Well, the Marines ARE looking for a few good men! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

But he didn't say it was another Marine! (did he)

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Good point! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I did say it was another Marine.

No more info on the caller though, besides increased patrols around base and raised FPCON on base and at the gates.

Good to know that all is quiet on the German front! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm going back to bed, but ya'll have a GREAT day! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I sure hope it is all nothing more than someone wanting to cause problems by making threats that are never acted out.

Take care Tom, Tell the General I said hello!

I just got my 10w Powerfilm foldable solar panel and compatible AA/AAA battery charger with USB adapter. I will never run out of electricity downrange again. I have a battery grip attached to my Nikon that takes AA batteries, SteriPen that takes AA, AA powered GPS, iPod that uses USB to charge and LED flash light that runs on AA. Black Forest prepare yourself. I will be invading you soon with my hightech toys

Got any pics or a link? sounds interesting.

Looks like I will have to check when I get home, relief is here, bye,

I got a military version, but this is the same thing in black. I saw some test videos where they shot about six holes in it and the power output barely went down. You can pick one up a 10w for about $100 on Amazon. Other sites have them listed for $300. 10w version is a little more than you need to charge four AA at a time. I got this one so they'll charge faster. It comes with a car lighter outlet. You virtually charge anything that has a lighter adapter.

Hum... Wonder what all a 10 watt would run. A radio I am sure, but what else?
