Welcome back Chris. Be careful over there. How is your car running? I know you tried commuting in for a while. How did that go? Talk to you later.
Brian

Hey, Chris,
Good to "hear" from you again.
If you're still stateside, I'll be in Ontario CA from January 8th to the 10th for the AMA Expo 2010 (model airplane show). We could kill a few burgers.
Cell: 717-917-3670
Warmest...

Chris, always glad to see you on here! I salute you for your service again. You're a good man for stepping up when most of us can't/won't/don't. Keep your head down and stay safe!

Hey Chris,
We never did make that connection you said we might make as you came to LNAS from time to time. If you ever make it back to the valley, look me up. Ditto on appreciation for your service for us.
Hey Jeff,
Will your time be flexible at the Model Airplane show? I'm off that week and depending on how things work out might try to head down to the show. If it works out I may give you a call.
Warmest Regards,
|

Hi, Steve,
Time is almost always flexible. I'll most likely have lunches and dinners scheduled with distributor and manufacturer friends, but all a magazine editor really needs to do at these things is walk around and schmooze, photo the latest releases and yak.
Call the Park Pilot cell if you're around on Friday or Saturday, or up till noon or so on Sunday: 717-917-1272
Warmest...

I want to thank all of you who responded, seriously, it gave me a real warm fuzzy inside to read them. It was nice to hear from so many old friends. I will be here in Kosova untill about 5 August 2010 so I will not be able to see you Jeff, Even though nothing I could think of would be more fun and interesting.
I just got out from three days in the hospital here. It turns out I had Gall stones, not ulcers or GERD. They removed my gallbladder. That could be called a blessing, on active duty I paid nothing. I am Missing patrols with my squad but they have done pretty good without me, so, I guess I have trained them well. That is the entire point isn't it?
the Bradley is still running great. I have no complaints with it. i think I will sell it when I get back though. I ride my motorcycle more than anything else and it is way more ecoomical with both space and maintenace time.
It runns great though the delorto carbs are a bit rich, resulting in a safe mixture, lots of power (2007cc) but milage of only 19.5 (65-70) to 15.5 (75-90)
I will post some pix of my patrols later, after I resize them for here.

Hey, Chris,
Be well, my friend. Sorry I missed the timeline.
I think one gentlemen wrote, "keep your head down." I don't think anyone could improve on that. Do it, and stay safe.
Thanks ace, and always the best...
