Additional words:A job well done guys!
I think that's probably one of the smoothest runs of that mission we've had.
[logistically speaking for our supplies and the survival of convoy vehicles.]
It's a long one, and a hard one, with a lot of surprises along the way.
Thank you to everyone who stuck through it and persevered to the end.
And a big thank you to the new guys joining us for this Operation. This is a wild mission for you guys to start on and I thank you for your patience during the prep - As you can tell it get's only harder and harder; Especially if we hadn't done that pre-prep.
A huge thank you again to this week's Mission Builders - PapaReap and Dtrax! Slow to get started, but we know why every time we do it. This mission is intense.
*V Out!*
