Yeah! Some P-3C love in the Canteen. Thanks for posting those pics, the kids and oldtimers who keep the gear up and running are often forgotten. Couldn't do it without them!

Well, one episode is: At 4:30 am on Sunday morning the fire alarm went off. We had to get out of Dodge. It meant a walk down 7 flights of stairs in my jammies. No more than got to the out side of the hotel when the all clear signal rang. No way was I gonna walk 7 flights of stairs up to my floor. We took the service elevator. I went promptly back to bed and sleep.

Another lovely presentation. Thanks.
Army Sgt. 1st Class Keith Herrin, seated at right, advises Iraqi soldiers during a simulation exercise on Aug. 15 in Kirkuk, Iraq. In the ethnic melting pot of this northern Iraqi city, half the recruits speak Kurdish, the other half Arabic. Loyalties are complicated by regional ties to Kurdistan, the autonomous region to the north. For Iraqi military commanders, and the Americans working with them, the struggle is as much about training recruits for battle as it is instilling allegiance to an undivided Iraq.
Well Sahib, it is like this, if you want to be a leader in the new Iraq Military, you have to learn how to give a real good foot massage.

Hi Star...how are you tonight?
My country,' tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free, thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills, like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.
Our fathers' God, to thee,
Author of liberty, to thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by thy might, great God, our King.
