I found your comments on women in the military interesting. A little too diplomatic, though.
Yes, well I'm trying to avoid sensitivity training upon my return to civilization.
It also [provides for] potential sexual situations.
Yes, I didn't mention the sexual situations; we do have those here. We had a discussion about its effect on mission and morale and the general opinion is that as long as the Soldiers are not on the same mission or perhaps in the same unit, it shouldn't be a problem. Soldiers are prohibited from having intimate contact of any kind or being alone in a room with a person of the opposite sex. Our new XO said we'd go to jail for having sex, but that's either hype or for the penalty for the umpteenth offense, for it hasn’t stopped even those who have been caught.

Colin: Why are those jets flying like that?
Kip: Like what?
Colin: In tight circles around the I Zone at such a high elevation.
Clean: ‘Cause Hajji hates that sound.
Patriotic New Americans
I met a Soldier from Estonia today. She is a mental health specialist and gave us a briefing on stress. She was so well spoken and professional, I thought she might be doing graduate work. It turned out she and her husband won the US Green Card Lottery and she enlisted to be part of what she referred to as this great adventure.
I agree with the Pentagon’s and the Administration’s rhetoric on Old and New Europe. Though the terms may not be accurate, Eastern Europe loves their newly acquired freedom.
