    Default Back from the Sandbox

    It's been awhile since I last posted, about 7 months to be exact. I returned from a TDY to Washington, D.C. and 4 days later got put on a plane for Jordan for 6-12 months. Anyway, our JWICS AND SIPR net were amazing, but our NIPR (regular net) was awful, so I just gave up. It took like 15 minutes just to load hotmail. Anyway, I am back, having earned another combat patch and an 11th combat stripe. I am currently clearing Fort Bliss and preparing for my move to my next duty station in Los Angeles. Hope things were well while I was gone. Talk to you all later.

    Welcome back! If you're around in LA by August 17, you should attend the SoCal meetup!
    I love living in the past...

    Welcome back! I'm glad that you're safe and sound.

    Yeah, the NIPR net can be painfully slow; there were times when I had to deal with a net that was so slow that I could count to 20 before the character I'd typed would appear on the monitor!

    Again: WELCOME BACK! And I hope that your stay in CONUS will be nice and long.
    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
    It's the same when you are stupid.

    Glad you made it back to CONUS in one piece. Thank you for your service...but heck, LA might be just as or more dangerous. At least you can visit the beach for a bit of better scenery...

    Welcome back, Darth! I was wondering where you'd been!
