Meat, my brother! What have you been up to? I understand SECDEF was out your way recently. PM me with unclass details of what's going on over there if you can.

...and/or make an IA thread for the rest of us. Brett "One-way" 327.
Ahh, come on. You guys don't wanna hear about trons and EW paste eating, do you?

I would.
For those interested in the IA:
- I am management. I work at the Brigade level. PowerPoint and email.
- Food is great.
- It is hotter than Hades.
- I am with the Marines and that is the best part. They really take care of you.
- For me, this is basically staff duty except you work every day and have to wear body armor to and from your can (housing).
I'll think of more stuff and post a thread.

I bought myself an A2 (NVD compatible), brought it with me over here, and haven't used it once. When I fly, the L-neck flashlight in my vest is plenty bright, and I have a finger light or two in my nav bag. There's no easy place to stash the Surefire with all the other crap overloaded into the vests. I carry two light sources in my flightsuit itself, a Black Diamond Ion headlamp (more on that below), and a compact red and white light LED flashlight that I got for $30. It's nice because if I ever needed it, I could use the red light without ruining my night vision. While I could put the Surefire in a pocket, I don't really need 3 light sources, nor would I need a green light walking around on the ground.
The Ion headlamp is the real gouge. Walking around over here at night is *pitch* black, especially in low light level conditions. The headlamp is tiny, it fits nicely into your pocket during the day, is way bright, lasts a long time, and keeps your hands free. It also dangles around your neck so you don't have to fish it out every time you walk outside - in fact, I'm wearing it now! Recommended for anyone and everyone heading this way.
(BTW - it's hot, but not *that* hot; calling it Yuma-like is fair. Very dry, though, and dusty as all get out. The chow is really good, though.)
