Congrats at making it to the Hobbit Hole, Steve. As you may have noticed, you're a major topic of conversation today.
I'll post the email you sent me a little later for the group to read. But you have the basics down pat. If you don't get around to learning HTML tricks so you can do fancier posts, we'll understand. We know you have a vey important fulltime job which has to come first.
Heh..... well, that was true till we started swoooning like schoolgirls over actors of all things!
smaagee, don't be frightened! This too will soon pass!
All of us are very greatful for what you guys are doing for us. There seems to be some concern as to using an unsecure radio in a combat zone. Let me assure that all of us are well aware not to broadcast secure information over an open frequency. We use them primarily on convoys to alert the convoy commander of any problems we may encounter, such as breakdowns, or if we get any hostile actions directed at us, we can then notify everyone else. Once you are being fired at, security is no longer an issue, they know where you are and what you are doing. It becomes important at that point to communicate with everyone else in the group which allows us to effectively suppress the hostile actions. Once again thank you for everything.
