Hi Dave, good to hear from you again. Sorry to say that I have no clue what sort of system they're using here. The Army has all their own acronyms, which they try to change on a regular basis to prevent anyone from ever actually understanding what they all mean. All I know is that there is an ethernet hub here that I plug my laptop into and it works.
While we were at Camp Doha, they were very restrictive as to the sorts of activities we could do. They blocked all outgoing ports except for http, and that went through a proxy that got increasingly restrictive as the war got closer. By the time the war started, just about everything but the army email site was blocked.
Now, it appears there are no restrictions here. Web access still goes through a proxy, and there are a few blocked sites, but since everything else is open I can just port-forward over SSH through my server at home if there's something I really need.
My IP appears to the outside world as 144.106.210.23 (they appear to be using NAT), so if you want to do some poking around feel free and let me know what you find.
Oh yeah, I'm glad I wasn't on the casualty list too.
