Stick/Pack-Man/Bob:
These Army duds are OK Stick...very little upkeep and yeah, love the boots...comfortable and require zero upkeep! I just gotta get time to work up a SITREP Pack...and NO...not considering a second tour altho already been asked by this company as well as others. Then too..."stuff happens"...things change...but doubt I'll be here past 2July07. Ten years ago, a couple or three years at this sort of thing woulda been OK...not now. Glad to be back Bob...thanks! Semper Fi from the Sands of Kandahar,

MarineVet -
How are you guys dealing with the rotation intervals? We all know you are under orders but back when I was in VN I got a one year extension of which I had no control over (I also volunteered) - but you guys don't seem to have any options. How's this going over with America's finest. You guys now have a handle on what's going on from an earlier tours but do you guys feel there is a light at the end of tunnel? You know elections are coming up and the last thing we want to do is suffer a cut and run agenda. Elections here are getting ugly again and we need to find support for our service folks as well as get to and end of this conflict. We all pray for you and all of our soldier's safety and understand that we've committed our kids once more into a situation of which many are second guessing. You are our hero's and you are standing watch in a country that sure as hell doesn't want us there. You must be watchful and always leery of those around you. I send you my very best for a safe tour. Come home to us again and bring all your friends home safely too. God be with you all.

Boats:
The year tour should still be the norm...these shorter tours do nothing for continuity and stability. Most of the younger folks only know of "short tours" so it's the norm to them. But to those of us who have pulled 12 or 13 month tours...or more...it's part of the problem over here. Will cover more of your concerns with SITREP when I send it. I get the coming Wed off, so hope to have time to fly a couple paragraphs to ALCON on the issue. Will give you a heads up, tho, this is just about the most fouled up goat rope I've ever seen!!! Much more on this aspect, later. Net is acting up...this is my second try at a reply...gonna fly it now while it seems everything is a GO...! Semper Fi from the Sands of Kandahar,

Damn fella, I didn't know they were taking old farts like you over there to the wonderful world of camels & scorpions?
Just kiding.................  I was starting to wonder where you had been for so long just like many others of us around here. It is great to hear from you and let me be one of the many to say---THANK YOU--for your service to our country. And, stay safe, stay healthy and may God be your constant protector while you're over there.
