No I didn't lose one, but if I did I wouldn't pay anywhere near 3g's to get it back. Our military powers that be, should seriously consider attending some bargain hunting seminars.
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.
