[MilCom] USMC Exercise in VA 10/31/07 thru 11/11/07

[Joe Cobb]

Must be nice to live in these areas.  Even where this
is going to be conducted is not anywhere near the
coast.  The Amry (Ft Campbell) never would consider
doing an exercise of this magnitude.  I seriously need
to move!!  I'm taking moving donations.
