So, Deano, you spent time at Aberdeen. Probably inhaled a lot of bad stuff in the air there, up wind from Edgewood Arsenal and all. On point, I love how pharma commercials tell me the elixir will help me but also could kill me. They remind me that mustard gas was once considered as a cancer treatment.

PIN = Personal Identification Number; so they're asking you to enter your Personal Identification Number number.

Worst bad air came after platoon's pizza and beer party. I was Arty Ammo Test Director so spent quite some time at Edgewood's impact fields that we used for various tests.
