Forward observation units confirmed today that Commanding Officer Col. Hajj was shot down yesterday and sustained a non lethal wound to the chest. The Col. Was out flying a solo mission when he attacked four enemy Fokkers. Fortunately, he was able to make his own lines and was taken to a forward hospital where surgery was preformed with out complications.

(I had non serious surgery on my chest yesterday, but am doing fine.)

Glad to hear you're doing fine and it was nothing serious. Next time wait for backup before taking on that many Fokkers alone!!

I hope your hospital stay gave you a chance to get a little sleep. :)

Glad you're O.K.

Thanks guys. Four Fokkers is usually even odds, but one those guys was damn good!

Sorry to hear you are laid up. Take a moment in time to recoupe.

With all you do, you need it.

Glad to hear you are doing OK now.

It would take a few more than they threw at you to get you down.

No chasing nurses now!

The MO says you're skiving by the way and says he'll turn you in for malingering unless you buy a round when you get back to the mess.

Get better soon boss.
Just because characters in James Bond movies with an extra nipple are crack shots does not mean that you will get more huns that way, although you may.

Ah, a Scaramanga (Christopher Lee) reference. I believe the term in the movie was a superflous nipple. I don't think Keith was around in 1972 for Man with the Golden Gun.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Keith.

Glad to hear it was not serious, hope you have a quick recovery. Need to talk to your wingmen, about letting you take off alone like that.

Glad to hear it wasn't something serious... So how many did you shoot down?? I know you all were thinking it I said it.;)

Tom

P.S. Knowing you, you'll probably sneak out to rejoin your squadron.

Alone?!? What, are you crazy fokker? ;)

Nope, I had a third nipple added!!!

lol

Rule of thumb: Always have nipples added in pairs.

The Col. Was out flying a solo mission when he attacked four enemy Fokkers.

"Enemy fokkers eh? What kind of planes were they flying?"

(Somebody stop me...I can do this all night long)

Hope to see you at the morning squadron briefing soon, or in other words; best wishes for a speedy recovery.

My Flight Leader (Barker VC) said it all, but the nipple-thing is so gross it makes facetious look good.

The good new is that you have more time to be here instead of at work! Here's hoping for a quick recovery

Thanks for all the warm wishes guys. The Doc gave me a clean bill of health yesterday at the follow up. He was not quite so happy that I'd slipped off back to my Command to make sure you guys were still flying your assigned sorties though!

Great news Col. As a thought, if they got you in the chest, maybe you were too busy watching your six....
Take care.
