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!

Cheers, reading this loud and clear

having fun the ze fatherland?

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).

Amen to technology!

Haha

Jokes on you, we are having pizza tonight!!! And a Stanley Cup game via satellite TV with wings. It'* not so bad. Go Calgary!

My first 2 deployments where w/o e-mail ..looking back it seems like we should also still had sails! Where coming! My base sent out the last of the airwings this week.

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!

I know about it. Also I just found out a US and GER. ship "bumped" while tring to do a high line transfer. DOH! I'm going to be in Penna. this weekend but will be back the night of the 19th. Check for PM if you like to meet. If you got plans-I understand I'm a squid also and know how it goes. :P

edit: opps the 19 is SAT I mean the 20th on here and PM.

Sounds like a floating Hotel. j/k From an old swab here. Spent alot of time under the Atlantic. Sorry about Calgary Pal.

Tell your onboard "skivvy wavers", Bravo Zulu.
