As an Army civilian, I often wonder how different my life would be if I wore one of those fancy uniforms. Sometimes
I don't want to know what I'm missing. Here are a few highlights:
174. Furby ® is not allowed into classified areas. (I swear to the gods, I did not make that up, it's actually DOD policy).
This is actually true. Furbies can learn words and phrases and then they will speak them at random. Therefore they are technically considered recording devices. I believe this came about when some analyst had a furby on his or her desk and then had it learn some things it shouldn't. If you bring one into a classified area, you have just created a classified furby. We have trouble with a lot of cell phones, mp3 players, and cameras for similar reasons.
167. Not allowed to operate a business out of the barracks.
168. Especially not a pornographic movie studio.
169. Not even if they *are* "especially patriotic films."
This is actually a lot less funny than you might think. With the gender integration of the military, soldiers/sailors making porn themselves when they can't get it somewhere else is not unheard of. They get bored and find things to do. When you have a sexually integrated military, sometimes the things they find to do are each other. Sometimes they bring cameras along. The military is not at all happy about this.
