Ladies, Gents — our own LtCol P will be jumping off for the CENTCOM AOR within the next 48 hours or so to do God’s work with the Marines (who, by the way, seized a major Taliban stronghold this morning).
Good luck Sir! Come back in one piece and leave your enemies in many. And remember Kipling: “they shall praise thy zeal, so long as the red spurt follows the steel.”
Sayeth LtCol P… many thanks to all for the kind words and encouragement. I will endeavor to live up to expectations. I must also add that OUR MAN SLAB is also outbound, in his case for a year. Make sure you wish him well, also.

Stand by for some Thunder Run linking!
Good Luck. Stay Safe.
Good luck and all the best to your family during the coming months.
Best to you and yours.
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the sands of Lashkar Gah…
Best wishes and best luck,
Mark
Ottawa
Take care, kick the shit out of the bad guys and get home safe.
Godspeed and good luck, LtCol P!
