Come back safe and sound.
We will be thinking of you
Keep your head down!
Sorry to hear the news Jack. Our best wishes to you. Ironic when you know that my wife an I arrive in Virginia for a holiday on the Ist June. You had sent contact numbers if we should get down your way.
May you be home soon.

TJ,
I'll just add a ditto to what everyone else has already said.
You're a soldier and accept your duty to go where your commanders ask you to go, I salute you for that kind of dedication. Please remember this very, very important fact ..... America supports, respects and yes, even loves it's military men and women. Even those citizens who may not agree with the political reasoning for this war still hold our military men and women close to their hearts, perhaps even more than those who see these deployments as supporting a "just and necessary cause".
Take good care of yourself and know that you have my respect and best wishes and that of a grateful nation.

All's quiet on the SWA front. Things are going well and it's nice to "get into the groove" of yelling at privates and leaning hard on buck sergeants once again! My insider at BIG ARMY headquarters (or is it hindquarters?) tells me that my retirement packet did not go through the proper channels when it was denied (due to some arcane and obscure regulation) so it's now going through a review board. There is a chance, however small, that I may yet be allowed to retire and go home. We'll wait and see.
Anyway, the chance dinner with Ian was great! It is very nice to meet face to face with forum members. Ian and Frances are wonderful people and I am very honored to have shared a dinner with them. I didn't send Ian home empty handed. Hope to see the photos soon! Take care.

Hi TJ
Hope the paper chase goes well.

I hope you are not including Hanoy Jane.
She never appreciated what out fighting Men and Women did to let her live the life of luxury.
I wonder if she spit on father, for what her father did to defeat the enemies of our great country during WWII, a great submarine hunter.
