Well some of the members and I were wondering about Pete since he was called up and I sent him a PM. I got a response back and I'll let him speak for himself:

Hey Jeff, do me a favor and let the guys know I am doing fine. I can't get to a computer cause they are very limited and I really don't have much time. I managed to get on today for a little while. I'm still at [Fort] Bliss [Texas] and haven't left for Iraq yet. Can't really say much cause they are monitoring our traffic but things are going great and training is rough but good.

I try to drop in from time to time. See you guys in a year.

Thanks for posting this Jeff. While I don't know Pete, I have seen his posts here. Its good to know how he is doing.

Good to hear that he is taking it like a real Trooper.

We have a guy in Work that has been their for about 6 months now kind of wild when he called up on phone and held it out you could hear bombs going off in background.

Wild place and I will leave it at that or Jim will be censoring me.

Good to hear from Pete. Tell him to keep his head down and best of luck.
