Topic: Moving to Ohio
Spartan1968 Joined Mon 02/09/09 Posts: 465	Fri 02/20/09 09:30 PM
Hello all...Im doing a year in Iraq and then moving from Italy to Dayton, Ohio. This mingle thing seems like a cool way to make some friends so here I am. Im a 40 yr old man that likes trying new things and seeing new places (a year in Iraq is plenty -- seen the whole country and have 4 months to go). Drop me a note if interested (swimmer1968 on yahoo) Ed

Wow, fast responses. Hmmm, send pizza eh? Might be tough to do. Tell you what, you get toBaghdad and I will take you to the Iraqi joint that serve up a mean spicy chicken pizza. I will even toss in a fruit smoothie :-)

Not on purpose...Im in the USAF. I asked for the UK, belgium, Germany or anywhere in Europe. They offered St Louis or Dayton. So, off I go.

wow what a choice. No kidding, but after accepting it Dayton seems like a nice area. IM sure it will be fun. I can go to Columbus and watch the Buckeyes play even.

Don't let the party poopers get you down. You should be happy wherever you are (I should take that advice). Biking isn't lame.. being lazy and out of shape is :)

I think it was in Terra Haute and it was a fun trip. Had some beers and some laughs and generally a good time with the locals. Good people there!

One note..whatever you do today it will cost you a day of your life. So, even in fresno, make it worth it. Take care of yourself.

Welcome and thank you for your service to our country. Join in the forums and maybe you'll make a few friends from there before you get to Ohio!!

I am from Ohio, you may like Dayton, its a good base. Just remember the Highway Patrol will give you a ticket if your going 70 for 5 over. They have to catch you, my mother got a ticket for doing 1 over the speed limit. Thats why I live in Massachuetts. Speed limit is a suggestion.
