7) Specialized Answer To A Soldier's Problem
This was news to me; and may be to others as well.
Hi Fred! This is in regards to the soldier in Iraq who is having problems with his computer, that you wrote about in your last Langalist "Long-Distance Fixes" http://langa.com/newsletters/2005/2005-01-20.htm#2 ).
I am a soldier in the U.S. Army, and I noticed that you recommended the soldier download and install AVG Antivirus and ZoneAlarm. However, something that many soldiers don't seem to realize (and I hope you'll help make them aware of this), is that the U.S. Army has a contract with both Norton/Symantec, McAfee, and Trend Micro, which allows soldiers to download and install Norton/Symantec, McAfee, and Trend Micro Antivirus, Firewalls, and other system security software that they sell to corporations. These are not just your standard consumer versions, but the full corporate versions of their software, such as Symantec Anti-Virus Corporate edition version 9.02, Symantec Client Security, and McAfee Virus scan Enterprise. This software is available to soldiers completely free, provided they have access to their Army Web account.
All a soldier has to do, is log on to the web, (which I understand is hard to do over in Iraq due to limited bandwidth/systems available), go to their AKO (Army Knowledge Online; http://www.us.army.mil/ ) account, log in, and click on Antivirus Services (on the left of the Army Website Portal for AKO). This then takes them to the links where they can download the appropriate software that they want).
I hope you find this information useful! Marc Wayman SFC, USA
Red 6 Thank you--thanks for your truthful, insightful, funny stories. My young leatha'neck is champing at the bit to get out of Quantico. I'm sending him all your posts. Funny how much easier it is to be the one who is there--at least you know where you are. My military self knows you all got what it takes--no worries mate--my mother's heart prays for you every day. God Bless. . .
Hey Guys,
Just thought you should know that your blog is being used a smear against the White House by craig of craigslist. My personal opinions on the White House and the treatment of the war aside, I thought you should know how your site is referenced. Do you feel that there is a lack of support from the White House? (nevermind the fact that he confuses Senate proceedings - the Legislative Branch - with the White House - the Executive Branch).
v/r,
Just another Lieutenant
You guys rock.
We're thinking of you all here at home.
You have to see this television ad that ran
during the SuperBowl to salute the troops:

The sumarizes how we feel here at home. Show it
to your buddies there with you.
Your blog is excellent, I hope you will convert
it into a book upon your return home.
Red 6,
Thank you for the dangerous and hardwork. America appreciates you and your men for the bravery, sacrifice and unselfishness to get rid of these fanatical terrorists.
My prayers are with you and your men. God Bless You All and May He protects you during battle.
Thank You,
Gary
You guys are so damn brave. Stay safe. You are all in my prayers.

Good stuff. When in Viet Nam I always preferred dropping a grenade in the hole. Don't expose yourself like that guys.
Stay safe and cover each other's backs at all time. You're doing a heck of a job.
To you soldiers of freedom
we owe so much,
what can we ever do
to repay the debt of sacrifice you make, give us the chance to do just that,
kick ass and then come back,
Do the names of Patrick Henry, George Washington ring a bell? It is their shoes you are in, giving them hell.
God bless and keep you all the days of your lives.
