 Sir, 

We were discussing a joint IO seminar (with the IDF J3 IO Department). 

Last I heard from Colonel Ortal, we are on a “hold” with the joint J7 seminar, and would love to move forward. 

Respectfully,

Sorry but I am coming into this late; which engagement are we talking about specifically?  Is this in relation to your J3’s visit, the standing J7-IDF seminar, or something else?

Jeff,

 

Nice to e-meet you.

 

I was in Germany last week on a JF planning conference.

 

Don’t think this will come up in any of the J5 meetings. I would suggest we hold off leadership engagement  on the subject until we agree on a way ahead on the AO level…

Benzi,

 

     I walked by your office last week but unfortunately did not have a chance to stop in to introduce myself- I have replaced LTC Sean Tompkins in the J5.  I highlighted this joint seminar proposal for my EUCOM counterpart’s visit to Israel this week- will you attend any of the meetings, and does your leadership intend to raise it there?

 

Thanks, and look forward to working with you!

 

v/r,

Jeff

Good Afternoon all, 

 

Just wanted to follow up and see how we can move forward. It seems like my leadership is keen to move forward with a joint seminar, as we discussed on the phone a couple of weeks ago. 

 

All the best, 

Respectfully,
