter from autozone.

There is a Rebel250 forum http://www.rebel250.com/

Have fun!!

Get in your practice time and ride the crap out of it. The good stuff is just around the corner now.

Thanks for al the advice and well wishes, I really do appreciate it.

Sangria7, do you mean the EFMB? The CMB is not something you go through a course for. It’s a combat badge for Medics (Combat Medical Badge). The EFMB (Expert Field Medical Badge) though, is something people can try for. It’s not an easy thing to get, and I have much respect for anyone holding either badge.
Hahaha, I know what you mean about PT tests, I get all kinds of goofy requests right around that time. My buddies get IV’s, the rest get good advice. There’s only so much I can do with limited supplies. There’s a couple folks a guy should make nice with in a unit, and you already know who those people are.

Thanks for the well wishes people, I really do appreciate it. I’ll keep y’all posted when I get my bike and get to ride for real.
