Got this pic and message from John...wanted me to post it so you all can see he is still around and well!
he cannot upload pics from where he is...

Great hearing from him!

Thanks for posting the pic Bjorn! The military NET here won't let me post photos to this site for some reason.

Anyways, alls well here in Afghanistan (OEF). I'll be bouncing back and forth between here and Iraq (OIF) for a while visiting troops and checking on the equipment we've been sending them.

Best wishes to all.

no problem...anytime!

Good luck there. We just lost two of our boys in Afghanistan. One was the son of our general, who had only been appointed Commander in Chief the previous day. Some first day, loosing your own son...

Best of luck to you guys there!

Best to you Nash. And THANK YOU!

I will be hoisting a few Shiners, Negro Modellos, Red Stripes, and St.Paulie Girls this week at the Pate Swap Meet at Texas Motor Speedway. I will do it all in honor of you. I'll be headed out in a couple hours.

Take er easy and safe Nash...

Where's that firebird photo on the wall ?

Who's the good look'n dude?

Take care...and take some out for us

Hurry back! Looking forward to some new Nashville video...

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

you mean the guy on the right? (our view point) LOL

Nash, looks like your good for anything then

Thanks gang, I'll stay safe and be back cruising as soon as I can.

Wouter, that incident (death) you mentioned is a horrible story here. The father had literally JUST given his acceptance speech, and a few hours later was given the news of his sons death. Some here say the son may have been specifically targeted by local Taliban, but your intel folks say it was just terribly bad coincidence.

Such a sad story. Thank you to your country for helping us here.

Be safe Nash. And thanks to you and all our military personnal who sacrifice, so that we here can live the lives that we live.

Thanks for checking in Nash, take it easy over there and be safe!

Looking forward to your return... As well as all our military friends....

Brett!

Hi Nash.

Hi Nash. You take good care of yourself and be safe. Know that we support you and all the military all the way.

Take care of yourself Nash. Get back safe.

Godspeed nash

NEWSFLASH! There's been a Nash sighting.....

Security I imagine. The cost of being at war these day. Indeed, be safe and arrive back here in one piece. Like GTOken I'll raise a glass in your honor.

I knew it was not ALL work and glory...get back safe my man...watch out for those tally whackers...

Nash buddy, I have the privildge to serve the CGSC and my respect is beyond words for you guys..

Alls well here, need to stay just a bit longer to finish some business along the border with Pakistan! Soldiers, Airmen, Navy and Marines are ALL kicking butt here in Afghanistan.

I'm sending a photo to Bjorn so he can post it for me (since I can't on this MIL network). Thanks to all for continued thoughts and prayers.

Good to hear from you! Keep up the very important work, much appreciated!! As you can see, our thoughts are with you.

got the pic, but cant post it until tomorrow...got to load it on my pic site at work first....


hadnt planned to go in today....I think its the first sunday this year...but the pool is great today...pool is 80F ...feels a little 'cool' in the sunny weather...great!

but ...
tomorrow!

Great to hear things are going as well as can be expected while your there again Nash. Thanks for checking in!

Bjorn, your killing me here... were stuck in Junuary in Seattle...

B!

back in to check fgf...Brett, its 92F and partly sunny and a breeze here...feels great...had a milkshake at the pool...in an hour or so, Andy and I will take our birds to our usual "sunday Firebird Starbucks trip"....
I hope its not still snowing up there!

here Guys is "Nashville" with his newest weapon....

I think the US needs to send some updated weaponry to the guys in Afghanistan!
dont you?

look at that arsenal!

COOL! Bring that sucker home and use it in muzzle loader season!

Jim, I bought that one and already mailed it home for my son. Those "camel rifles" can be bought for 80-120 if you barter enough with the locals.

LOL Now all your son needs is a flyin' carpet! I can't help but think of the Ali Baba from the childhood books.

I want one.....! looks like it has the bore of an elephant gun, bet she would kick like a mule...altho i assume it is for decoration only??

Glad to know all is well. As for modern wepons, a while ago, I posted a picture of a standard-ussue Ethopian weapon of the 60's--a hand forged spear head. With that, they ain't doing bad in Afganistan.

John, is Afganistan similar to Pakistian? One my places of visit when I was a kid. Out of all the thrid world places in which I spent my formitive years (I came back to America with the notion that a 'gentelmen' of any upbringing always faced away from the street and would pee against the building, not facing the street, pissin in the drainage ditch) Karatchi was the biggest, super shithole in the world.

Amervo, I don't know you nor have I ever met you. However, your posts crack me up from time to time because your either slamming someone, something or someplace and you pretty much just say whatever you are thinking. So at the very least you provide some entertainment... LOL

Almost done with business here, should head back to the U.S. shortly.

BTW, Obama (not Osama) and his entourage just came through here a few hours ago. We were too busy to stop our work and do any "meet-n-greet", but there were plenty of soldiers/civilians out on the tarmac waving at his jet.

Now...If McCain stops by while I'm here I will certainly drop what I'm doing and try and shake his hand; his time as a POW in Vietnam can never be replaced or paid back.

read about Obamas trip there....think he`ll "change" his mind after the visit? lol

hope to see you back here soon!

were planning a cruise in tonite with the HALF group, its Andy Hewes` 60`th today !

Glad all is well with you. I am with you 100% with McCain and his service to our country. ANYONE who serves our country is a true Patriot, thank you all for your service!

Good to here from ya.

Obama Bin Laden.
For the 1st time, i agree with Jesse Jackson.
He should be castrated.

LOLOL That's the first time that SOB ever said something that made sense!

Nash...come home.
