Not quite that high tech yet.
Still just a paper card.

Dave, all overseas bases are different in what they limit, but they have specific items that soldiers can only buy a certain limit of per month, and they keep track of it on the rations card.
Germany-Hohenfels they limited us on smokes, booze, and coffee
Kosovo-Bondsteel they limit us on smokes, booze, and electronics over 150 euro...

I think the reasoning is so we aren't buying stuff we have easy access to and either reselling it out on the economy, or giving it away to the local nationals.

Yea we had that but you threw me because it was concerning hard goods.

Keep getting error code 0x80070570. I'm installing 64bit win7 pro. I'm doing custom install so it formats my harddrive.

I've googled the code and the only somewhat fix I've found is the guy said his ram was bad. Well I know my ram is good and I've tried a different brand. I also reset all speeds to stock.

This problem existed even during the beta release. Any help would be appreciated.

I have it on one computer, it's way better than vista, no issues with it.
