G'day Big Tanker,

I'm Wazza from down-under. I'm here to keep y'all abreast of what we think in Oz and keep things in perspective. I ought to tell you up front I find my therapy in humour [yes I can spell correctly]. I'm usually in the saloon before the others arrive and pick up all the gossip after they've gone home. Hope to talk to you soon. Welcome home bro.

Cool Tiny Tanker

There has always been a special place in my heart for tankers. Having been Mech Infantry, M-48's always gave us a warm and fuzzy feeling. Welcome home my friend.

Stay healthy,
Andy

Default Andy,

Was the warm fuzzy feeling because you were hoping they would draw B-40's away from the APC's???? I don't blame you!

Was worried about your cousin this a.m. While leaving for work I noticed 2 fire trucks and an ambulance right in front of his house. Went over to see if it was your cousin, but they told me it was the people across the street. Just checkin' for you. We still haven't given him that picture yet.....just keep forgettin'.

Growin' old ain't for the weak.

Pack

Cool Tankers

Legs never had any beer, tanker's always did. Besides, I've always been impressed with people who had a bigger gun than I did. (Apparently Charles was always impressed with those big guns, your right about the RPG-7's.)
Thanks for the update on my relatives Mrs. Cravetts. I'll have to drop him a line.

Stay healthy,
