There are ways to get the readers to work with a Mac but by for the easiest is to use a virtual machine with a windows client on it or Bootcamp on your Mac. I use a Mac at home and I have it set up to be able to use a CAC in OSX but I still start up a Windows VM every time I need it. With OSX every time Apple does an OS update you don't know if your reader is going to work or not. With windows updates very rarely affect an ID reader.

Ahhh, got it. I worked the JOC and then the Super JOC on the SOF side. We needed some good IT guys over there. Actually the IT guys formed a cigar club at the CJSOTF, I would take a break from kill TV to sit and BS with them.

I deployed to Afghanistan a couple years ago, black trunks were able to be shipped in and out, I had several. I'm not sure about size restriction though.

thanks. it is apparently still the 108 inches or whatever it was and 70lbs or less.

I shipped out 1 trunk, 2 pelican cases, and 3 or 4 of those api/fpo flat rate boxes on the 29th, hoping they would be there when I got there. they all made it in like 8 days and are waiting in my room. All I have to do now is catch a damn bird before it gets cancelled LOL
