Re: Traveling to S. Africa -- Need advice (military)
I did a month long Euro trip back 2005. I ate something bad on the first leg of the trip in the Netherlands and I couldn't keep food down for a few days. Then walked a shit ton in the Paris and southern France. The last week and half I spent exploring Italy and I couldn't eat a lot of food on restaurant menus because I'm allergic to tomatoes.
I was size 40 waist and on the last notch on my belt at the beginning of the trip. Between getting food poisoning, walking a shit ton, and not eating I lost about 20lbs and my belt became no good. I searched endlessly for size 38 belts allover Italy with no luck. Needless to say my pants were on the ground looking like a fool the last few days. Moral of the story is waistlines expand and contract so leave room for it on your belt. Also, size 38 belts are for fatties and regular stores don't carry sizes above size 36 in Italy.

Re: Traveling to S. Africa -- Need advice (military)
Easy way to establish a rapport with the Marines; Bring your best Obama joke, tell them about Fox news' Obama/ Osama screw up Sunday night and let them know you're a sports fan. Regardless of the team they each root for it'll break the ice, learn all you can about the lockout, it'll be a common topic.
