Only an Air Force Officer...
Only an Air Force Officer would use a 9mm Magazine holder to carry his three cell phones in a combat zone. One of the guys I replaced out here back in July had the same thing. There are so many different cell networks in Baghdad, you've got to have at least 3 to get anything done.
I have yet to see any Soldier or Marine doing this.
The funny part is watching them answer the wrong phones when one starts ringing. Of course we all carry enough ammo to invade a third-world country. The phones don't replce what we carry, just add to it.
Didn't you see Heartbreak Ridge? You never now when you'll have to phone home to call in an air strike.

I'm with chris! I won't even carry one. I'm not fond of phones, period!
Merry Christmas, Tony!

Cool idea! And if you get attacked you can call for help.
Merry Christmans, Major T, and to your fellow troops, too.
