LOL at the haters.

1.  It was joke for those with senses of humor and know me (Randy got it),
but I top post when others do.  I bottom post when others do.  I just go
with the flow.  I am not uptight about it.....

2.  I have never heard that but it may be true.

Personally, I have been shot at on top the Iraqi Government building in the
IZ from the Red Zone.  I was setting up and troubleshooting the Motorola
Canopy WiFi system.  Just a few 7.62x39 rounds, nothing I would call heavy
fire.

The only "Heavy Fire" I took was standing on top of one of the buildings at
the FOB trying to trace a cable and the ricochets from the firing range were
landing all over the place.  That happens when 30 guys are training with
AKs  and a T-Wall as the backstop.

I have deployed Asterisk systems in war zones many times, in West African
countries, Iraq, Baltimore and South East DC.  I would certainly seek
shelter/defensive position if there was gun play.  LOL, you can wish
yourself into a gun fight but you cannot wish yourself out.

It would also be a whole lot easier for someone to physically feed me so my
hands could be free to work in hostile environments, maybe an LN can bring
me a portable toilet and make sure it is fresh, that would make everything
so easy and easy is what we all want.

Heck, I could just set it up at the FOB and then deploy it.

At any rate, I asked the guy to post his success, so I am not sure why you
posted, but thanks.  It only takes 10% truth to make a legend.

Thanks,
Steve T
