Ok, glad they got some unrestricted stuff down there - is it free? We're paying $2/hr, so it limits you that way. There's talk of moving me to brigade for some S3 job, and I don't think they have anythoing except those AKO only machines. It's free but not totaly unrestricted, most porn is blocked ![[Crybaby]](graemlins/crybaby.gif) Doesn't matter now, not to rub it in but I'M BACK IN THE STATES AGAIN!!!!!! Ft. Carson has looser restrictions so they let looser pics through.  The only drawback is that theres always a librarian looking over your shoulder.

Well, everyone has there opinions of the STATE of the WORLD. I wish you guys were not out there in far off places being the private security force for the OIL COMPANIES....but, then again, you guys keep our oild prices low by doing so... I'll trade $3.00 gasoline to get our armed forces back in this country. You guys do not deserve to be fighting some 60 year old fat oil company executives war... I hate to hear each day that another young person is killed by some sort of "turf war", let alone a soldier sent into a foreign country. I think that this may end up being more like Korea, where as I understand, the "POLICE" action allowed weapons, but not ammunition.  Glad to see some troops ariving home, but sad to hear that others will to sentenced to the middle east for 1 year stints. Take care and keep your heads down. Remember to cast your absentee ballot during the next election though. It may be your ticket home.

They were awarded a "no-bid" open ended, cost-plus contract to extinguish oil well fires in Iraq. Now, whether there's anything illegal, nobody has really proven. Just a conflict of interest.
