Glad you are back; I know the feeling! I served OCONUS with 2/3 and 3/3 in 2002 and 2003. Just returned home from Fort Campbell after doing some time with 5th SFG.
I have a 73 white convertible.

WELCOME BACK MELVIN! I see you're still into the CAPS thing. JUST JOKING!
To put my words in context, about five years ago MELVIN was the MASTER at shouting on the Forum. IT BECAME HIS TRADEMARK. Great to have you back....Enjoy your new job. Your last was pretty heavy on the mind.

Glad to see you made it home safely. I wondered what happened. I remember your fiber optic post waaaaay back.
