Title: Me soldier, me have gun, me go out to have some fun... :rolleyes:
Post by: Sandwich on January 26, 2003, 04:43:54 am: I hate to be a copy-cat, but Setekh knew about this anyway - I have to leave for a bit, too. As of January 27th, I'll begin a month of IDF reserve duty in the Gaza Strip, until February 27th.

Now last year I was sent into Jenin, and got some grenades and makeshift explosives thrown at my APC, but that was about the extent of the "fighting" I was involved in. But from what I hear, Gaza makes Jenin look like a cakewalk. So if you think of me from time to time, keep me in prayer - those of you who pray, that is. :)

Because of a curious work situation I find myself in, I'll be getting out every week after guard duties Wednesday (whenever they are - morning, afternoon, or evening), and returning to base Friday mid-morning. The reason for such a strange arrangement is because as a webmaster, there are a few sites I operate that require weekly updates, one on Wednesdays, and the other on Fridays. And since I'm the only one in the (very small) company who does web stuff, walla! :)

So I may pop in on Thursdays to say hello and stuff, but don't expect too much from me. :p

Staff Sergeant Michael Cohen, signing off

P.S. Since the general consensus is that the attack on Iraq is going to happen towards the end of February, it could happen that my release is delayed indefinitely. I doubt it, but it could happen. So don't go thinking that "something's happened" if I don't come back right on Feb 27th. ;) I'll have Splinter keep you updated.

Post by: Kazashi on January 26, 2003, 05:21:09 am: Well I can't think of something really meaningful or inventive to say (a common occurance lately), but the best of luck with your situation and here's hoping we hear back from you soon. On a regular basis that is, not just the Thursday visits :)

Post by: an0n on January 26, 2003, 09:37:13 am: If you do happen to be pinned down by cross-fire, mortars bombarding your position and hostile militia encroaching on your little hidey-place, don't hesistate to use grenades on civillian targets. Tending to wounded children will distract them and allow you time to mow down men, women and children with some kind of high-power, automatic, armour-piercing weapon.....Or maybe a make-shift nail-bomb.

now that i think of it, isn't Sandwich stationed in Israel?

Doesn't Israel have the most powerful air force in the world?

don't they have like 260 F16s?
Title: Me soldier, me have gun, me go out to have some fun... :rolleyes:
Post by: Stryke 9 on January 26, 2003, 09:18:17 pm: ...Aaand?

I doubt that many, though. US sells Israel those F-16s, and I doubt the US government'd let anybody have more weaponry than it.

Post by: deep_eyes on January 26, 2003, 10:10:43 pm: hey dude, just make sure u dont go out and die for nothing man, not for no zealot mofo that got nothing better to do but cause more bloodshed. if u can save ur butt and ur fellow troops, there is no shame in fallin back if it means living. so dont be a hero UNLESS YOU HAVE TO.

and besides, it pays to have a real life link to the real world (this being that we can only know what we see on tv as "real").

but take care of yourself and ur battalion or regiment, BUST SOME ASS, WITH THAT BIG GUN U GOT, and if they want a Sandwich, give it to em hard that it'll cause indegestion...

so come back in one piece, we need the realist admin to stay apart of the TEAM.

nah its quite a peacful place (comparitavly) its a fairly well gaurded base... they wouldnt really attack it and so far they are just putting him on a bunch of gaurd duty stuff so the only thing im worried about is if Egypt gets any ideas and attacks that post since its the post on the border between Egypt and the Gaza strip (a real arms trading area)
