Sorry man. 39> You should have been there two weeks ago when Incheon was crammed with a couple hundred soliders going "Yeah, were here for some exercize".

Learned that one from AFKN - "Always practice good OPSEC!" My absolute favorite AFKN commercial has to be the one where the GI is reminded to close his dresser drawer to avoid an accident.

They did it because it was in their best interest, not because some FTA "forced" them to do it. Dram: Need you on the team tomorrow night, mil guys on exercise. Drambuie Man makes some good points.
