Out of town, blogging to fall off
January 12th, 2008 by Double Tap
Hey Everyone, I’ve started the last two (thank God) classes for my Master’s degree and now I’m leaving for a week to an Army conference. So, my ability to devote a lot of time to the blog is significantly reduced, at least for the time being. I’ll try to throw something up every once in awhile just to keep it alive.
Keep me in your RSS readers so you’ll know when something new is posted.

I’m curious if you have heard something about this relatively new item on the battlefield?
From something called the Middle East Times:
U.S. troops deploy new weapon in Iraq
U.S. forces in Iraq are using a high-resolution, thermal/infrared sensor system that turns night into day and helps protect troops as well as bring security to towns and cities.
The European-made system (the cheapest model is reputed to cost about $1 million) is called GBOSS, an acronym no one seems to know the meaning of. But troops call it a godsend.
“It’s terrific,” said Pvt. Joshua Bernard, who was manipulating the system’s “eye” with a joystick one night in a command post. “This thing is by far one of the best things we have. It makes life much easier, especially for the guys who’d have to do night duty in the guard towers if it wasn’t for this.
“The Iraqis think it has a laser beam we can zap them with.” (there is more)
