I through a Reporters camara out the window of my Blackhawk one time in flight over Iraq. It was a night flight under NVG's and I briefed them before we took off there will be know picture taking with flashes because the flash will be too brite under the NVG's and blind me and the rest of the crew and a flash at nighttime in the desert can be seen for miles and this could let potention enemy know our location and allow them to set up an attack. Well anyhow 5 minutes into the flight the guy takes a picture of the cockpit with a flash and it blinds everyone. I took my goggles off and I see him smiling so I took his camara and through it out the window somewhere in the desert. He complained and went to my comanders and tried to get me to pay for it but I got away with it because I specifically told him not to do that stuff.

You did the right thing, Adler. ANyone who knows the rules and violates them that way puts everyone at risk. I would have been tempted to throw HIM out of the helicopter!
Oh I was my friend, I was!

Somehow, I kinda figured you were. I know I would have been mad as hell, as I am sure you were. The worse part is that he was smiling about it. THAT would have made me really pissed off.
He was smiling because he knew he was not supposed to do it.

Exactly, like a defiant child.

I kept my laptop in my hooch at all times and kept it in a case when I was not using it but the dust from the sand over in Iraq is so fine that it just gets into everything. My laptop is loading up but it overheats very quickly and shuts itself down. It worked fine until I took it over there so I think that may be the problem.

Depending on the laptop, you can sometimes get the covers off and then blast away with some compressed air to clear out all the dust and sand. Some places will charge you a tidy sum to do just that. Unfortunately, some laptop cases seem to have been designed by Mr. Rubik.
Im to afraid to open mine up and then never get out the stuff that inside like pictures and music and stuff. I am getting it out one piece at a time and then I am just going to buy a new one.

I am working on it right now. My external hard drive just got back from Iraq today and everything should also be saved on there so I going to use that one because I can just plug it in and not have to worry about my damn laptop quiting on me evertime.
