Military RX-8s

I don't know if this is a repost at all, but, out of curiousity, how many RX-8 owners on this site are in the military? I have seen a few RX-8s on base here in San Diego, but I was just wondering if any of them are on this site.

What RX-8 do you have?

Glad to see that there are a lot of military members here. As far as me, I am an E-5 in the Navy. I am an Information Systems Technician and been in the Navy for 5 1/2 years. I am stationed at the Naval Amphibious base in Coronado, CA.

I probably should of mentioned my job since I brought it up. E-5 15-T (UH-60 crew chief / enlisted flt instructor). Currently, I work as a DOD federal technician for the National Guard (It means I still fix helicopters on a civilian pay scale) and I am a Technical inspector on drill weekends.

Just retired last year after 20 years as a Naval Officer, but I bought my blue baby while on active duty, so I figure that counts!
