I'll throw in my 2c and say Herculanum is possibly cooler than Pompeii, but I haven't been to Pompeii in 5 or so years, and I know they've done a BUNCH of stuff recently.

Herculanum was great and is much less crowded than Pompeii. The audio tours at Pompeii are really good too, I'd recommend getting one at the entrance.

I was there TAD last year and followed all the advice from the thread to my great benefit. The only thing I'd add is that the Alibus was so much easier for moving between the airport and central station (where our hotel was). It was like four or five euro and you can just buy your ticket on the bus. It has its own lanes so it was also way faster (and less sketch) than a taxi (and easier to show proof for on travel report). I also booked a semi-private van tour for the Almafi coast on Viator and it was just awesome. The van picked us up at our hotel and took us to a few cities along the coast and a spot for lunch. The lunch spot was so so but everything else was awesome and we had more than enough to see the sites. We didn't have to deal with catching a train and a public bus so we were able to really enjoy our time and not worry about trying to get back. The last thing I'd add is that on the last Sunday of every month the museums in Rome (maybe elsewhere too?) are free so it's pretty crazy. We still booked a walking audio tour which basically turned into front of the line privileges which ended up being worth it since 3098430926820968 people were in line for the Coliseum.

From the latest Proceedings, I never worked for the man, but I do agree that the IDC/IWC has been a terrible boondoggle for intel. Cannot speak to the other communities. Navy Information Warfare: A Decade of Indulging a False Analogy quote:“A standard wholly false may have its error demonstrated with comparative ease, but no servitude is more hopeless than that of intelligent submission to an idea formally correct, yet incomplete. It has all the vicious misleading of a half-truth unqualified by appreciation of modifying conditions…”

It's not encrypted, it's just some MC with some stickers waiting for the day he gets to pick the schedule.

Those are definitely encrypted and require a special player. Also they expire.

So, I was on an IWC staff my last tour before I retired. I don't think IW should be given command of maneuver units but it makes a whole lot of sense to have an IWC as part of the CWC construct. It worked extremely well in our strike group but we had a really talented staff (present company excluded of course). I lol at the quoted article though because by and large Intel officers are really butthurt about the whole IWC concept and have resisted the idea since the word go.

The joke is that essentially every movie DVD ever made is encrypted. Ya'll might've heard of a little thing called deCSS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Scramble_System

Ya'll might've heard of a little thing called deCSS: Different type of encryption, and I still don’t think that was his joke. DVDs sent to ships aren’t just region coded or done with standard dvd copy protection encryption. It’s a step above. I thought the joke was that an MC was a brony and had just put classified/encrypted stickers on his favorite mlp movie.

The movies that get sent to ships are sometimes pre-release things. They have an extra encryption level to protect street dates and all that. And like MML said, they have expiration dates. We actually had our DTS casrepped on last ship for a while because it was down for over 8 months out of the year due to equipment failure. That bullet stayed red for so long.

If the Hamilton is going out on deployment or a major exercise they might get one. Those are the the only times I've ever had an MC on my DDGs. And your EMO sucked if they couldn't get that fixed. They're always supposed to know people and get things moving.

It wasn’t anyone on board’s fault. It was literally a sourcing issue with a particular piece.

Stultus Maximus posted:Why do you think Quebec is a commander rather than a coordinator? Honestly I can't every remember what the doctrinal reason was for creating the IWC. Why I think it works boils down to this: the stuff that the IWC does is really important in modern warfare and at the same time will be given short shrift by the other warfare commanders unless they are forced by having an IWC at the table as an equal.

I haven't heard of any restrictions from my friends still out there. Unless there's another really big ARI in 7th fleet over the next few weeks, I don't think that there will be any. Maybe increased patrols in the Honch and American Alley areas in the mean time though. All I know is my friend is going to be pissed if he can't go to our favorite bar during his last few weeks in Yokosuka. He deserves some good beer before he leaves.

Kawasaki Nun posted:Why would any country let Americans around their nation without liberty restrictions at this point? Because money. Just before I went to Japan in 2016, there was a really long and extremely strict liberty restriction in Japan because of several incidents. After it had gone on for a few weeks, the mayor of Yokosuka apparently talked with the base CO because the local businesses were dying without sailor patronage. Even just before I left, I was hearing rumblings that the mayor was going to go talk with the base CO again because while the restrictions weren't as bad as in 2016, the fact that we couldn't drink out in town still hurt a lot of businesses.

It's always been my guess that liberty restrictions are more about what USFJ/7th fleet thinks they need to do rather than what locals want or even expect. Just like I'm sure Busan is super happy about not getting those carrier port calls anymore or Atsugi/Yokohama having a thousand less people dropping cash off base.

Years ago my carrier pulled into Busan right after USFK implemented some draconian restrictions. The little time we got off the ship, we were passing all these bar and club owners who looked like they were about to cry.
