I'm getting on a plane in a couple of days to head over to the mid-east to do my tour in the Sandbox.
Albeit, I've only been lurking here lately, it’s been a pleasure to come to your site and trash talk Cowboys-Redskins with you guys. I now, I'm seen as an antagonist around here, but, its all fun... right??
Anyway, I may or may not be back before the first Boys-Skins game, so I’ll catch you guys later.

Eh, it's nice to find a Cowboys fan who isn't totally retarded.
In all seriousness, best of luck to you and, please, stay in touch.

I take it you're a Marine with the possibility of a short deployment. Team allegience aside, stay safe and Semper Fi. Make it back safe so we can rub the season sweep in your face when you get back.

Hoooah, or hooorah, depending on whether you where a light tan tee-shirt or a dark green one.
Good luck, and good luck to all of your battle-buddies. Many, many of us on this list feel a stab in the gut every time we see that someone has been hurt.

Don't eat the food, drink the water, or talk to the locals.
Good luck.

I've already had a whirlwind tour through Kyrgystan, Afghanistan, and Qatar and now I'm finally settled in Qatar for the time being. I've had a chance to meet and talk with a bunch of Army Infantry and I gotta say, I'll no longer berate those fellas. Those guys go through death and casualties on a daily basis, and surprisingley can still keep a tongue in cheek about it all. I'd lose my mind personally.
I'm an Air Force Tactical Weather Systems Technician BTW.
Hey UK, I've also worked with a couple of the Queen's finest out here as well. Great chaps they are. They've also got the better pubs in thier compound!!

I guess the Middle East is a great place for keeping the beer warm.
And I bet those pubs do a pretty mean steak and kidney pie.

HA, funny
And you are doing what for your country?
and no, I'm not the run-of-the-mill Air Force guys who sit around on thier computers all day on message forums.......... damn...
Actually, I work with the Combat Weather folks attached to the Arrmy Infantry Units. It would scare the daylights out of most desk-flying Air Force members.
