Unless he does it to you first, of course. We often found that other services' gear became adrift and was given a shorter time period to become re-acquainted with its owner. The USAF has the best gear to procure outisde of official channels.I aeem to remember an occassion in Iceland by the zoomie barracks......

I can tell it's as old as OIF. The seat barely stays on. The power cuts for a few seconds here and there around lunchtime, but it's no big deal. Sam,

I am almost 100% positive that the old wooden desk you guys found and put in your trailer was originally in my trailer! Believe it or not, my Gunny found it for me in one of the abandoned buildings in the camp, and I used it a lot like you do, to hold my stereo. Stay strong Marine, and I hope that the power stays on in the trailer park better than it used to... Jeff,
