"The XO's lost and he has the generator and seat"
I also suspect being surrounded by bad guys would rank right up there...
Frequencies unsuitable for the distance is one I lived with...rear detachment at Devens could hear us 5x, but from where we were in Holland to the SFOB at Sculthorpe, we were not doing so well...FOBs in Italy and Norway were picking us up...

My MRAP was on its side and the SATCOM antenna was pointed the opposite direction from the look angle.

We are communicating sir, it's just that no one hears us!
Were these batteries bought from the lowest bidder again?
