Thanks guys. I'm coming along just fine. I just started walking without crutches or a cane a little over a week ago. Still got a pretty good hitch in my step but hopefully that'll go away in time too. Keep your thoughts on the team though... on a team of eleven we've had six WIA (five from direct fire). Things are heating up in Afghanistan, indeed!

I e-mailed my AAR comments to the company and it turns out that they've actually listened to some of the feedback and corrected all of the issues that I could find and a few more brought to their attention from other sources.

I am excited to see what their 2nd Gen release is gonna look like. I hope there are some units that bite on this piece of technology because I think it really has a good niche. It's a nice to have for DA-type missions, but it's a must have for anything low-vis. It's a pain in the ass to hide a long whip under man jams!

Thanks again for the good wishes.
