...Off the the Sandbox?

[Petrograde]

Well,.. It looks like I'll be headed over to the Sandbox within the next 6-8 months. I'm basically waiting for a slot to open up in my field (NDT), I could be gone a lot sooner if I choose to take an aircraft mechainc slot. ...we'll see.

So, it looks like I'll have another Marauder sooner than I thought.:banana2:

Also,.. when my tour is up, I'll be coming back to DFW. :D

You keep'em flyin' over there Tom. Go...and get yourself back...get you that new Marauder...and get the heck out of Killeen!!!

[Paul T. Casey]

Tom, best to you. When you get back and are ready to make some big bucks, get ahold of me. There is about a 25% shortage of NDT techs right now, with the forecast to get worse (less available techs). I can get you hooked up pretty good.

Well,.. It looks like I'll be headed over to the Sandbox within the next 6-8 months.

You take care over there, Tom. And stay safe inside the wire. :D

[BruteForce]

Take care Tom. Keep yer head down! :)

Tom - Be careful. Thanks.

[jabird56]

Keep it safe when your over there. I have 3 of my guys over there in downtown Baghdad right now. My civilians rotate in and out every 4 months.

Tom, we'll miss you in the NTM group--our prayers and best wishes go with you. Be sure to keep in touch. I'm sure you will be able to find a Marauder when you're ready. Then you can have all the fun of detailing it out :D We'll be anxiously awaiting your return to our activities. God Speed, My Friend, Maury

[teamrope]

Keep it safe Tom, and can you bring me back 5 gallons of prop wash when you come back? :D

[Petrograde]

Thanks Y'all..

A friend of mine just returned on vacation, he said the living condions have greatly improved since I was there in '03. ..and no,.. contractors are not allowed to leave the wire unless we fly out. You don't have to tell me twice! :P

I'll be looking forward to getting another Marauder and seeing you NTM folks again!

Thanks for the kind words.

Good luck Tom, Keep yourself safe.
