Sandwich? I know a few soldiers from my area. They're in Afghanistan, though.

I thought Sandy was in Israel? Or is this on duty?

Sandwich goes away in the spring, March or April, and even when he does, he doesn't go to Iraq AFAIK.

...any correlation at all?

Conclusion - a hell of a lot people leave their light on for the night when they are roaming here at HLP.

It's the Azores, to be more specific... I also wonder who might be from there.

Another exotic locations are Riad, Borneo and the one dot close to Ural in Russia...

Does anyone else in Tassie have FS2? Northern Tassie? (Tasmania, Australia if you don't know)

To this day, everyone I've met doesn't have a clue about what FS2 is. :(

AFAIK, he's the brother of a friend of mine, and I don't live in Tasmania.
