Rear Axle

[SkyJumper]

Can anyone decode this rear end axle tab? What I see on the axle cover tab is:
S6138 X
3L7 3 8.8 5H16

Thanks for any help.

[SkyJumper]

Hey Thanks Alec,
I got my MRI on Monday, and now they want to Medically retire me early for this head and neuro problem. Ain't that some s^*t.

 

[Alec]

Retire from the military? You get full benefits?

 

[SkyJumper]

Yeah from the military. and yes full benefits and disability.

 

[Alec]

So is that a bad thing?

 

[SkyJumper]

Well I just do not get to finish my full 20yrs in this great job of mine. But overall I guess it is for the best.

 

[Alec]

Do you get better benefits if you go full-term? If so, can you appeal their decision?

 

[SkyJumper]

I have no idea just yet how the medical discharge benefits differ from that of a 20yr retiree. I have to check those differences out soon. But once the doc says you are not fit for duty any longer than it is out of your hands and into the hands of the medical review board and the board findings afterwards.

 

[Alec]

Well good luck!

 

[SkyJumper]

Well, thanks for saying so. It is going to be a big adjustment back to the civilian world. Are you going to start another X project or what? And where do you live in Galveston? I have a Aunt and Uncle that lives on Q1/2 in Galveston.

 

[Alec]

Another X or offroad project? 5 or 6 years?

I live at the end of 4th in Fish Village, between the yacht club and Ferry Rd.
