Tulivu: I feel you. ;)
Our whole FOB was working off of .5 MB of the internets (God forbid the officers live with out their Blackberries) so traffic was kept to a minimum. Brass just about drove me up a wall. What is the point of field exercises when you want a modern office set up on a fucking mountain?

GameRager: So you're mounties then? 0.o
Hehe :D
Also what's FOB?
Sorry for the EUUA (Entirely Unnecessary Use of Acronyms).
FOB is forward operating base. It is a improvised base that is set up closer to the action.
My unit was participating in the Marine Corps Javelin Thrust training in Bridgeport, California. It was mostly mountain warfare exercises and live fire ranges (including the Javelin Missile).
Fun Fact: Each Javelin Missile we fired was worth around 120,000 $.
EDIT: Fun Fact: My unit had a little money left in its ever-shrinking budget so they bought 20 military dirt bikes for the Javelin Thrust. It didn't occur to them that no one had any training or licence for them. They idiocy at least did not include bringing them anyway.
