Hey, I've been here for about 4 months and hopefully only another 8 left. I went to chow the other day and ran into Tim Price who just arrived on my FOB and will be here until next April. I also saw Brande Goracke, Alex Kasarda, and Steve Cheng. It's nice to know that wherever you go there's a Hokie there.
