Honest Sarge, a round went off near the tactically quiet generator, must have caused
a voltage spike and fried the drive & board that had the property book file.
Honest Sarge I'm not s***ting you !!!

A former officer who served in Vietnam said the first thing any mortar
or artillery rounds hit in a firebase was the property book. One single
round was always able to zero in on it and destroy it and all records of
what the unit had. Unfortunately now they are kept electronically, so
this isn't working in Iraq.
