You misunderstand (or perhaps not :-)).  The machine will be used for work
and to play games.  The Temporary Duty trip to Honduras is R&R from Ft. Lee
because I hate being the Executive Officer for a Training Company.  It will
be so nice to get back to the real Army (whatever that is, and Ft. Lee
definitely is not it).  I look forward to having a platoon of real trips and
real missions every day as opposed to the fairy land here at Fortress Lee.
