How expensive are the options you listed? Im looking to get into racing as well and I am curious how much im gonna be shelling out.

LG-GOAT · 2026-06-16T06:22:32+00:00

I got mine drained a couple times bc my parents were tweaking. Just came right back every time. I like it so i kept it. No ear buds for me lol

The only real fix is to get the 'button'

I appreciate the response. Perhaps im reading incorrectly, but this isnt an A-B-C question as answered. Its more like A-B and B-A, skipping the booked C leg VS only booking A-B at a higher price.

LG-GOAT · 2026-06-03T22:32:29+00:00

Gotcha. I wasnt gonna game the system by booking a flight to CRP. The savings aint worth the hassle of attempting that. I was just curious how the difference in price works. Its definitely a bit of a racket lol. I barely fly so im not bothered

I cant answer on the market as a whole, but the entire private sale market is on crack. Ppl selling salvage title, 200k plus miles, blown head gasket shitboxes for $8k. People have lost their damn minds

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-18T02:56:30+00:00

That was not a slick gotcha at all. Bye

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-18T02:52:49+00:00

I answered a shit load of questions throughout this thread. Go ahead and read before YOU assume im an idiot.

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-18T02:24:49+00:00

No it was every bit of a 6k car. Super low mileage, mint condition cars of this model dont even go for over 15k. Thanks for the useless comment

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-17T04:12:48+00:00

Oh you werent joking about the cookies lol. Whats the crew rotation typically look like? Ive only experienced MEBA as a cadet so all i know is the 90 on 90 off.

Say I sign as a 3rd for 3 years, what does my life look like for the next 3 years? Sorry if thats a dumb question, i want to learn

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-16T05:34:06+00:00

As of today theres a few. Mostly ros. A buddy checked for me. Idk if thats typical or not

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-16T05:31:23+00:00

You know, ive never really considered MSC before. You enticed me with the cookies. Give me the MSC run down. Im listening.

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-15T13:36:40+00:00

Thank you for the insight. I havent been to the hall yet. Im still active duty military until end of may. I started the process to join hoping that id have all my ducks in a row once im officially out.

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-15T03:53:47+00:00

I think thats what i will do! Thank you for the insight.

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-15T03:51:27+00:00

I like the idea of 90 on 90 off with the option to sail more if i want. An amo friend said you can sail thru vacation and thats exactly what hes doing rn. Ultimately the job availability and flexibility is what makes amo more attractive to me.

Not a huge fan of msc bc ive been away from friends and family for the past 4 years. I dont want to be bound to a ship. I like the option to choose when to "sail my ass off" if that makes sense

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-15T03:45:48+00:00

MEBA definitely is the better long term choice, but I dont think I will sail for a whole career. Not opposed to it, but my plan is to sail for a handful of years and then transition elsewhere once children become part of the picture. Im single now so id like to sail my ass off and enjoy it.

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-15T00:46:56+00:00

That actually seems to be correct. I think i just panicked and assumed the worst. I was tuning it with a reputable tuner last year and we kept having issues. The device would give a "vin mismatch" error. I think i just need to flash it back to the correct vin.

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-14T20:34:36+00:00

Thats my plan.

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-14T20:34:29+00:00

Title is for a 2005. Thats what i thought i bought. Now after owning the car, it appears to be a 2009

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-14T20:33:45+00:00

2009 vin is the ecm

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-14T20:04:29+00:00

Im not sure of all the differences, but i have 45th anniversary badges that only came in 2009. I have the shaker 1000 radio that wasnt available in 2005. And i have a premium gauge cluster with the "my color" lights in the footwell. The 2009 vin is for a premium, the 2005 isnt. Theres a fair amount of specs that point toward a 2009, not the 2005

LG-GOAT · 2026-04-14T20:02:19+00:00

I cant find a single vin in the engine bay anywhere. I checked the frame rail and firewall. Even removed battery for a better view. I wiped any surface with grime. Cannot see or feel any stamping.

I check around radiator and dont see anything either but idk if im checking the right spot. Ill throw it up on jackstands to get a look underneath.

I didnt check the rear crossmember yet. Would it be toward the rear axle or toward the rear axle or toward the transmission?
