i used to be a fairly (somewhat) well know user around here.. as well as somebody that was fun to play chess against (although I tended to be on the loosing side).. I'm over here in Iraq..will be for quite sometime, but somehow I still manage to not time out my matches!!!! (although, there may come a time where a mission takes me away from the computer for more then a few days, or the entire network crashes which it does, so please be paitent with me). Anyway, I just wanted to say, well, hi, how is everybody?

All the best in your endeavours in Iraq - it's a crappy job, but someone's got to do it :-)

Hail. What are you calling a mission?

A mission is a generic name for job or task that a unit would be sent to do. Examples could be: go find where the enemy is, go kill the enemy, go find the enemy supply lines, go find fresh coffee, etc.

damn, I didn't realise you'd gone. I just though you were being a bit quieter than usual ๐Ÿ™‚

just remember: duck, dash, down, crawl, observe, react, cover. That, and getting your butt back in 1 piece.

All the best luck

Yah, I do all that, and you really don't talk about specifics of missions, because , well, it's opperational security๐Ÿ™„
I'm keeping safe, and doing my job, and looking foward to coming home eventually. Not soon enough however!

*Sigh*.. yes I was. I miss it, but I obviously don't have much time for it at the moment, and I think my girlfriend would kill me if I spent as much time and effort I did before I left on chess and my clan. Plus, she deserves a lot of attention..i hope that by sometime mid year 2005, I will either be a driving force in my clan becuase I'm better in chess, or once again the leader (or at least a close advisor) of my clan.

Does anybody remember why it's called the white hats ? (and no, it's nothing racial, so please no posts like that...)

Whenever that day is - and I hope it's real soon, you'll be welcomed back with open arms. I remember how you saved me from a fate worse than death in another clan!!! Keep safe Jason, good luck mate.
