Benzi,

 

So the idea is for Col Frankel to have a skype call with Brig Reeve, is that right?

 

Can you just confirm Col Frankel’s position and what he wants to cover in the call?  It may be that the policy lead in the MOD would be the more appropriate far end.

 

Josh,

 

This request comes after the excellent visit on the Mil to Mil and obvious benefit of resurrecting the planned visit by IDF J3 to the UK.  Given that I’m on leave this week, would you be able to pick it up with Benzi to see whether/how/ and with whom an unclass video call could take place to get this engagement back on the road?

Hey Roonie, 

 

I spoke to Colonel Frankel today, and we would like and try to set up a quick Skype/FaceTime sometime mid next week, if possible.

Hi Benzi - nothing secure.   I think that we would use Skype or FaceTime so could do it anywhere.  The Embassy uses Foreign Office systems which aren’t available in the Army locations.

Hey Colonel,

 

Do you have a platform in the embassy to perform a video tele-conference with the CO if the 77X?
