#2 Probably not a bad idea, especially around the Talibs, who seem to have the ISI's data division at their disposal.

Must be mostly due the 'rear echelon' guys. Our Sargent didn't have time for such stuff in the 'forward' areas.

#3 Boy, these kids today have it easy. Back when I was on active duty, when we were at sea, we were lucky to get mail every couple of days - and that was only if we were operating with a carrier.

#4 Sounds like MARCENTCOM, etc. doesn't want to take any chances, as the 2009-2012 POTUS Period is likely the most decisive time of the GWOT, for both the US-Allies as well as the MilTerrs, espec wid IRAN nuclearizing + other proliferations.

#5 Funny that the Army sees it the other way and actually uses deep packet inspection and filtering at the gateways.
