Hiya from Middle East

[Gustav]

Hiya folks,

Just thought I would pop in and say hello. Work is keeping me busy over here. Things are going on and we all pretty much doing well except for the few events that have happened recently.

Since I have been here, I have noticed more days our flag has been at 1/2 mast than at full mast. Each time one of the 4 countries (US,UK,CANADA,AUS) looses a soldier the flag is at half mast .... again today this was the case .

Its getting pretty cold here now .. this morning it felt like about 2C .. friggin freezzzing ...

Will pop in later one and say ello agian and all ... Take care everyone, ride safe and I can't wait to be home with you all .

Gustav.

Keep ur head clear and come back safe.

[ddmoore]

as FG said, look after yourself mate!

I have huge respect for what you boys and girls do for our country - whether i agree with the decision the soldiers go or not doesn't change my view on what you folks do for everyone back home.

2 degrees? that aint cold, weve already seen -4 here in Kazakhstan, and expecting -40 at some point in the middle of winter, Id love if it only got to 2 degrees haha.

Seriously though, thats the only thing Im envious about, stay safe over there.

Ooh, bring me back a toy!

Look after yourself and your buddies Gustav.

Maybe convince the commanders to NOT lower the flags to half mast, that way it will demoralise the 'enemy' rather than them getting confidence from seeing the flags at half-mast so often.

No disrespect intended to the fallen, but I keep thinking that the flags at half-mast is too visible a sign to your opponents.
