Chuckle. Ran into that syndrome making flyaway packages for forward ops
in sandbox. (You'd think non-service DoD agencies would be
common-serviced by one of the military services, but no, gotta roll our
own, with mostly non-mil-spec hardware,) Anyway, people doing 90-180 day
tours were always ****ed when their comms and IT capability were not as
good as they were used to, back in CONUS.

What part of 'forward area' did they not understand when they
volunteered for the deployment?
