Yes you have read the heading correct. With the advaces in todays Army siganl corps, I'm saying hello from Iraq. i have been away from you all there at Armorama for awhile and just wanted to touch base to say hello and that I am doing well. Rob G. I have some great pics for you. Mostly of knocked out Iraqi armor, but there is plenty of them. Hope all of you in the Armorama communty are doing well. Hopefully I'll be home before too long and able to get back into my pile o' plastic. Keep the glue flowing!! "Q"

Thanks for what you're doing. Sorry they wouldn't let us finish it in '91. Photos of healthy Brads and LAVs are always nicer than knocked out Iraqi stuff..... Jim

Thanks for the kind words and supoprt from all of you out there. I have searched hi and lo and there is not a damn hobby shop to be found..( attempted humor) We are making the best of our current situation as only GI's know how to do. Its amazing the things we can come up with for entertainment in this devestated country. I celebrated my 20th year in uniform here and am happy to say that this will be it for me. There is too much out there to enjoy and I'm missing alot of it. As some one said prior, glad to see the torch has been passed. As a Scout/Sniper I am not having all that much employment, and am thankful for that. Enough has been done, lets get their new government in place and all go have a beer or 12. Anyway, Thanks again for all the support. Looking forward to getting home and getting some of my un-built kits built. Take care and happy modeling. "Q" #:-)
