Short Deployment

Well guys, I'm heading out of the country shortly for a about a month, so I may not be able to chime in with my usual pearls of wisdom until I get back. Forums are generally blocked by gov computer systems. Headed to Egypt with the Air Force -- not a lot I can say, other than it should be a fun one!!

Take care fellas -- we'll see y'all on the other side if I can't get on once I'm over there. Just wanted to let you know that my possible abrupt absense is only temporary (no big parties while I'm gone, okay?? )

Joe...I'll miss your insight and your contribution to this forum for the next month. I am an early American history nut and this quote from George Washington says how I feel about people like you on this forum:

Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company.


Take care and may God Bless You and your family.

Godspeed and be safe. I know that I was able to at least look at the forum when I was in that region/armpit of the world back in 2001/2. I was still a lurker back then. I suspect we will be hearing from you. Hurry back.

Are you parking the truck on base or leaving it home when deployed?

A few of our vehicle were broken into on cruises, so make sure to keep it safe.

Be safe.
