Good to hear from you, you guys are doing a fine job.

Keep your head up!

Safe home old son.

PS Gone fishin: Combat Florist....that's a good one! 20 years wearing that badge and I never heard that term before lots of others and a few that would get me barred from this forum, but not that one.

gonefishin · #16 03-28-2008, 08:46 PM

Learned it from a Strat.

JohninAB · #17 03-28-2008, 09:15 PM

Stay safe and know we are all behind you. We owe you a lot of gratitude for how you serve our country and make us so proud!

TreeGuy · #18 03-28-2008, 11:04 PM

Alright, you guys gotta let us in on the 'Combat Florist' joke. I know that we're just civies, but some of us have a sense of humor!

Those of us in the signals trade wear a little fellow on our cap badge, known as Hermes... the messenger of the Greek Gods. However, some people of the other military trades feel this little guy (the way he is depicted on our cap badge) looks similar to the FTD Florist guy and as we are in the army... thus, the combat florist.
