Bosnia (TF Eagle)/Kosovo (TF Falcon) as well.  Hell, porn was forbidden stateside during OIF IV mob back in '05.  Brass got nailed for moving porn over SIPRNET.  They were eating up 60% of the satellite bandwidth, which honked off the satcom guys.  We enlisted just used external hard drives with TrueCrypt.  My going rate was $50 per hour per HD, plus a copy of all the porn you had that I didn't.  Didn't exactly watch the stuff myself, but it paid very well.  Paid a couple PFC's to sort the stuff out by catagory, another SPC to do anti virus scans.  A tidy business on a 15 month deployment.

When we went to a Cobra Gold one year they gave us a packing list for SW Asia.

One of my teamleaders to the XO, and I quote, "No porn?!  We're going to freaking Thailand sir.  I can buy a twelve year old boy there for 10 bucks."

Depends on what sort of unit and if the XO is a prick.

It was pretty clear he was joking, the XO laughed.
