Hello All!

New"ish" member here been lurking around for a while and finally got some time to write a intro and say hi.

I'm currently stationed in the UK and have honestly been enjoying my time here even with the COVID lockdown that happened a little while ago. I just picked up a new to me 2006 Jeep Liberty Sport that I got from a friend of mine before he PCS'd out. I have no overlanding experience but, learned to drive on old country roads that we had to call the town hall to grade every so often. Definitely a novice in the offroading bit though; eager to learn though. Once I get to a place that I can put a picture up I will.

Thanks for having me!

Welcome Zack,
First thank you for your service, Retired Army here.
Second please adjust your location to just City and Country…. Or just AFB is good enough. It’s an OPSEC thing.

Overland Bound is broken up into regions. @Kent R is the director for Eastern Europe at the moment. Any questions don’t hesitate to ask.

Welcome to the Overland Bound Community. Glad to have you join us. Don't worry we don't take off points for the USAF. I was 20 year Army.

I knew there was bound to be at least one lurking about haha. My family is a mixture of Air Force and Army so the table around the holiday's gets rather entertaining. I think I can pitch a tent though I'll just have to call room service real quick to make sure I'm allowed first lol.

Thanks for having me!
