Thanks for the update, Robin. I hope you and Aaron are holding up OK. Please let Dave know I’m thinking of him and hoping for his safety. ---

What does Sergeant Doors do when he is doing it? What is his AFSC? ---

Best of luck to you, **Doors**. I just came back from an 8-month deployment, myself. For the most part, it was pretty dull, tedious, and uneventful (with only just a few exceptions). Here’s hoping yours is just as, if not more, uneventful! /salute ---

From my short experience with military food, I think it would be a good idea to send some Pepto-Bismol. (Operational Air Force food isn’t nearly as bad as the food at most boot camp squadrons, but still…) ---

> [@Paul in Saudi](#): > > What does Sergeant Doors do when he is doing it? What is his AFSC? His AFSC is 1A351, which has something to do with broadcasting (I don’t know the exact title).
