its about time I apologize

Well, here goes I am in the midst of my reintegration tyraining thus the reason for the delayed post. I have been back in the States for almost a month now. We are all so blessed and lucky to live in this country. I am so thankful to be wher I am today ice cubes flush toilets and hot showers.
Anyway, I have to first thank Duff one heck of an awesome guy. A true watch enthusest but more importantly a true person, and a compassionate guy. Now a days it is very hard to find real people. Being over sees allowed me to really see how good the American people are without the support of complete styrangers back here we would have had a very difficult time. So many people gave in ways that just make you glow from within.
Anyway I am back now and look forward to being part of the team here. This forum is wher the real watch people hang out real being the key word. This is just so awesome that you guys started this.I am so gratefule for the watches that you allocated to me. I had built a small but a collevction that I was proud of all the same. I had so pretty cool watches one of my favorites actually being from a company IO do not care for a Renato T-rex man I liked that watch but that along with all my others were taken from the storage unit I had my things in. It was a hard decision to leave my watches back here but I figured they would be safer here than in the 130 degree sandy S****** that I was in, but I guess not.
So I guess it back to square one , but I will probably be taking it a lot slower this go around as I am now also paying my sisters college tution she is at Grand Vally in Mi I am so proud of her. Anyway, I am still at Ft. Hood I ended up going back to the same apartment place I was at before just a different apartment.
I love what I do, and wouldnt change anything for the world. Well I look forward to chatting with you all in the future thank you again for your generosity.

Welcome to XMT Lucky. I retired from the Air Force in 07', I've been to enough places to know what you mean about living here. Welcome back to the world and looking forward to your posts.

Great introduction sir and we are HONORED to have you here!

Welcome to XMT! Duffs a good man,. Thanks for your service, honored to have you here.

Welcome home (first and foremost), welcome to XMT, and thanks for everything you've done for this country.
When Duff brought up his question of the watch dispertion, I say for everyone here, there was no question about who should get them. Seems to be a bit of generosity around here.

Please add this Canadian's sinceret gratitude for your service to your welcome home, drluckyh.

Thank you.

It's TREMENDOUSLY cool to have you back home as well as here at XMT with us !!!!
I honestly am SO grateful to you for your service, that it's hard to convey my thoughts.
However, I feel especially honored for everything you have done for us and the country.
Without you, we don't get to have the freedoms we enjoy every day. As you said. this
country is great and we are lucky to have what we have. Nevertheless, as with anything
great, there has to be great or good people behind it all. We DEFINITELY are blessed and
fortunate to have that with YOU as well as people like you ! So I hope we here can
be a source of enjoyment for you. Maybe we can give back some entertainment, information,
or just some plain old watch fun !!! It's going to be GREAT having you at XMT. Everyone
is just THE best here and I know we ALL look forward to talking watches and whatever
else you would like to sir !!! THANKS AGAIN and please ENJOY yourself Drluckyh !

Welcome sir and it is an honor to have you here! Thank you for joining but most of all thank you for risking life and limb for our country. Hope you kick off your shoes and stay awhile. I think you will enjoy it here it you can put up with Duff!

Tom, so glad you are back safe and sound! I was truly happy to get your e-mail when you returned. I think you'll really enjoy XMT. We have great members here that love 'watches' of all kinds. Happy you decided to join us. It was a UNANIMOUS vote to send the remaining watches of Aqua Homer's giveaway to you. I know you prefer larger watches so you should be very happy with the Commander and the Potger Pietri!!! They'll be a great start to rebuilding your collection. I'm going to clean them up and put a new battery in the Commander and get them off to you ASAP. SEE YOU DOITY SUMMABEECHEZ! I TOLD YOU I HAVE SOME FRIENDS!
