I just received another update from Sameer and thought I'd post the highlights.

So far he is still doing fine on the flightline. No major casualties have occured that he had to deal with. They have had some Red Alerts, however. They even had a patriot missile go directly over their camp. The count as of yesterday was 13, so everyone in the camp had to put on the oversuit and gas mask to protect against a chemical and biological attack. Most of these alerts happened at night, so Sameer has not been getting a lot of sleep lately.

Other than the restlessness and adrenaline, there have been no major problems. Some helicopters have flown missions from his base, but all have returned safely.

Again, thanks to all who have posted. I've been keeping Sameer up to date with all of your messages, and be assured that he appreciates every single one.

CNN and Fox News seem to be the best providers of the up-to-date information, so keep an eye out for more updates.

Thanks again for you support,

Just to let everyone know, Sameer flew into Miramar early this morning. His squadron, 267, is finally home from their tour in Iraq and Kuwait. There should be a special by Oliver North on his squadron coming up soon, so keep your eyes peeled.

Again, thanks to everyone for all of your support!
