Is his Access through a Military LAN/WAN? There may be some type of Electronic Key or Software Protection Adapter, for Data Security. Hopefully you'll get another Landline Contact with Corporal M and find out. Well, there’s always Old Fashioned Snail Mail. Is his Access through a Military LAN/WAN?

That one might get commandeered too. 'Course I'm speaking as a civvy. If we wanted equipment to get where it was intended, it had to be hand carried by a willing volunteer (who just happened to have a plane ticket going to the right destination). Since that could be years, we got used to low tech solutions. :) I’d be careful of that, Marine Dad. That one might get commandeered too. ‘Course I’m speaking as a civvy.

Cpl M called me this evening whilst I was wandering the aisles of Wal-Mart, relating that his computer has been commandeered. I don't know how often he will have access to another, or if the one he was using will be replaced soon. Just so you know, in case his frequent posting is affected. I wonder if I could send him a laptop? Some unfortunate news… Cpl M called me this evening whilst I was wandering the aisles of Wal-Mart, relating that his computer has been commandeered.

It's always nice to get served a Hot Meal in a Chow Hall, or get a Ride to a Mission. Having Comm call in Grid coordinates on a Machine Gun or Mortar Nest. We used to take DaNang as a habit when it was getting rough. I remember going in once with a Marine Comm Unit and seizing the Airbase, once. The Soldiers were Chearing "Recon's Here!". I did not have the heart to tell them the were just saved by Support. What's my point? Every Marine is a Basic Rifleman. I've been to Combat with just about every MOS you can imagine. I trust Every One of those Marines with my safety. You are Appreciated, Mark. I'm Proud to state that. My Marines will always make me Proud. It's what we are, YOU INCLUDED!
