 are right though, all armor should be given a good look before GulfWar to 
 stop the Krandle factor. Glad you are back and safe Sigmommy.

'Tis true, 'tis true...  Your unfortunate collision with earth, via gravity,  
was not due to armor failure.  I just used you as an example of a war 
injury... you know, the hospital bills, time off work, pain and suffering.  
Yours was truly an *accident*.  I felt very badly that you were hurt.  I 
would have a hard time feeling that way over an armor failure, especially if 
there is ample time and opportunity to fix a known problem...

To my way of thinking, there is no excuse (if you have access to the 
handbook) for having sub standard armor.  Thorgrim has had 3 broken bones, 
and he his armor meets or exceeds the standards.  Imagine the injuries in 
less than standard gear.

The bottom line is that it is easier to fix it at home, and have a good war, 
than to hope that you can eek through the inspection process and possibly be 
seriously injured.
