[NSRCA-discussion] Off topic: independence day

[Lance Van Nostrand]

Interesting.  I didn't know you were Columbian.  When I first met the team I'd be working with I thought they were the Dallas Cowboys offensive line.  Not only is this team one scary offensive weapon but they are dedicated.  Toward our deadline we were working a lot of overtime.  One guy worked 46 hours straight to find that last "bug" and our POC was there shoulder to shoulder.  You have to be all in to win.

  Lance,

   

  As a Colombian-American, I want to thank you and others that help in this last chapter against  the FARC guerrillas, but we have more than 750 Colombians still in the FARC's hands that need to be rescue (some of them with more than 10 years kidnapped).  Hopefully soon we can say that the FARC is part of our past.

   

  Arturo

  In my real job I am working with an extraction team that was part of outsmarting the FARC rebels in Columbia and freeing some of their hostages.  My technology was not used there, but we just delivered our equipment to the proving grounds this week and it will be in Baghdad by September.  Independence day has new meaning when you are part of the solution.
