@stationmum101 Joining in the IR posting. This 'stuff' is the reason I didn't drink coffee until I had my first espresso 5 years after I left home.
I honestly thought I didn't like coffee.
@BUSTERMCD@RocketPulpHack Since when do troops get told anything until it's too late? :)
Officer: "Hey guys, you're going on a black op.
Grunts: "Awesome! Where & what for?"
Officer: "Shut up and don't compromise op-sec!"
"Look, those two specimens are worth millions to the bio-weapons division. Now, if you're smart, we can both come out of it as heroes and we'll be set up for life."
OP-sec & minimising witnesses. The military was doing an off-the-books op for the company. The grunts were disposable.
