CAMP RUN A MUCK THANKS GREAT BRITAIN!!!

Camp Run-A-Muck Originator - Tomkow6

 

The United Kingdom, consisting of Great Britain (England, Wales, and Scotland) and Northern Ireland, is twice the size of New York State. England, in the southeast part of the British Isles, is separated from Scotland on the north by the granite Cheviot Hills; from them the Pennine chain of uplands extends south through the center of England, reaching its highest point in the Lake District in the northwest. To the west along the border of Wales—a land of steep hills and valleys—are the Cambrian Mountains, while the Cotswolds, a range of hills in Gloucestershire, extend into the surrounding shires.

 

About 31,000 British troops have already been sent to the Gulf. These include 26,000 soldiers, drawn from 1 UK Armoured Division, 7 Armoured Brigade (The Desert Rats), 16 Air Assault Brigade, and 102 Logistics Brigade. About 4,000 marines are being sent, from 40 and 42 Commando of 3 Commando Brigade. Prime Minister Tony Blair told MPs on Monday there was no way the US and Britain would back down over Iraq disarming - despite opposition at home and abroad. He said he was prepared to gamble his career on the issue, saying he did not want to be remembered as someone who "did nothing" about terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. Thank you Tony Blair!!

[beachn4fun]

Ok, now that I have been able to compose myself.............Good morning Everyone. Good morning/afternoon/evening to our AWESOME military and our allies. A special THANK YOU to the UK. And, Tony Blair......yum....oh sorry.....lost myself again for a moment......(clears throat and resumes)........TO ALL of our allies...........if it weren't for you.........this may never of happened..........

YOU GUYZ ROCK, TOO! Aren't we a good team? Yes......Yes......Yes......

Now I am going to go catch up on the thread. Which won't take long cause I managed to get here before post #100! I might even be able to get in a few personals today.

Since today is Camp day I will be popping in frequently in between that nasty four-letter word......W......O......R.......K........

[beachn4fun]

Good morning Tom. Whatz ya doing?

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS))Morning, beach. How's it going?

[Old Sarge]

Greetings, Canteeners, Troops,
and All the Ships at Sea!

And a big "'ALLO, 'ALLO!" to our English cousins who visit us today!

Please forgive Sarge for waxing Brit this morning, as this thread strikes a specific chord - Sarge's Eldest Niece married a British sniper. Nephew-in-law works for Virgin Air as a loadmaster nowadays, contracted to MAC. He flies over equipment and supplies - and carries precious cargo back to Dover AFB...

Funny story: when they were in the courtship, N-I-L took Niece back to England to meet the family. She was all the rage at the pubs! N-I-L summoned The Lads around the table: "Come on, you lot, listen to the Yankee Bird!" They were highly taken with her southern drawl...

England, what's given us so much popular culture, common law, customs and traditions - here's to you all!

Well, a few Personals, then let's get going:

BETSY/TONKIN: THANK you, for a wonderful Friday Camp Thread!

THE CANTEEN AT LARGE: Sarge had every good intention of FReeping last night, but the box at home had a catastrophic memory failure, requiring two re-boots with the case open before things settled down. Here's to hoping a new computer isn't on the way...

TOMKOW: BEHAVE YOURSELF!

Sarge will be in the area all day, so Let's Have Fun!

SARGE

DISCLAIMER: If you'd like to be on/off Sarge's Canteen Roll Call, FReepmail with details!

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning to everyone at the FR Canteen.

[beachn4fun]

[beachn4fun]

WaHooooo.....Arrowhead.......you like the big toys, huh?

[beachn4fun]

For right now, yes!!! LOL. I am going to have to stop looking at those pictures, otherwise I'll not get much done besides stay at the Canteen and look a those pictures!

I see those gremlins must have attacked your computer last night! They sure are getting around!

[USVet6792Retired]
