[todd_raleigh]

Thanks for all your work over there! We appreciate it!!!

[Ex-Miata Man]

Keep safe over there and a deep thanks from someone who lives under the benefits you and the other guys over there have given to us. Have fun with your Sol when you get home.

[SolNut]

Take care-Steve

Get home safely, congrats on your Sol

Great news! Ditto on the thanks for our troops. There is nothing we can do to repay you folks. I'd like to see you guys get 'em for free. I don't think Ophra and/or croud would sponsor that.
SMSgt (ret). Come home safe and God Bless!!

MSG McKee,

Congrats on picking up a Solstice from the AAFES program!!! I don't suppose your dealer told you if all 40 cars designated for deployed troops have been spoken for yet, did he? I'm curently depolyed to one of those undisclosed locations in the Middle-East myself. AS soon as I get off duty tonight, I'm gonna' head straight over to the AAFES car dealer at this location! I'll see what I can find out.
Keep your cranium on a swivel and watch your six!

Good luck getting your Solstice.

Also, thank you for serving your country.

What does it mean to "watch your six"?

watch your six...is slang..some of used in the military to check behind you!!..notice your watch....looking ahead at 12..the 6 is behind you....thus watch your six......some of us say..dont forget to check six...before you do something..meaning always look behind you....

Stang,

It means, Keep an eye out for what might be behind you!

It's and old flying term...We've been using it in the USAF since we were the Army Air Corps. It's based on the positions of a clock...i.e. 12 o'clock would be in front of you...3 o'clock would be to your right....9 o'clock would be to your left....and 6 o'clock would be stright behind you.

Thank you for your well wishes!

I got sly and as you was not quite sure until I saw one for real at the plant. The moment I saw it all doubt was gone the color is awesome.

All those things others have said about you service goes for me as we. Nothing I respect more than our soliders.

First pics of the AAFES program cars. James Bond would be proud.


I think Sly means something different on the military spec cars.

Nice! Now we know that nothing can ruin the good looks of this car. In fact, I kinda like it. You could call it "Sneaky".
