Ask me how I know.

Truer words have never been spoken - very good advice.

Dr. Ryan,
Please give us your snail mail address when you can so we can make sure you get some real mail.

Dave

Don't list your APO here! But you could give it to a trusted board member, who could pass it on to others via PM. Yes, we can send little things your make your deployment bearable if not enjoyable. Godspeed & thank you for your service!

DonDavis 02-06-2003 12:28 PM

I don't know Ryan personally, but I'm thinking he gets mail via (F)leetPO.
That true, Ryan?

Thank you all for your kind words and support.

Well guess what... I tried to wait to the last minute before I posted this and as soon as I did, things changed. Many of you know that change is all you can count on in situations like this.
We are on hold, destination unknown and who knows when we may be leaving now. I might be able to make SBRI after all!

Ask me how I know.

This is very true, I have nothing to add, you said it all.

To be honest, I don't know what that is but assume "FleetPO" would be for a ship? We are land based when we're not in the air.

I'll give you guys an update when I know more and again, Thank you.

Paul Crowther 02-06-2003 12:54 PM

Thanks for being there for us. Believe me, a lot of people here really DO recognize what our troops mean for us, and we do care about you all.

Godspeed.

Thank you for your service. God bless.

DonDavis 02-06-2003 01:05 PM

Army and Air Force gat mail via APO which is Army Post Office.
Navy and Marines use FPO, Fleet Post Office.

Coast Guard.....mmm, not sure.

uh, AF guys, is that correct for you?

Bob's Flat-Six 02-06-2003 01:18 PM

Ryan: Looking forward to meeting you Saturday, unless things change. And thank you for your service to our country

God speed, I was in Berlin 40 years ago during the Berlin crisis the press and history has made is seem scarier and more tense than it was.

Come back safe and sound. I know you won't forget the sound of an air cooled P-Car.
