Hey,

 

The IDF works with various vendors – there is a cost we pay them (usually annually).

We will be providing lunch on the 17th and 18th  - when we are on tour, and it will most likely be in an IDF base. MG Haliva (the IDF) will host dinner on the 17th (not sure if we will do GO’s only).

 

Wev’e done this with a lot of different GO/FOs – including Gen. Vottel (heel be here next week), the DCOM and S2… so I don’t think this should be an issue.

Benzi,

 

Our legal guys are giving us headaches…is there a fee for the Winery Tour, Tel Aviv and Jaffa Tour…also, I’m guessing lunch and dinner is on us (which is just fine).

 

Thanks

Roger that.

 

If you think it’s too much of a hassle to change then civis are perfectly fine.

Thanks, really appreciate the quick response.  I’ll talk to the boss, but he’ll likely defer to you guys.

 

So, we’ll plan for ACU’s for morning for 17 Dec, with a transition after lunch to civilians…and civilians all day on the 18th

 

Have a great day!

Thanks

mike

Great question 

 

So for Gaza we can do ACUs and then switch to civis before jerusalem. North and Jordan will be civilian. But really, what you prefer - we can do the whole thing civilian for US folks if that makes more sense for you.

Benzi,

One question for the visit.

What uniform do you want us in?

I'm guessing for the trip north/Jordan it'll be civilian clothes...maybe the
same for Gaza/Jerusalem?  

Thanks!

Benzi,

Not trying to be a pain, but do you have a draft itinerary I can get for the
17-18 Dec visit?  We'll need something IOT get our lawyers to bless off on
the trip.

Thanks!
