“Since I'm deployed and living in a tent, do the bag nights count?” 10:41:08 AM 1/08/05 “double bagnight coupons for you.” 10:44:08 AM 1/08/05 “hold on, that's his job. it won't count.” 11:20:37 AM 1/08/05 “They definitely count. Where are you?” 11:24:08 AM 1/08/05 “hellyeah they count. I'd say they count double if your in a combat zone.” 11:34:06 AM 1/08/05 “hahaha, starting trouble now!! it does not count. just because he is in the military... that's his job. so it would count every time they go into the field? na, it doesn't count!!!! It does NOT count!!!” 11:45:50 AM 1/08/05 “How about these guidelines: If you're sleeping in a military installation, such as a base or airfield with permenant buildings that have sleeping quarters, mess facilites, recreation, perimeter security, etc, then it doesn't count. If you're in the field sleeping in tents, abandoned buildings, in your humvee, etc, I'd say that counts on a night-for-night basis. If you're a sniper or intel out in the filed surviving by your own wits, with a hightened sense of stress and paranoia, I'd definately consider those nights for some "double credit." Kind of like surviving a massive storm while high on a Himalyian or Alaskan peak! Good luck. BTW - where are you located? Not specific, just a general location such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Indonesia . . .” 12:13:15 PM 1/08/05 “Fredonia ??” 12:15:37 PM 1/08/05 “I like top dawg's parameters. That seems fair.” 12:21:31 PM 1/08/05 “yep” 12:28:50 PM 1/08/05 how bout this... “If rockets and bullets are buzzing by your head while camping out, then triple points are awarded.” 12:45:17 PM 1/08/05 “Hey, if you're "on the clock" it can't count!” 12:46:24 PM 1/08/05 “How 'bout if you're getting paid plus bonuses and are on an expense account? That's how I did Mt. Fuji, where I spent a night in a shelter near the top.” 12:54:35 PM 1/08/05 NS... “that absolutely counts..I call that creative business exploitation. No worries there dude. I do it all the time.” 1:13:01 PM 1/08/05 “Sorry to cause all the fuss. Get out you globes kiddies, and train your little eyes of thr Horn of Africa region. I'm in the tiny country of Djibouti. It's national flower is a plastic bag, modern day tumble weeds if you will. Rocks, dirt and trash as far as the eye can see. Wake up every morning to the smell of goat crap and burning trash.” 11:11:14 AM 1/09/05 “that place doesn't sound so nice. I think I'll fix my gaze else where. last edited: 1/09/05 11:15:27 AM” 11:14:35 AM 1/09/05 “Good description, you get triple bag nights.” 11:17:16 AM 1/09/05 “Hey Broken - don't worry, it's all in good fun here.

Thanks for being out there for your country. last edited: 1/09/05 5:02:16 PM” 5:01:38 PM 1/09/05 “What is that disco song? Sheik, Sheik, Sheik, Shiek Djibouti!?” 5:03:20 PM 1/09/05 “yeah, I'll give up. Top dawgs rules are fine with me I guess.
