Departure Imminent

All personnel be advised;

Meeting with Logistics Personnel was greatly productive. You will be hearing from your section leaders soon to discuss plans for our deployment to Egypt. But here are some basic things you should be aware of:

1) There is an understanding throughout the world that the Egyptian government is a "highly centralized political organization dominated by an oligarchy wielding absolute power". Whether this statement is true or not, PLEASE do not go around stating this to EVERY Egyptian you see. Sitting in cold prison cells and getting beaten by hard rubber hoses is a rather UNPLEASANT experience, and we have bigger things to worry about than insulting Egyptians. Keep your eyes on the prize, gents.

2) Some of you may have considered "dropping by" the pyramids and seeing what "tourist attractions" you can find. Let me remind you, the pyramids are thousands of years old. They've mostly been looted throughout the long ages, and whatever was left... Let me assure you, those Spartan death holes, swiss army knife tunnels, and Chuck Norris fighting cage are not worth the effort.

3) Although Egypt is a hot country, PLEASE DO NOT take your own air-conditioning units.

That is all for now,
- Out.
