An Announcement

Bo · 20th February 2007, 09:55 AM

To all,
I have recently been offered a job where I will be pulled away from my family, my home, my country, and you guys. I have been offered a position in Qatar, for one year. I am not sure of the internet connectivity there, so I am making the announcement just incase. I will be leaving this Sunday night, and will return approximately 19 FEB 08. I have been doing alot of thinking and soul searching, and taking this job felt like the right decision. I do not like idea of leaving for such a long time, but the stability it will provide for my family for the future was a huge factor in this decision. It is a government contract job on an Air Force Base in Qatar, maintaining fire alarms systems. The pay is awesome, which is a bonus! I hope to be able to come to the forums if possible, even if only for a minute or two here and there. This forum is a huge part of my life and I hate to leave it, but I will do my best to come in and check up on you all now and then, and smack around those who need smacking!

I will still be around for a few days until I leave for Florida, and even then, I'll be in Florida til 2 MAR(hopefully having net access in my hotel), and at that time I dont know what will happen from there. Who knows, I may get there and will be able to post everyday from an internet cafe, or not. The lines last time at the cafe when I deployed there were horrible, and it was an hours wait just about everytime I tried, on computers that were built in 1980.

So this is a temporary farewell to you all. I will see everyone in a year!!!

Should be better internet there now. And as a civilian, better access to better things. Wish you well.
P.S., the P-3 squadrons usually have better computers, with internet acess, and are not usually on the same firewall as the Air Force. A little bartering with the Maintenance Control chiefs will take you far.
