Lemme introduce Fats95 (William) from Crosslanes! Pal welcome and we look forward to some pics and chat!

Joe

 

First off I want to say HI to you'll, I read the thread when time premits to see what's going on back home. I'm currently at a fire base in Afghanistan. No longer carrying a weapon. But working the logical side to get supplies to the war fighters. But if your ever in need of assistants and your in my neck of the woods, even if I'm not there I have a lot of friends that are just a phone call away.

 

Welcome fats95, be safe and thanks for all you do for us here at home.
When you return we will need to meet with all in this area!

Rod

 

I saw that reference to Afghanistan but wern't sure if you were still deployed.

Stay safe my friend! We'll have cold frosty drinks waiting for your return!

Joe

 

Welcome aboard William! That's one fine lookin' truck you have there.

Thanks for your service and be safe over there! Hope you get home soon.

 

Welcome to The WV chapter of FTE.

My nephew is leaving here next week to join you there.
Just finished his training in NC today, we are having a cook out to meet his girlfriend this weekend, then off to Afghanistan middle of next week.

 

What unit is he with?

 

Hey William...pm me your mailing address...we can put together a lil care package for ya!

My youngest son (pavelow gunner) just got back from his final trip to Iraq...six trips total. SO, we are pretty used to sendin stuff to remind youse guys over there that we appreciate what you're doin' for us over here.

Joe

 

I forgot to ask what unit he was with.

Air Force on loan to the Army, doing training at Bragg.

I can't figure out why he has been doing Army work on all of his deployments so far.

Installing armor on trucks first tour.
Escorting convoys on the second tour.

Sounds like a ground force on this tour with PRT training.

 

Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) the biggest one here is FOB Sharana, never hear of them being hit, unlike the smaller ones. A lot of time the AF runs the FET (Facility Engineer Team) they are the one that help maintain the sites, i.e. roads on base, building new housing and warehouses.

 

Well he should be there by Friday.
Leaving here today.

He is attached to an Army unit.

 

HELLO

Is any body out there??

 

Yes.....there is life here!


LMAO!

Joe

 

Yep... a little bit of life still here...

 

[Yup, still here also, even got to watch the eer's on tv this morning, beening 8 1/2 hrs ahead of the east coast made the game come on here at 0400. but it was worth it[/PHP][/PHP]
