                        thanks for your prayers guys.  I don't really know very much about it, and it wouldn't be right to comment or speculate right now. 

                        Semper Fi,

                        All 10 missing crewmen are now being reported as "Accounted For."  Unfortunately that doesn't sound good.  My prayers are with them and their families.

                        Chris,

                             I'll drop by the flightline the next time I'm down there; should be around April or so.  We just moved a MRH out of the area and dropped off a ZA9 MGB.

                        Hey Guys,

                        Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers.  Everybody knows that it's a dangerous business, but that doesn't make it any easier.  My thoughts and prayers are with these Marines' Families. 

                        Carl, if you're coming to the Air Station around April 21st, you can come to my EAS party. 

                        Semper Fi,

                        Chris

                        Chris,

                            Thanks for the invite!  I'd love to attend but my wife told me that my Reserve Duty orders just showed up in the mail yesterday!  Talk about irony, I'll be back on Active Duty (ADSW work) while you're getting out.  Can't complain, headed to Camp Smith, HI.  Could be worse places. 

                            You have my email address, keep in touch!

                        Semper Fi!


                        Carl
