Long Time Lurker Finally Saying Hello

Yep that’s how I did it 2 tours 15 months each. One of them stoplossed entire time. Wouldn’t change it for nothing.
Oof, being stop-lossed is rough. Sounds like you made it out of there alright though and you're right, the difficult experiences can be the most valuable.
Welcome, I still have my first car but not a nice Dart
Thank you!
