    Post Off Again!!

    Well folks just wanted to say as of this coming Wednesday I won't be on this forum for at least the forseeable future. I am on one of the naval ships that is part of Canada's contribution to the "War on Terrorism". It was kind of short notice and came as a surprise as I just got back from the Persian Gulf in July after a 6 month deployment. Wish me luck, I will try to get on if I find any cyber cafes. I guess I will be seeing all your praises and or critiscms of DECTREK in the upcoming weeks. Take care folks.

    You take care yourself... I would say "keep your head down", but ducking seems kinda pointless aboard ship.

    Good luck.

    Don't think I'm gonna be far behind you, Brad.
    "War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

    To all those who are shipping out or will be shipping out, I want to say THANK YOU! Thank you for being brave enough to defend all that we hold dear. I know that my family and I will be praying for yours' and all military personals' safe and quick return. We hope to hear from you soon.

    That's some lousy luck. I just got back from three months in Saudi, and I'd hate to go back again this soon. Don't let your ship run into any mines, ya hear?

    Hey Brad, have you ever been to Malta? Think you'll be going there? It's one of the historic sites up near the top of my list of places I'd like to visit.

    Keep your eyes open in the Med. It seems like everybody there has an axe to grind. "Libyans and Turks and Beirutians, oh my."
