Hello from Iraq

[JohnA]

Hello all,

Some of you may remember me. I used this forum briefly until my reserve unit got activated last November and had to leave my job. Well, I've been in Iraq for 3 months now and came to see what all was going on in the MasterCAM world. I guess there's no 10 yet, as I thought there might be, so I'm still not too far behind the curve. I hope to get a laptop soon and put the demo on it so I can keep brushed up and not be too rusty when I get home next year. I can already tell by reading some of the posts that I have forgotten some stuff.

The heat here is incredible already and it's just June. They say August is the worst month so I'm not looking forward to it. So far no casualties in my unit so I'm thankful for that, considering what all has happened since we've been here in Taji.

Everyone take care and I'll be back in business as soon as I get home from this blast furnace.

 

Sincerely,

 

JohnA

Awsome to hear from you John! Thanks for thinking about us. We're constantly thinking (and often talking about) you guys/girls over there and we greatly appreciate what you're doing.

 

Is there anything you need over there that we can help with? We sent some mags, alcohol, spam and other stuff to a friend that was there, but he never got it as he was shot and returned to the US before it arived.

 

Take care, God Bless and THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello from "HOME" John and your unit.

 

Just a BIG THANK YOU for all the sacrifices you and everybody else in the Armed Forces are making for the rest of us. It isn't easy seeing all the negative media, but we all know that you guys/gals are doing the best you can in a very difficult situation. Hope this finds all your unit healthy and safe. Take care and write back.

For all the men in your unit "HAPPY FATHERS DAY". I hope you all can come "Home" soon.

 

God Bless You All and Thank You

John,

 

THANK YOU

 

My prayer are for your saftey. I, too, know what is like to serve your country in tough times. I was in the service right after high school in 1965. Nothing prepares a person for war.

 

Tell your unit, that the guys/gals of the forum stand behind them with prayers and hopes for their survival and success.

 

May God bless everyone.

 

Hey, when you get back to the USA and your job, we will be here to help bring you up-to-speed with MasterCAM.

I agree with everyone else, stay save, and stay away from any suspicious looking al-qaeda nuts, especially those who like chopping heads off.

 

[Dan_AKA_ROY]

Take care and stay safe.

 

Oh, and stay cool. I can just imagine the heat over there.

 

God Bless America.
