92 day reservist at paris island oorah, 0311 rifleman. i train the next 2 summers, do one weekend a month thru college, i may go active after, if not it’s a 6 year on 2 off commitment 3 of which will be during college. and i understand i can get shipped out, i just cant go active on my own terms, out of respect for my parents wishes (if there’s an opportunity to go out though…. well lets say i look forward to it.)
thanks for the advise on boot camp, i’ll need all i can get. thanks a lot elwood, i’, looking forward to boot, i don’t know if you experienced college, but dorm life and classes make me feel useless at times, that’s why i signed the papers.
as for the bike, I will have a place to store it if i were called up, so there isnt an issue there.
I didnt know there were saddle bags, good stuff that’s all i’ll need as far as i know. i’m not going to lug stuff around on the bike like water, probably just clothes, toothbrush etc.
So to be clear once i’m skilled enough wind wont be a big issue on the 250? and the fact that i’m a college kid i wont have the cash to upgrade for a while, is the 500 a reasonable starter bike (erring on the conservative side here)?
