| ->> I don't normally do this BUT...after a 30+ day assignment and embed with the military in Afghanistan I would really like to give a shout out to a few people (now that I'm safe and sound in New Delhi). In no particular order.....Think Tank, I bought their ShapeShifter bag and yes it is OMG expensive BUT is a great must have piece of eqiupment. That backpack took more abuse than could be imagined and is still going strong! And thanks to Jack Gruber for his "must have list" here on SS and the JackBox....I had to have my stuff palletized by the Brits on a C-130...no if ands or buts about it....the 'puter came out fine....cause the JackBox is the s#@t!!! And thanks to SS member Sara Davis for the physical training program she put me through for preparation. Okay, probably a stupid post but I like giving credit where credit is due.Most of the time when we make photos there is something behind the scenes which "made" us "make" the photos. And these folks helped me out. |

Thank you for the great photos out of their. We loved having them. Now get your butt back here for some Duke games and hopefully we'll work together again at the Final four. I'll wire you in again. |

And also a big thanks to our armed forces, the subject of Chuck's photos, I would think. |
