I was Ben online the other day. He’s one of the Eagle Scouts I worked with in scouting. He’s nearly 20 now. He’s in Iraq, at Baghdad. The story I heard from him before he went was motor pool or some such thing. So, I ask, “how’s it goin;?” “Going good” he says, “but kinda hairy outside the wire.” Outside the wire"? Seems he’s doing convoy escort duty for the Iraqis'. Convoys – geez I hated those things. Never got used to the roads even though I seldom had to take a convoy from point to point. But daily?
So tonight I say him again online tonight. I left him to his evening but I was grateful he was there – I know he’s safe for tonight. I suspect I will look for him alot online.
