: : Webley,
: : Sorry I've been away for a while but earlier on some of us were responding to Mithandir's question on "favorite places". I indicated that I had visited Belgium and you asked me "where?". To answer your question, I was in Antwerp (or as they say there, Antwerpen).

: : It was cold, foggy and it was the first time I went eyeball to eyeball with a Soviet Army lieutenant colonel. It was 1989 and he was serving as an observer under the NATO status of forces agreement while we were conducting a training exercise. I was just a lieutenant then and it was a big deal for me because, at the time, the Soviets were still our enemy. -MP

: I live right under Gent in a small town called Sint-Martens-Latem.
: Yup Belgium is colder than in the USA, right now it's freezing.
: What army rang do you have now?
: It was nice that you responded my question. Thanks
: -Webley-

: I'm a Major now. I liked the sound of "Captain" better though. I get paid more now but I have a lot more worries as well. -MP
