- The Saudi Connection
-
- Some common Questions and Answers:
-
- What route does the mail take to Saudi Arabia?
-
- The mail goes from my system directly to a system in California, where it
- is sent straight to an American Sysop in Saudi Arabia. The SA Sysop prints
- out each message on a laser printer and hand delivers them to the US Military
- Post Office for distribution to our troops.
-
- What Addresses should we use?
-
- Specific Individuals:
-
- Name, Rank, Social Security Number
- Operation Desert Shield
- Organization/Unit (Deployed)
- APO NY ZIPCode
-
- Any Serviceman:
-
- Any Servicemember
- Operation Desert Shield
- APO New York 09848-0006
-
- Are these messages censored?
-
- Yes, they are censored in California for such things as: racial slurs,
- profanity and obvious things of that nature. We do not know if they are
- censored by any Arabian Nationals or not.
-
- Will there be two-way mail?
-
- Eventually there will be. At this time there is not but we are working on it.
- This is why all messages should end with the sender's full US Mail Address.
- Also, the "From" section of the message header should have the sendor's name
- in it, not the sysop's name.
-
- Keep in mind that the messages you post are not read by anyone except the
- 'censors' in California. This is a private echo (you will note there is no
- read option in the menu - make sure it's right before you save it).
-
- Any user found absusing this area will be REMOVED FROM THIS BBS ENTIRELY!
- This area is for supportive messages only - period. These folks are over
- there risking their lives for our way of life. If you happen to disagree
- with that, or the war in general, these are NOT the folks to take it up
- with.
