Well, if you remember the post, I'm deploying back to Iraq. Come Monday, I'll be off to the desert. Should be an interesting next 12 months!
I should have net access. However, between a wimpy thinkpad, and high-latency sat. connection, no main SL. Will still have the forums though, so, once I get back in the loop, I'll drop some messages!
If anyone, for any wierd reason, wants a update as to what's going on with me, talk to Giridian Molinari in-game. Dats de RL spouse.
If you write me, I'll promise to write back! Send me a care package, I'll love you FOREVER! Send me a disposable camera, and I'll send it back in a week full of Iraq picture goodness. When I get it, it'll be an APO-AE address, so it's the same costs as sending things to any normal US area.
Love you all, will miss you all, and SL better be here when I come home!

I already told you before how much I appreciate your service to my beloved country and to the free world. I'll just take this opportunity to remind God to bless your path, to watch over you and your brothers in arms and to grant your family and friends the strength to get through this time apart.
You've got the admiration and unyielding support of more people than you'll ever, ever guess. Ignore the pinheads on the television, do your job, keep your chin up and drag your ass back home to those who care about you ASAP. Go do your thing. We're thinking of you. _____________________

A Big Hooah, Verbena! Sent you boys a 60 lb. box full of memories of the girls back home in care of the USO at Camp Wolverine, Kuwait. Hope they get properly distributed. Please take care of our soldiers and marines, send them a care package through the USO: Go Army Above all BE SAFE! [left] [/left] [left]Disclaimer: Even though the package I sent states was meant for our boys fighting in the middle east, that does not mean the equally brave and committed women of our armed forces do not receive the same respect, admiration and support from me. It is a sad commentary that a disclaimer like this is necessary because of the obsession with political correctness in this country (and specifically in these forums).[/left] _____________________

Name is JOSEPH, Beau. And not only did I know they allow women in the military now, I assumed Verbena was a woman in the military, duh. coco professional writers should never use the word "duh"  (Edit: knowing how sensitive you are, coco, let me make explicit that I am teasing!) (Double Edit: you edited it out! how funny! and you knew that I was teasing. Alright! Now I just have to eliminate the word "cool" from my own vocabulary) (Triple Edit: stay safe Verbena!) |
