I found this while reading the 2ID Weekly Update:

NEW! INDISCIPLINE COP: The Area 1/2ID Provost Marshal’s Office currently maintains an Indiscipline Cop that tracks larcenies, sexual assaults, assaults, drugs, and underage drinking; as well as, statistical data on victims and subjects of the above offenses throughout Area 1. This COP is designed for the 2ID Commanders to maintain situational awareness of acts of Indiscipline throughout their Area of Operation and to assist them in encouraging their subordinates to avoid areas deemed as “trouble spots”.

In a ROK Drop exclusive I have been able to get a picture and interview with the new 2ID Indiscipline Cop:

You would probably have to be in the Army to find this funny, but here is Great Moments in Reflective Belt history:

(HT: Milblogs)

No more curfew and off limits areas are needed in places like Hongdae in Seoul anymore, courtesy of some brilliant scientists in Japan.  These scientists have discovered a spray that has the potential to allow foreigners and GIs to safely intermingle once again with the Korean citizens of night club areas like Hongdae. 

The Axe body deodorant spray causes Japanese females to immediately swarm towards Japanese men wearing this spray.  Just look at these Japanese Maiko fleeing from this hapless foreigner when a Japanese man wearing the spray rides by on a bicycle:

If Axe can make a spray that can cause Maiko to flee those big, bad, stinky foreigners in Japan than surely they can make a spray that would cause those naive, innocent Korean girls in Hongdae to flee the evil, drunk GIs and into the warm embraces of the Axe spray wearing, gentle, decent, kind Korean men that frequent the Hongdae area. 

Every soldier knows the Hongdae off limits order is not about "force protection reasons", but about keeping he big, bad foreigners away from Korean women, so here is a way to do it.  The police in Hongdae should be armed with this spray.  As soon as they see a helpless Korean woman talking to a foreigner the police should swoop in and spray the nearest Korean man in order to protect the naive, innocent women of Hongdae.  Peace and joy will return to the streets of Hongdae ironically enough due to the invention of somebody even worse than those big, bad, stink foreigners; the white washing of history, Dokdo denying, not quite as stinky, Japanese.

I saw this link over at the Marmot’s Hole and I have to say this is one cool ride:

Compare this to the standard military model:

This is one pimpin ride.  Take a look at the interior:

Here is how this ride is described:

This vehicle was made from Russian “BRDM”, if to translate literally it is “Combat Reconnaissance/Patrol Vehicle”, armored scout car made in Russia.

There were plenty of such in Arabic countries like Iraq or Iran or Syria also.

But this is not a regular military vehicle. It was bought by a Moscow entrepreneur and was pimped up heavily.

First of all it is an amphibian vehicle – it can both move by roads and swim by rivers or lakes.

It is powered with V8 5.5 diesel engine  to carry its multi ton body across the Russian roads. It has four general wheels  but there are four more, hidden under its bottom, if somebody comes to a road like this he can push a button and use four additional wheels to make his road.

It has of course a multi speaker sound system, GPS navigation, TV, DVD and a periscope to see clearly what’s going on when you are swimming across the nearest lake. Also there is a sonar mounted with which the car owner can monitor the water under his so to say car. Night vision system is there too.

The car is fully registred in road inspection so the owner can drive across the normal roads, and then go to the lake for some fishing or water skiing, after that at night he can come to Moscow casino without visiting home.

I wonder if he has ever taken this thing on a lake and popped the turret hatch and went fishing?  Maybe Nomad could use one of these things? :)  Speaking of the turret I wonder if he has ever gone hunting with the standard 14.5mm KPV heavy machine gun or the smaller 7.62mm machine gun that is usually installed in a BRDM turret?  This is a redneck’s dream machine.

I wonder if some time in the future someone will be motivated to pimp out an American Stryker?
