Well, got some good news. It seems my team is finally getting releived very shortly and getting to go back home to the USA! It has been a long time, 13 months. But have got to do a lot of travel, had some really good adventures and also have seen some bad things I wish to forget about. In the last year I have been to Afghanistan, Kuwait, Oman, Thailand, Veitnam, Kosovo, Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria and two other places. I have really enjoyed the BUSSE FOrum as it has kept me occupied between missions and provided humor over the last couple of months. I have been very impressed the Busse Combat and it was good to know I had a dependaple blade by my side the last several months.

I am going to celebrate coming home with a hunting trip to South Africa. Hope to get some good trophies. Actually invited by another KnifeMaker whose folders I use (don't worry he only makes folders-no fixed blades, I'll stick with Busse for that!) Will probably have my BM and NO ZT accompany me! Then after that I am going to Hong Kong to visit my brother and then to Thailand to visit a friend. And then it is back to Indiana and the Fire Dept. Hopefully will not get called up again for at least 6 months.

Thanks again, I will still be visiting the Forums as often as I can.

Good News indeed. A rotation ending is always a welcome change.

We'll keep the light on for you.
 
Congratulations on a job well done.

And I didn't know you are a hoosier, which part ya from?
 
Shoot me an e-mail if you're ever going to be in Lafayette or just visiting Purdue. I'll buy yer brews for ya! :D

Good news, Ranger. Stay sharp on these last days and make sure everything goes right until you set foot back home. You're going to enjoy your homecoming.

That is great news Ranger! Congrats! Take care and return home safely. When you get back to Indiana you'll need to come to the INDY 1500 and party with the Crew from Busse.

I actually am from Lafayette and a 1997 Purdue Grad (school of agriculture). I am with the Lafayette Fire Dept. now, but I took a year + leave of absence to go back into Special Forces.

Thanks for everybody's support and comments.
 
Right about now Xelloss is thinkin' "Damn it boy! Why don'tcha shut yer pie hole!. . . Now you're buyin' beer for Ranger and Busse!!!" :eek:

Yep, X-Man. . . sounds to me like you might be needin' to work some overtime to make up for that remark! ;)

I don't know exactly where Lafayette is, but I'm pretty sure that if I head west, my "Beerdar" will get me there! :D

Just look for Purdue University, and you'll find it. Got some great drinking establishments, including Indiana's oldest bar...:D Just make sure it's on a weekend, as works got me chained to the CNC lathe during the week, and I'll have to pay for you two's tab somehow...:D :D :D
