to any recollection of Custis sacking out, passing out or engaging in any other sort of inactivity caused by counting sheep. But, I now understand the real reason for this thread, Counting sheep...

I have to plead guilty to watching Fox News and have always liked Rick Leventhal's reporting. So, when in spring 2003 (because of post-surgical complications), I was stuck for several months at home, lying on my side surfing the Net and watching TV, I followed Jon's company as it led the "East Side" charge to Baghdad.

I can truthfully say that Custis is the best combat officer posting to this forum whom I've seen in action. Of course, he is the only one whom I've seen in action.

Call it coincidence, but tomorrow I have to sit down with a "sleep doctor" to go over the results of my recent "sleep test". A small world indeed.

Regards

Mike
