GQuon's Journal: The guys in green.

Yesterday I faxed my parents a few sheets of an armor recognition manual. They were wondering what all those tanks and APCs were.

My parents are living in Trondia, the southern province of Utopia. And they're living right on the border with Rana, the northern province of Utopia. International forces have been deployed to the area, and hostilities broke out last wednesday. Since my father is from Trondia, and my mother is from Rana, we might get in trouble because of our mixed ethnicity.

Back in the real world, the real problems have been a car run over by a Leopard main battle tank (no injuries) and a few cars driving off the roads. (Slippery).

Here's English news from Exercise Battle Griffin 2005. With a bit more news in Norwegian.

I would be out there driving supplies for the US Marine Air-Ground Task Force, but I got a college deferrment.

EDIT: And near my aunt's place, a CV-9030 APC ran into a house. The house belongs to a driver's instructor who owns the local rally cross track. Oh, the irony.
