positive body language at brisbane meeting, page-4

It sounds like you live somewhere near Beaudesert? I have a very good friend who lives there and every time I get to Qld I go and see him and do some fishing with him!

Like you said the Force Protection announcement is HUGE and more than likely went over a few heads who aren't across what it means, when all of the paperwork is done and the items are listed for Force Protection , they then become simple COTS items, that means that any department in the US (CONUS)can purchase these items under the HSA up to the value of around $5 million from memory on any one docket, and also some other departments that work outside the US (OCONUS) like contractors to the US can also purchase these items under certain circumstances.
