Hi all

Just to let you all know I'm 4 weeks into a 6 month operational tour in Afghanistan, so won't be so active on the forum.

However, I still hold the position as UKAPS PR and will do my best to carry out this duty.

If anyone has any issues they feel need sorting out on the forum, but would rather do so in private, please PM me. I will do my best to help.

Cheers,
George
 
Well I'm sure I won't be the last to say, I hope your tour is as uneventful as possible and you and your regiment and every one else on tour return home safe and sound as soon as possible. Stay safe.

Indeed. Best regards to you and everybody else out there.
 
A guy at work has just returned safe and well after a six month tour out there so hope all goes just as well for you. :thumbup:
 
+1 to everything thats already been said.
Look forward to your safe return and valued input to the forum :thumbup:
Big up to all the guys out there.
Cheerio,
Ady.
 
Good to hear from you George, you and the boys out there keep safe - mind you I bet your wishing you were here enjoying this nice wet summer! just think of all the BBQ's that you would not be being able to have..... rain, rain and more RAIN!

All the best mate :thumbup:
 
I echo all these sentiments also George. Christmas will be something to REALLY look forward to this year. And I am sure we will all be wishing for your safe return, along with all our armed forces serving overseas.

Cheers
Chris

Thanks guys. :D

6 months without 'scaping is going to be tough! I can see myself grabbing some local rocks and creating dry Iwagumi layouts at some point. The guys will think I'm proper mental! :lol:

Here here to that. I was speaking to Dan the other day and he let me know that George was doing o.k. but his time online is very restricted and quite rightly he has to prioritise that to keep in touch with his family. I too am looking forward to George's safe return and seeing what he has up his sleeve. I know he was thinking of something even before he left. Whatever it is, I am sure it will be pretty spectacular and will send us all back to the drawing board, having had a few months at least where we thought we were doing quite well, LOL.
 
Hi all

I'm back now, so hopefully I'll be contributing a lot more soon. Thanks for all the well-wishes whilst I was away. It was a tough 6 months and I'm so happy to be at home now with my family. :)

Sunrise - somewhere in Helmand Province, Afghanistan by George Farmer, on Flickr

I've been trying to keep an eye on the forum during my tour and it looks like it's been doing great with plenty of new and active members, as well as the usual yet incredibly valuable contributions from our experienced members.

I was particularly gutted to have missed Aquatics Live. All credit to Dan and co. for putting up an amazing display and being a brilliant ambassador for the UK hobby. :thumbup:

I still don't have a tank running but plan on setting one up in the new year - TMC Signature 60x45x30cm with white cabinet, so look out for a journal. I'm still considering the aquascape design...

Cheers,
George
 
So pleased you are back home safe and sound George. But not half as pleased as your family I bet. Have a WONDERFUL Christmas time with them. I expect the thought of that kept you going whilst "Living the dream in the Helmand Province" :p I am sure everyone on UKAPS is looking forward to your new scape and seeing your increased activity on the forum :thumbup:
 
Glad to hear your back safe. Have a great christmas :thumbup:
