Just wanted to thank you for the add and introduce myself to the community. I am a long time Ram owner I've owned 1 2nd gen, 2 3rd gen's, 1 4th gen and now my first 5th gen. I've always came to these forums for information but haven't joined until now. On veterans day 30 years ago I was in my 1st year active duty Navy. I served a total of 7 years (Navy and Army NG). While shopping for a truck I stumbled across this 2021 Built for Service and it was like it was destined to be. I know the Billet Silver is Technically one of the Air Force colors but I don't care. Love my new truck and look forward to learning all the ins and outs of these 5th gens from y'all.

Welcome from a fellow squid. I joined in 95 and did my full 20 years. The BTS trucks are awesome. I love mine, and it's the only reason I own a Ram. I got one of the Navy edition ones. Have done a few things to it

Nice truck!! Wish a Navy color was available but had to roll with what I could find. I was Air Navy (VFA-37) so it kinda works. 🤣🤣

I did at least a few days in every active west coast carrier during my time. Even have two COD flights under my belt. The cat shot isn't that exciting, but the arresting landing will freak you out if you ever worked the flight deck. It feels like you aren't going to stop and it's taking way to long.

I worked the deck on both of my deployments. Took my COD Shot but never got a landing. The drop off was no joke either!!

Welcome Aboard.

If I were going to by a "Built to Serve" Ram the Billet Silver Air Force would have been my choice as well. (y) :cool:
