I served in the NAVY from '88 - '92 onboard the USS INDEPENDENCE CV-62 as a flight deck aircraft handler. We were first on station when Saddam invaded Kuait. I'm sorry we didn't finish the job like we should have the first time. Hind-sight is always 20/20. My first WRX was an '02 model - a midnight pearl sport wagon. I'm now driving an '05 black one. The WRX is an awesome machine. You Marines are OK with me, too. Every time you guys needed a ride, you'd call us! ;~) Hang tough! Adapt and overcome! Semper Fi!
