Well now this is just getting ridiculous. You toss a coin and the site is either up or it's not!
Hey Joe
Just checking that you and yours came through Helen without major damage?
My extended family down around St Pete made it with just some power outages.
I guess that is one of the non-pers of living in sunny Florida:
When checking in they did say Helen was a bad one.
anyway stay safe!

Hello my friend, all is well on my end, no damage, briefly lost power but that was it. I'm glad your family made it through ok, this was definitely a nasty storm. With a little luck, it'll be the last one but we're still somewhat in the middle of hurricane season.

Hope you and your family are well!

Warm Regards,
Joe
Question: On Tuesday I have a patient coming in who served in Germany during the 80's and left as a Colonel. Now I can't say do you know so and so when you don't know so and so's name. However, what unit were you with and I could run that by him. We get along really well and think he has way too much respect for me as an ordinary O.D. Oh, he is a West Point grad name of Connolly.

I don't know if you looked at that video I put up in Field Mess cause half way in there is lot's of talk on force structure and what each command wants. Both guys discussing it are retired Navy officers talking about what could result from this essay so to speak.

Hey Mike,

I was in the 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry/4th Battalion, 16th Infantry (we changed designation in March 1983), 1st Infantry Division (Forward), Goeppingen, GE from OCT 1981-1984. Went to FT Benning for initial Officer training March - SEP 81. Returned OCT 84 - JUN 85 to Benning for more schooling. Then I was at FT Stewart, GA, JUL 85-JUN 89 in 3rd Battalion, 19th Infantry, 2nd Brigade & G3 24th Infantry Division as well as Bradley Fielding Team. From there headed to FT Lee and have been here since.

I haven't seen the video. I'll head over & check it out!

And if I haven't said previously, Buck Buchanan here. Real name is John but that last name means instant nickname!

Got a third of the way through the video talking 2025 when the guys building a fence in my yard cut my cable and I lost internet. Working off a hotspot now. I am in about 75% agreement with those guys in theory...but I have always considered Heritage & Cato as the Anti-Christ!

Haven't got a chance to look at force structure info and looking forward to it. I am intrigued to know what a Squid brown & black shoe think about Army force structure!!!

Hi Joe,
Just to let you know that my Florida plans are a bit up in the air. My brother-in-law who I was planning on visiting, unfortunately passed.
So I don't know when I'll be visiting his family down in Florida, maybe sometime late fall or maybe next year. I'll let you know as I do want to see them again; as well as seeing Florida again. And Jacksonville I have yet to see, as well as maybe having dinner with you there.
Anyway, stay well my friend.

Hi Arne, I'm very sorry to hear that, please send my condolences to your family.
Whenever you're able to come to Florida, I'll be waiting with a drink in hand for both us.

Take care my friend,
Joe
Hey Joe,
When the Swedish flag goes to the top in Brussels, you can close close a thread on a high
.A picture of the flag going to tops would be a nice touch!
Myself I'll be up in Sweden, having to take my cousin the jug of Irish I lost!:redface: I was sure that one of the Three Amigos would somehow; again, delay the signing! Best bet I ever lost!:biggrin:
When the flag goes up, so will our glasses!
Skål!

Definitely need to post a Swedish flag but we'll leave the thread open for future commentary. Congratulations on "losing" the bet! Have a glass for me!!
