Alabama!

I have 1 year and six weeks left in the Air Force and I have to move to Gunter Annex, Maxwell AFB Alabama for the last nine months of my career. Needless to say, I'm really excited! Not. The only positive note is there is an AWD dyno not far away. I'm leaving in August.

That's ridiculous! Why would they move you clear across the country for 9 months?
Either way, its a bummer...

Well, I have just over a year of retainability, but when you factor in 3 months of terminal leave, I'll only be there 9 months (or less). It's definately a waste of money as they'll move me twice in less than a year.

silver satin, no problem. Yeah, I'll be close to NASCAR, and race tracks, but a search on myspace doesn't look promising. I'm definately looking for a younger, friendlier Mrs. Johnson.

Only because I can't get real Asahi (not the watered down US stuff). Super Dry!

I hate ASSahi! I love Orion. I could drink Orion forever! However the worst JDM beer I have encountered is made by Asahi and is called Magnum Super Dry. God damn is that stuff nasty.

Actually, the worst JDM I ever had was Ebisu, Japan's oldest brewery. Truly nasty stuff in my opinion. I rank the JDM in this order, Asahi, Kirin, Sapporo, and Ebisu (only if no other beer exists in the immediate vicinity).

I never have Ebisu, but my ranking would be from best to worst Japanese beers:

Orion, Sapporo, Kirin Original, Asahi/ Kirin Dark, Magnum Super Dry

Magnum Super Dry is on an undrinkable level. I always prefer to drink beer on tap, so several of my friends and I went to an Izakiya (SP?), which is like a English pub. We had already been drinking for a while, but one or two sips of Magnum and we had to stop with the beer. We switched to Awamori.
