Nope, no sat phones, no gps, just this lousy Iraq cell phone. The Army jams comms all the way up to sat phone 50% of the time. The insurgents use cell phones and such to trigger IEDs here, so any comms is iffy.

Yeah, I have an LED light in my pocket, and a zippo lighter as well. Not much chance of being separated from the compound except when going to chow or the PX and then it is along well travelled highly public paths and in groups. You might have to dodge a mortar or two, but you're not going to be nabbed in the green zone unless you are truly foolish.

If we are overrun, which is a remote possibility, then it is every man for himself, and if I can scavange a firearm I will add it to what I already have. My BOB stays with me, just in case.
