It's a new Army these days... You can bring most anything that'll fit into your foot locker, at least that's how it was with our unit.... There're so many laptops, x-box's, ps2's, lcd t.v.'s, and whatever else a soldier needs to make himself get through this hellhole that is Iraq.... I know myself and others have hooked our laptops up to the internet... Not really a security risk, at least with us... Only 5 more months; HOOAH!!!

My uncle has his laptop with him now in Iraq and any emailing he does it has to be scanned and listed under classified and unclassified...but most of the time he emails from an army computer not his personal one.
"And Its cold outside, and i can feel the winter..."

If you are hooking your personal laptop up to the military network then it is a huge security risk. You are exposing all the rest of the computers on the military network to any viruses worms or trojan horses that your computer may have picked up. If those viruses etc. infected military computers they could lead to the leak of classified information.
