Hi all,
 
I was in the office all day and with the wife and kids out this evening I  
had time to type up the log for once. A rotation is on-going at Fort Polk. Air  
Warrior frequency's and (some) of the usually callsigns were in evidence,  ie, 
CASINO and FLEX, while the boys from Fort Worth JRB seem to be using their  
own callsigns.
