Suck it up.  I have 2 sets at the moment  ;D

Is it just me or is the site super fast now? (and I'm on the crappy at best army sat connection)

Well the problem is too big for "pest control' to handle.  The infestation has already taken hold, and dosen't seem to respond to the "chemicals".  You would think after 7 years this problem would be dead, and not come back every 6 months  ::)

Well this is a good one, why do I seem to com e across so many  ::) From an MWO "Soldiers fight better when strict uniformity is enforced!" [I tuned out at this point] but their was more like it that followed.

You know that they actually may try this ::)  Well they listened to our suggestions to improve KAF, and then decided again to tighten the dress policy (because uniformity is required to fight  ::)).  Soon they will be giving us an emergency issue of DEU;s to wear so we are all uniform (we are...

I like the idea Wonderbread has, but it does need a removable panel that, all your fighting can be taken off when not needed (walking around the FOB I operate out of) I seen one of the panels that Matt is talking about.  One of the US army guys we had working with us had one on his vest...

Just because you started it: Location: Not to be named  ;D Today's High: 58°C Current Temperature: 47°C Feels like: freaking hot Long range forecast: sun and extremely hot weather, getting hotter by the day  ::) Visibility: reduced due to large amounts of sand in the air Now that at least...

Hey that's good for me, that way when I watch it isn't old forgotten, and I can post on it  ;D.  (my current internet connection sucks at best)

Hey Vern, you can have mine, I'll swap with you (I'll try to beat most of the dust out of it). OldSoldier, it does a good job of collecting dust  ;D so it does something well.

It is a great movie, I seen it in theaters, and we watched it the other night for "movie Night".

Thats were mine is, and I haven't had any dust, or sand get in there yet.  I started using my small pack in that roll, but it would fill up with dust  ::) Jammer, you don't find the sholder straps too small.  I have to have the straps maxed out to wear it, and it just keeps slipping off.

He usialy drives, so no frequent flier miles for him  ;D you mean the bag that dioes a half-a## job as a travel bag between FOBs? And when packed for a mission dosen't interface well with the FPV and issued/non issued load bearing equipment.

We keep fighting the dress reg war, we can now walk around with unblowsed pants, but must have boot bands on our person, and OTW shirts are good most places except KAF and a few FOBs.

You mean the one that says: "The new ruck is the best piece of kit ever issued  ::). Mine is doing quite well collecting dust (and quite a bit I mite add) under my bed  ;D.  The only good part of that system is the compression bag (it happens to be the only issued thing, except PPE/combats,and...

it looks good on paper, and that's all most KAFer's see. We are still trying to get him/her to roll with us for a few days, to teach us how not to sweat in the headsets. 

It was passed down in O-group.  I think it came from the same LCIS Techs in KAF that keep telling us not to sweat in our vehicle headsets  ::) We don't carry 522's so we didn't question it.

I find this one quite amusing: I overheard some KAFer at lunch today (yes I was in the wire, only for an hour; and I didn't get to Timmies  ::)), "Why to I have to carry this stupid 9mm"  I was going to say something, but decided against it.

We keep suggesting new things for KAF, as they don't want to put things in our FOB (because the KAFer's need it more  ::)).  We have already asked for a Bowling Ally and Swimming Pool.  We figure we'll get to use it once every 5 or 6 weeks when we make a trip into KAF.

Only if you can work without sweating in high 50's to mid 60 temperatures. [and yes I am bored, in case someone asks why I responded]

If only I had an internet connection that worked; I was in KAF on the 25th.
