HELLO HELLO! I’m back from Iraq, and now a Master Sgt (MSgt, E-7 for the USAF)! It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten on FR, as most Internet is terrible out there. I just realized that our good friend Tonk is no longer with us, and I’m truly sad - he was an inspiration to me and others.

My goodness. Long time no see.
It truly has been a long time since we’ve seen you. Happy to know you are doing well.
Some things have changed around here but not the Canteen’s appreciation of the troops.
Thanks for stopping in.
And, as always thanks for your service.

No, you are on the left....you see, it's a coordination issue, for example, here you are dancing, sort of.....Thanks to Kathy in Alaska, I know this stuff about you.....of course, playing the game is the most important thing, not winning (except for me).

Snow in early October? Sounds like we may be in for a cold winter.
Well, as of yesterday, they are still trying to locate several trucks.
