The Story Of How I Found This Site

[jason96r]

Well as you all know are beloved bikes are know as GS and some are even referred to as GSR. GSR is actually how I found this site, because as maybe a few of you may know. The US Army had a MOS(job) within the Army called 96R, no longer exsists, also know as GSR (Ground Surveillance Radar) basically a scout but in military intelligence.

One day I was searching the net for GSR websites, of some friends that I may have served with in the past. I came across this site and clicked on it, and just because I was bored and just happened to own a 1983 GS850L I started to read through the site and liked it.

Just thought that some of you may be interested in this story. I don't know how long the term GSR has been used for some Suzuki motorcycles. But my old job was formed around the Vietnam era. Thanks for a great site from a GSR who owns a GS.

Yes, more interesting than how I came across the forum also. A friend recommended the site some years ago by saying it had a bunch of nuts willing to talk about anything and everything, including the GS Suzuki now and then. So I visited this site and never left.:-D

I found out about military gsr by searching for suzuki terms!!

Yeah, I really liked my job as a GSR. It was a job skill with very few members in it, so we are very proud and quite cocky. For instance when I joined and finished training there were around 450 Army wide in my job. When I left a little over 100. The neatest part was that I happened to own a GS when I found this site. I actually planned to learn how to ride on the bike, then buy a newer bike (like the Boulevard Midnight). Now I just planned to keep the bike thanks to this site and liking the bike.

Jason, cool to hear about small MOS's. I was a 88T, railroad track maintainer(about 60 in the Army, all reserves now) I think the smallest MOS group i saw was light boat operators. Couldn't find the MOS #, but met one who told me there were only about 20 in the Army.

Glad you found the site Jason, how about that for a convergance of circumstances.

Word of warning but, you will find nothing but the nicest, all round helpful people here, but the place is a bit like the "hotel California", you may check out any time you like, but you may never leave.
