I wish Houston was closer or I'd hop in my truck and say Howdy.
Maybe Heavenbound or other Texans on this board can send you off or pay you a visit.

yoorp thnx for that but think heavenbound would be tempting fate to much :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: but seriously would be good if l could met some of the guys of the board so if any of u guys are going to be in Houston after the 19Th Feb would be cool to hook up and have a few beers and put face to names

be careful with those beers in Houston-They kind of frown on it but that's usually when guys get stupid and overdo it.

Tick Toc :P
Reality will set in when they give you a cotton swab and tell you to rub it hard on your Gums to get DNA :P

Butterflies are normal
Houston Orientation is so fast-paced in reflection it goes by in a snap.

Be careful over there.

U.S. contractor shot by U.S. forces near base
Truck driver for KBR killed in an ‘escalation of force incident,’ military says

Updated: 6:57 p.m. CT Feb 10, 2007
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military confirmed on Saturday that American forces at Camp Anaconda, the huge air base north of Baghdad, shot and killed a civilian contract truck driver.

A spokeswoman for KBR, a contracting subsidiary of Halliburton that was formerly known as Kellogg, Brown & Root, said the shooting was under investigation.

Melissa Norcross, the KBR spokeswoman, said the company was not releasing the name of the dead driver or a second person in the truck who was wounded “to protect the individuals’ privacy.”

In Baghdad, Lt. Cmdr. Bill Speaks said, “There was an escalation of force incident at Camp Anaconda on Feb. 5 (Monday) that resulted in the death of a civilian contractor. The incident is under investigation by the Army Criminal Investigation Division and KBR.”

An escalation of force incident normally means a driver approaching a checkpoint did not respond to military orders to approach slowly and stop.

“Sadly, 98 KBR employees and subcontractors have lost their lives, and more than 430 have been wounded by hostile action while performing services under the company’s government contracts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait,” Norcross said in an e-mail response to queries about the incident.

Halliburton is spinning off KBR into its own separate, publicly traded entity.
