Talk to the kid last week, he said all is well, that he left camp & is embedded in the field where ever he is suppose to be.
I asked how he was talking & he said on a satellite phone. I said "Ohhh one of those 5pound bricks w/a stick in it". He laughed & said YEPPPP that's what it looks like. Was only able to talk for about 5 minutes which was great because the last time we spoke it was a 30 second call telling us he made it to whatever camp they sent him to. He wasn't sure how long he be out in the field, but told us he was planning on coming home on leave for an extended time since he has 50plus day leave coming to him.
Just thought I'd give you folks an updated....joe
