You will have enough to worry about. BELIEVE ME!

Keep your but down, and don't drink the water. Unless it comes from a bottle.
First off, thank you all for your service! I'm a writer working on a character who is a CD in the military, and was wondering about what an inspection is like while on deployment, specifically in Afghanistan. Would you be allowed to have a personal laptop in your living quarters? If so, could somebody check your internet browsing history as part of an inspection? For example, someone discovers that you were on CD sites, even if it was before you were actually deployed. Just wanted to know if this is possible, am trying to be accurate.

Thanks very much!
