I don't come over to this site often, but I do know Pete did. Well some of the members and I were wondering about Pete since he was called up and I sent him a PM. I got a response back and I'll let him speak for himself:

Hey Jeff, do me a favor and let the guys know I am doing fine. I can't get to a computer cause they are very limited and I really don't have much time. I managed to get on today for a little while. I'm still at [Fort] Bliss [Texas] and haven't left for Iraq yet. Can't really say much cause they are monitoring our traffic but things are going great and training is rough but good.

I try to drop in from time to time. See you guys in a year.

Jeff,

Thanks for the update. Pete will be in our thoughts and I'll send all the good luck I have left for a safe return.

Thanks for passing word along, Jeff!
Godspeed, Pete...
Cheers,
~Gunny

Thanks for giving us the update Jeff.
Glad to hear he’s doing well.

Best of luck Pete. Stay Safe.
I’ll see you when you get back.
