A really sad thing that was; we lost quite a few good men in that fire.

Would love to take another S-3 flight to Diego Garcia, take a Jeepney ride down main street in the PI drinking a cold San Miguel or maybe even spend another week in Perth with all the beautiful ladies (don’t tell my wife :) ha ha.
