FASTBOAT TOUGH is on a distinguished road
Fallout Re: Question about Ukraine OOB...

Just got back very late Sat. night after 4 days out West to see U2 in concert at the Sphere. Yesterday was a recovery day after the both of us walked just over 25-26 miles in those four days in sandals. Don't mess with CINCLANTHOME she can hold her "own powder" quite well.

So, I figured, I'd look in and saw my Marine Buddy is on top of her game with the above post. Now about the APS issue with FEP, WELL THAT CAN WAIT UNTIL ANOTHER DAY.

It appears the USA is certainly taking the same road to FOC with the M1A2C as they did with the M1A2 SEP 2, where the "magic number" was at least 8 fully equipped and trained Battalions as my memory serves from my submission a few years back (In FB Patch Tread.).

As a reminder, the M1A2D as posted is DOA.

I know we go back and forth much like Don and I do as well. At the end of the day, I know no matter the outcome, it's all "water under the bridge" and we move on.

You have my utmost respect and I've never forgotten that you and IMP (John) were there when I first posted out here and guided me through those initial (And at times current ones as well.) rough patches.

I've made a point to NEVER forget those that have been there in my life no matter the circumstances. And I've personally thanked every one of them. In that regard, my conscious is clear before the "big move" occurs.

Though I'm quite content to stay where I am for a little while longer if that's OK with the "Big Boss"

If anyone thinks you made it on your own, then now would be a good time to wake up and get yourself a STRONG cup of coffee/tea (Or whatever. I like an Ovaltine with a couple of shots of St. Bernards from Londonderry/Derry (N) IE about 5 times a year. ) or "smell the roses".

Now that I've digressed, I'll just say good night and have a good morning!

Regards,
Pat
