Yep. Fropm Basra a couple of years back, after the Brits sprung a couple of their people from a local Iraqi hoosegow. Or Gaol, to the Brits. It's one of the pics I've got bookmarked and drag out when one of the young troops begins complaining about how hot the Nomex is.

The other time it's handy is when somebody says that Molotov cocktails won't work against modern vehicles with Diesel engines and fixed fire extinguisher systems. They may not work as well, but....
