"I'm a mechanic in the Army, ran into this problem with AC systems on the Bradley. 120+ degrees sucks for electronic systems, I couldn't tell you how much money was lost buying new parts where it could have been prevented by having the ability to maintain already stalled AC."
"When I was in Iraq, we had a juniper firewall go down, didn't have another on back up, and they had to fly a contractor out from the states to Iraq, to change it out. Took 10 minutes to diagnose the problem, and 3 days of waiting, and 15 minutes to install it...
