I can't thank you enough for what you are doing in Iraq to help promote freedom there as well as keeping the USA secure. Hang in there and stay safe!

Hello everyone, I'm in the military currently deployed to Iraq. I just wanted everyone to know one of the highlights of my day is getting on the e60.net forum. It somehow makes me feel as if I'm surrounded by friends. Reading the many topics, jokes and everything else is better than reading the news. Thanks to everyone associated with the forum in keeping me entertained. You guys are the best
Just curious. I see you are located in Germany. Are you in the US military based in Germany or just in German military?

In any case, its an honor to have you here and be safe.

cwohughes:

1. You have excellent taste in your choice of car color.
2. I am proud to be a member of a forum with those serving our country, like you.
3. If you need anything sent over, please let me know. I know how important "care packages" can be.
4. Be safe...your e60 misses you, just like everyone else you know!

Take care! - Calvin
Calvin, if you could somehow arrange to have my car sent over here it would be greatly appreciated. I need some decent transportation . I know it's a pretty big care package Your ride is

Be safe out there Chief! Just think how good it's gonna feel when you hop behind that wheel during R&R... You're gonna feel like a teenager losing your big V again!
yea, I know what you mean, can't wait. It's going to be awhile though brother, R&R isn't scheduled until Jun 09 ....don't say it I know. I told my daughter I would make it to her graduation and I plan on keeping my word.

The upside is I'm saving so much money over here, I'm going to have fun with the mods

I'm located at FOB Al Kasik in the Western Ninewah Province near the Syrian border. I'm an logistical advisor to the 3IA Division. Do you have any idea of where you're going or what you'll be doing?

Stay low....and serpentine!

I got to hear some "serious" stories from the son of my next door neighbor who is a marine. He was a sniper over there in Iraq and returned from his 2nd tour about 6 months ago.

Stay safe....and THANKS!!
