It is peculiar to say "Welcome back!" since you've left and haven't come back. So, "Welcome There!" or something like that.
Glad you made it home safe and sound, in any event.
I too am having difficulties with the KS servers, particularly the KeenSpot.
Thanks to all for the warm re-welcomes

hello all and merry christmas!
It's time for the monthly report from the desert fox! as you could expect, things have been picking up a little as time goes on, cant go into too much thou. :-/ have been completely cut off from my web site, so no updates for that, period...
Been wandering around, meeting new and interesting peeps, including the crew of some Navy P-3's, who were all very nice. Also made friends with a cpl peeps in CE (civil engeineering) who are starting a D&D group to help pass the in between time quicker. needless to say, is turning out to be a very enjoyable group.
on top of that, I was interviewed by one of the reporters from Public Affairs for a story he is writing, called "Base X meets Generation Y." has the looks of being a very good article, will send u all a copy when it is published.
and the Brits. where to go with our UK counterparts? These fellows are
probably some of the most awesome, friendly, close knit guys and gals I have ever had the priveladge of partying with! My thanks to the MC of their crew, Wolfie, for coordinating the events and for supplying the beverages! And to their motto, which I agree with 100%, work hard, play hard.
I certainly hope to get togeather with them again! One question thou, are they immune to alcohol? we may never know...
paper work has been submitted for my 3rd Air Medal, and am working towards my 4th, with high potential for a 5th before I leave from this deployment. I also just found out that one of my missions in Turkey from back in 2001 also counts towards Air Medals, which is kinda kewl, just need to dbl check the mission # to get the credit from it.
I am watching less movies and reading more on this trip as opposed to the
last trip here, even thou I have watched about 40 movies or so... not to
mention the 1st series of Enterprise.
speaking of which, as some of u may or may not know, I am taking up writing short stories. have about 3 at once I am working on, just kuz I cant settle on any one just yet. u may see em, u may not, just depends on how good I feel about it when I done...
the base lan shop is still having a fun time deciding which sites to block
or not to block, it seems techfox is open yet again. hirez has yet to be
blocked, but u never know. all web based e-mail is also still blocked,
including my Tinker acnt, which will prob have 1k+ messages by the time I
can check it. I also wouldnt be suprised if my other addys are at max
capacity when I return either (or blocked, u know how some get if
inactive...).
My camera is bursting with pics, cept I have yet to find the guy who has the smart card-cloppy converter thingie so I can upload em onto this machine so I can get em to yas. will do as soon as I find em! Other than that, not much has been going on, just trying to keep occupied while I sit around and twiddle my thumbs.
hope u all enjoyed your christmas, and enjoy your new year! and feel free to share this e-mail to those who I may have forgotten to add to my distro list.
Watching over you always,
Airborn Fox
