A MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL AND A GREAT 2017!


I would like to wish each and every visitor to the blog a blessed and merry festive season. To those who celebrate the meaning of Christmas, I wish you and your families a blessed, happy and joyous festive season.

To those who do not celebrate Christmas for whatever reason I wish you all a time of happiness and peace with your families and friends.

I would also like to wish each and every one of you – and your loved ones - a great 2017. May the coming year be filled with good health, happiness and safety.

Thank you to everyone who read and contributed to the blog throughout the year. Your comments are always appreciated and highly valued as they give me insight and allow me to broaden my own knowledge base.

To everyone who is far from home at this time, and to those who are deployed in the conflict zones around the world, beit as soldiers, sailors, airmen, law enforcement officers, spooks or PMC contractors, keep your heads down, your eyes peeled, your weapons close at hand, stay safe and be ready to do what needs to be done.

Let us also remember those who will not be able to be share this time with those they hold dear as well as those who have lost friends and loved ones. They should never be forgotten. Nor should the sacrifices they have made ever be forgotten.

A very merry Christmas season to all!

    Eeben,

    A most appropriate and touching Christmas message you have sent. Well done.

    I just received an email that my copies of your "Composite Warfare" book have been shipped. Long wait, but I look forward to the read.

    I hope this email finds its way (through) to you.

    A most Merry Christmas to you and yours! And of course,

    Best regards,
    Herbert

    Merry Christmas to you too, Eeben!

    Unfortunately, my 2017 started off with having my copy of ' Against All Odds' stolen off me �� Any chance you know if a reprint is in the works? Or digital copy?

    Best Regards,

    Natalie

    As someone who is pursuing a life in discretionary warfare operations, I was wondering if I could ask you some questions via email? Any response is greatly appreciated.

    I am sorry to hear that someone stole your copy of the EO book Natalie! Not a nice way to start a new year by having possessions stolen.
    There are currently talks underway to have a revised reprint done but no decision has yet been taken. The book was never published as an e-book. But, I will keep you posted re when and if a reprint is done.
    Rgds,

    Thanks for your message Garrett.
    It is certainly an interesting field to get involved in. I do not answer questions relating to operations but I cover some of it in my latest book.
    Rgds and good luck.
