<0> strider 3 letters
<1> yeah...
<0> IUD's
<2> and part of me is thinking "you know, i've seen so much of this in the media. Seeing it for myself, in person, would create a totally different perspective"
<1> IED
<0> er IEDs
<2> docfu: lol
<2> docfu: I was thinking "uhh, I"m not female"
<1> Improv urinal device?
<0> intra uterin device
<0> anyway
<0> i gotta sleep
<0> gnight
<3> oha.
<1> I got it..
<3> :>
<1> honestly- it's not that bad.... but, when it's bad...
<2> yeah, and nearly all the bad stuff happens to people who are out on patrol or convoy
<4> Except for the civilians that become hostages and get their heads cut off.
<1> yeah, but those are usually reporters and people who are 'out in the community'
<1> .... truck drivers, construction workers, etc
<2> Petskull: exactly
<1> ... the FOBs aren't 100% safe, either... they take IDF all the time...
<1> ... but you'll mostly be on the roofs of buildings or in them, right?
<1> less risk there..
<2> in the buildings, I may go up and inspect the dishes, but mostly, that's what PFCs are for. ;) (just kidding).. most of my work would be on the "Indoor Unit"
<5> you're going to afghanistan to wash dishes?
<2> OldMonk: no, to upgrade the electronics and software that operate the satellite dishes.
<5> oh, how boring! :)
<6> heh, I just found 600 colombian pesos in a package I received today
<6> let's see if this usb drive I got works
<7> cappicard: you know, you aren't supposed to speak openly about your packages from colombia
<6> heh
<2> it was funny... a few months back, our shipping guy opened up a case that he thought contained one of our piece sof equipment reutnred for service.
<1> Strider- for the most part, you'll be all right, you'll make a drum of money
<7> head-cutting isn't a very afghani tradition though
<2> instead it contained a grenade launcher, a rifle, and about half a dozen handguns
<6> nah. someone sent me quite a bit of hardware for helping him with his commerce website. I got several hard drives, wifi cards
<1> .... the only downside I see would be the time away from home
<2> Petskull: I haven't been home in a month anyhow...
<6> audigy2, radeon 9600 with dvi-I, s-video, db15,
<2> Petskull: it's only a 4 or 5 week trip
<6> a few audio CDs
<1> why did they send that stuff? smuggled it home?
<2> Petskull: some staff sergent mis-labeled the cases or something.
<1> how much for going?
<1> ($)
<2> Petskull: a decent amount.
<1> somewhere, some supply is cursing up a storm..
<1> how much would you get taxed?
<2> somewhere, some supply sergent got busted down a couple of ranks. ;)
<2> we turned the weapons over to the RCMP
<2> Petskull: my usual taxation rates, most likely... i'd have to ask my father (who's a tax accountant)
<6> wow. this 40GB usbdrive is a big as 3x5 index card and a half-inch thick
<1> Stride- go
<2> I think i'd dema nd the bonus, an additional 2 weeks of paid vacation (to unwind), and first cl*** tickets in and out of Kuwait
<1> .... but take my advice- learn all you can about weapons and defending yourself..
<8> makes it difficult to get to work when my pay is always late, and I have no gas in my car
<1> wow- I wish I'd done that..
<2> only weapons I've ever fired is a 12 guage p ump-action shotgun, and a .303 lee enfield rifle
<1> learn to keep up with the joes
<2> and I'll tell you.. with that shotgun, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn
<7> Strider: meh, slight misstake
<7> ah, scrollback
<8> 12 guage, 10 guage, 22 rifle and hand gun, and old time 6-shooter, a 30 ot 6 (not sure how to say that in .### format), plus a few others, is what I have fired
<1> your company should provide you with training before you go..
<7> Strider: Enfield .303 are neat
<7> Strider: a 100 year old design that is still in service can't be all wrong
<2> wlfshmn: this was a standard issue rifle from the Canadian Military.. (the lee enfield is still the standard issue rifle for the arctic rangers, since it's the only rifle that works reliably at -40)
<1> steak- 'ought' means 'zero (0)'... so.... '.306'
<7> Strider: ah. They are only standard issue for arctic rangers, I believe
<2> wlfshmn: yeah.
<7> Strider: lightly modified Enfield No4 Mk2
<2> one of the Inuit, who was in the rangers, let me plonk a few targets with his rifle
<7> Strider: Odd that you havn't rechambered those 7.62 I must say
<1> belive me man.... it's always the contractors that think nothing'll happen to them that get into the biggest messes..
<2> wlfshmn: the rechambering made the rifle less reliable, and reduced the round count in the magazine, iirc
<7> Strider: yeah, I'm sure they have a good reason ;)
<2> th eone I fired was made in 1942
<8> That is interesting...just walked into the bathroom, and for some reason there is an NVidia GeForceFX 5200 sitting on the counter
<2> geek
<7> Strider: it's not like it's a major problem. I don't expect there are all that many people to fire at that would invade canada through the arctic wastes ;)
<8> Strider: pffft, heh
<2> wlfshmn: yeah, primary purpose is polar bear defense
<7> Strider: And if the did, all you would want to do is slow them down and let them freeze to death ;)
<2> Petskull: yeah, the toughest part of the whole gig is gonna be running out to those helos with my stuff, my armour, and the tools and supplies I need for my job...
<2> that's ognna be a lot of weight
<1> yeah.... imagine the **** *I* jumped out of choppers with!
<7> Strider: They dressingj you up to look civilian, or .mil?
<9> heh
<7> uhm.. come to think of it.. if I'm to fly around with brand new weapoxnry.. mayber I should bring some ammuntion that fits the weapoxn..
<2> wlfshmn: I will be wearing officer's body armour
<2> probably the LTC's armour, since I think i'll be travelling with the master sergent
<1> what, exactly, is 'officer's body armor'?
<2> Petskull: the stuff I borrow from the LTC. :P
<1> oh- you mean one guy in particular?
<2> that's just how they refered to it when we chatted about it.
<10> Strider: Whatcha up to?
<2> i'm sure the armour is pretty much standard across the ranks
<1> they probably mean that his unit will be the one giving it to you..
<1> yeah.. the armor is all the same..
<10> Strider: Do you expect to be shot at?
<5> bbl
<11> www.devilpimps.com/index.php?id=3113 JESSICA ALBA NAKED..LOS ANGELES-- 25.08.2005--
<12> bah
<2> PolarWolf: I hope not to be, but well, if i'm going to .iq and .af, it's a distinct possibility
<10> Strider: Ahah, yeah, definitly
<10> Strider: Though be clear in indication you're canadian :)
<1> this is an over simplification, but...
<1> ...they can't his ****..
<1> hit
<2> I've got a nice little backpack that I'd probably wear for my own stuff/clothing... i'll put an appropriate flag on it, potentially...
<7> Strider: Canadian forces?
<13> care vrea linux prvt me
<14> quick question: wich chm viewer is the best: kchmviewer or xchm? (i use kde on suse 10)
<7> Strider: Then there are two types in use I think, both made by pacific saftey products, the main differance is the cover
<2> Canadian Civilian.
<7> Strider: well, yes, I ment the armor was from CF?
<2> wlfshmn: no, the armour is US Mil issue
<1> that's what he meant
<7> Strider: ah, i think the US use the interceptors across the board these days
<2> it would most likely be borrowed from the LTC in charge of our project
<2> hence why i've been refering to it as "officer's"
<1> I think it will be given to you by his unit...
<1> ... I have yet to meet an LTC who would part with his IBA..
<7> Strider: yeah, the unit will have spares. those things are single-use items after all. you'll likely jsut get a spare
<7> Strider: atleast while attached to a unit
<2> Petskull: the LTC is based out of Atlanta. :)
<6> I still am amazed how small this drive is
<2> and while you might want body armour in some parts of Atlanta, he doesn't need it on a regular basis. ;)
<7> heheh
<1> yeah, but it's an accountable item..
<1> is he a Bn commander? that's what I'm betting..
<2> I dunno, I'm just a support Engineer for the equipment they use for getting their signal out. ;)
<2> anyhow, I'm gonna go toss myself under the shower, then go out and see the sights here in San Antonio
<10> fredk: Eyh
<15> PolarWolf, whats up`
<10> fredk: Reinstalling teh laptop
<10> fredk: Got a new harddrive for it
