Ok this is a little early since im not scheduled to deploy agian till middle next year. What should I do to my car before having it @!#$ for 7-9 months with NO ONE able to start it move it or anything. I will have it in a locked storage unit. Lemme know about tires, gas oil battery and what not. I want to come home and only worry if its still there not if its gunna drive haha.

Throw some gas stabilizer in it.. that's pretty much it. Maybe make sure all the tires are aired up... you might still come home to a flat one tho..
Yeah, gas stabilizer. Take the weight off the wheels if possible (jack stands). Change oil recently. Check fluid levels, make sure topped off and right mix. May want to use fogging oil on the pistons if you're paranoid.
You will have flat spots on the tires, if not jacked up.
A lot of the parts, depend on the car moving, they need to be lubricated, if they sit there and dry out. Than when you do start it again issues can arise.
I have seen it tons of times at the dealer where I work.

You may want to put a box or two of baking soda in the car to absorb moisture and it does wonders for odors being the car will be closed up for that time period.Do not use air freshners they will go bad and do nothing for it.That's about it.
