"Unless Diego Garcia has changed a lot since 1978 when I was stationed there, its a 26 mile by 1 mile strip with a good airstrip, coral sand, tedium, and no women."

My uncle was there just after 9/11 (he was in Oman on 9/11 & was flown there).
He was there for a couple days afterward & said it was, hands down, the most boring place on earth!

And he would be right. Messrs. Daniels, Bacardi, and Stolichnaya helped me survive my tour, and I got VERY good at fishing and running.
