Hello everyone,

I just got in from 22 hours of flying yesterday and boy are my arms
tired. I had to fly to Dubai in the UAE and then to Amsterdam as all
flights to Europe from Kuwait had been cancelled. While I can't talk at
length about exactly what I was doing, I can say that the
tracking system which my team was installing on support vehicles helped
command to divert a supply column away from an ambush/minefield in
southern Iraq in the early stages of the campaign and there were 3
instances like this which I know of personally. So, things like that
definitely made all the hard work we put in (12 - 14 hours a day) very
worth while.

As soon as I get rested up I will tell more.

Thanks to you all for keeping me up to date on the real world while I
was away.

John

Glad to hear the good news, Moni. I hope everyone else comes home safely, too!

Thank you so much everyone! This guy is so much more like a little brother to me than just a friend. What a relief for me, his family and his friends.

Hoping for even swifter progress in hopes another friend won't be shipped out next month. At least he'll be heading into a much friendlier territory but chances are, he'll be en route with supplies as they make their way through Iraq.

I hope everyone gets home safely too, Mark.
