not to mention trying to carry all your belongings with you in a backpack when being transferred. not trying to piss on your parade man, but your first months after basic won't be very fun time to own just a bike. I know in the Corps after parri island you had a month of MCT, then if you were infantry you had SOI and possiby then MOS school. you get bounced around a good bit, I'm sure the Army isnt much different. but good luck, nice car. wish I had the cash for it
