Default So here I am, middle of the Atlantic

Hey guys,

We recently got fitted for internet access aboard our frigate while at sea and I just wanted to send a test email to se if I could get a post out. If you are reading this then I have succeeded! (oh the security infarctions!!) So anyway, I am bobbing around here with the German Navy waiting for you yanks to show up so we can have a good old fashioned dust-up! Canucks vs all.

I don't have alot of time to answer any tech questions because most of my free time (what little I have) I spend sleeping in my rack. I do promise to make it up when I get back though. Talk it easy and bonne driving to all!

When you asked for some time off to go away, you didn't say THAT far.

You're grounded. No pizza for a month.

Stay dry (and warm if possible).

We are doing joint task force operations with Brits, Germans and Americans right off your coast now. It is the biggest multi-national task force training operation in years. I am going to be in Norfolk on the 19th for the weekend for my first time and I think that I may hit Virginia Beach and get rid of some of the white pasties!
