Hmm … none of the Q&A sessions I’ve heard mentioned anything about projectile-vomiting as a possible weapon against Iraqi soldiers;)

Keep safe and fight well, Dave. We’ll see you over here soon again:)

Good luck, stay safe and when you return to the boards, it will be a moment to relish. Possible mustard too. Oh, what a pickle.

WITH, please. I’d rather have Airman home than a neatly-folded flag and a fat check.

Go get 'em, **Airman Doors.** Do your job well, and come home safe and sound.

**MsRobyn** , if you want to e-mail me, please do. Ivylad was in the Navy, and he left for six months just two days after our daughter was born. Granted, it wasn’t during war time, but I know some of what you’re going through.

My heart is bursting with pride at all our troops. Go kick Saddam’s ass, chew some Feyadeen for lunch, and hand out some candy bars to the Iraqi kiddos, **Airman**.

Then come home safe.

**MsRobyn** , can you tell us exactly what **Airman’s** speciality is?

Good luck, and good hunting, **Airman Doors**

MsRobyn, I’ve wanted to send a care package to a soldier, but I hear that DoD is discouraging the practice unless you know a soldier personally. Will you know if he would be in a position that he’d appreciate some Wetones, Chapstick, sun block, and maybe a bag of Oreos? Or be able to pass them onto a front-line unit?

I know he’d appreciate the Oreos.

Airman’s specialty is Airborne Communications Operator. If you’ve heard the news as of late, there’ve been references to broadcasts coming from an Air Force plane… that’s Airman’s unit. His job is to operate the equipment that sends those broadcasts. (The leaflets that’re dropped advertise the broadcasts. His unit doesn’t drop them.)

No word yet, but I know his plane was diverted for mechanical problems. _sigh_
