Update on Thane, and a prayer request

[Keith B]

Oh, and getting sprayed with OC is the worst pain imaginable.

..... and keep your nose clean, and you'll do just fine.

That's almost impossible after you have been sprayed with OC!!

Seriously, congratulations Thane. Proud to know we have upstanding young folks serving on our borders.

And good luck to you bigdook. Wish you the best!
