Re: Nathan's FB3 comments,

Our Arabic resources at work since we transitioned from CENTCOM to S. E.
Asia/Oceania is a bit thin - none of the books had ANYTHING near
appropriate.

But, I forwarded the efforts of an Arabic translator at work to myself
at
home but it hasn't arrived yet ($#@^&%* firewall) so IF/WHEN I get it I
will post it for your consideration.  Caveat - this is a new language
for
her (third ?) and she has only been studying it extensively with a
native
speaker for a couple of years.

Gracias, Glenn/Triphibious
