Thought I'd let you know that I was in contact with Gazzz last week (25th) and all was well. He was doing training exercises before his brigade (battalion? troop?...) gets sent into action.

Will post back if I he gets in touch again.

Heard from Gazzz today. Sounds like all is well - he's currently doing some drone training and will post an update as soon as he can.

I got in touch with Gazzz and he seemed to be doing well - he has been pretty busy so hasn't been able to post an update.
It sounds like he'll be sent into action pretty soon, though

Got a message from Gazzz this morning. He was in the trenches on the front line watching his country's land get destroyed for a couple of weeks. He has now been moved back a couple of kilometres to fly recon drones. Sounds like there is a fair bit of artiliary around him - can't imagine the stress.

He sent a couple of photos of the accesories he asked me to get for him - ammo boxes, straps etc. I guess he can't help himself - any machine he gets his hands on needs to have a few mods. Hopefully this madness ends before he really needs to use it.

Thanks for the update Calum, glad to hear he is still out there doing his thing, is there any way I can help out? like paypal or anything?
