    I would recommend, having some drinks, eating good food, ripping some packs, seeing all the good movies out (Inglorious Basterds to start), meeting some ladies and then...

    staying safe and getting back here to do all of the preceding items all over again.

    Thanks for serving, sir.

    Thanks for the dedicated service!


    When you have a choice, ONLY ride in the Cougars and/or
    Buffalos that have been suspension-upgraded and deployed
    to Afg from Iraq.

    The new OSK MRAP (MATV) is "unproven."


    While "Inglourious Basterds" is just a fairy tale, you should
    watch it before you deploy.

    Bill ... GOD BLESS ... be safe ... get back here fast and in good health.

    What is your favorite baseball/football/basketball/hockey teams? I don't have any PELLE or 60 Fleer PSAs, but, like Kevin said, I'd like to send something your way tomorrow so you have it before heading overseas. It might not be much, but it will be something for you to open. Heck, if most of us sent you a little something you can have fun opening them before you leave.

    Your info please.

    STAY HEALTHY!

    Hi Bill,

    There was a segment on our local TV news yesterday about a Brave Sgt who wanted to return to Afghanistan, but couldn't because of his credit score... he had taken out a bank loan to purchase some property for his family in case he doesn't make it back, but was scammed and lost everything.

    The result was a 350 point drop in his credit score and he was deemed a security risk by the Military... he's still wants to go asap, what a brave soldier!

    Take care,

    Mike

    Well, you never know when a soldier might run out of ammo and have to pull out his Discover card and get some more.

    Bill,
    Thank you for your service, and may you have a safe return back home. God bless.

    Thank you! Not a day goes by that I'm not grateful for our military and the freedom they give us all. If you were near Rainsville, Al, I would treat you to an 18 hole beat down.
