sailor99 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Glad you spoke over the weekend. I am sure he is a really busy guy at the moment getting used to operational routines and his new surroundings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepigeon Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Talk to Lou this afternoon He is said the ride to camp was awefull. I think he's experiencing some cultural shock. He needs a pillow, blanket, computer speakers and a power strip. Who else do you call but your Mommy for the comforts of home? So I'm sending him those things tomorrow... If you would like to send Lou letters please send me a message and I will give you the address. This is going to be a long 7-10 months..

louiedogg03 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hey there everyone, it's Lou here sending everyone a message straight from good old Iraq! It's not so bad out here, the foods good the rooms are ok and the wind is never ending but way to strong for a vented lol. God if you worry about sand filling your kite on the beach let me tell you I find sand in all my gear even stuff I don't bring with me. All is well though, I don't actually start working patrols till the 13th. Hope everyone back there is having fun!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailor99 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Not a bad idea at all Antman. If it could commemorate all the nations making a contribution I think it would add to the sentiment of the kite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevepigeon Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Talked to Lou today.. He is doing well and starting to go out on patrols. He is waiting for the next package to arrive (sandles, books, ect) I'm hoping that we'll see him post again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Best wishes to Lou. When this page loads into my browser I get a pop-up window asking for a password to access the sunsetflyers.com server. My guess is that the Sunset Flyers site is currently locked down and someone on this page has a graphic in their signature that links to that site. I don't think it is a virus or something wrong with the Revolution Forums. I bet that as soon as the sunsetflyers.com site is back up to normal, or if the webmaster temporarily removes image links to sunsetflyers.com, the problem goes away.

KiteLife Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Lou, I just removed the image link in your signature that was pointing to the sunsetflyers.com server... No biggie, just add it back in when the site is unlocked. Thanks Mike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louiedogg03 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Hello there everyone! I know it's been a while since I posted anything but you don't really get that much time off over here. I been going out on patrols everyday, there actually pretty boring because im out there at night and no one is aloud to be out past 10pm. The plus part about working nights is that you never have to deal with the heat. Last night I was out there it is was pretty cold. Overall I am doing really good out here. Things are pretty calm. Hope all is well for everyone back there. Thanks for all the posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
