Since I've worked in IT for 18 years but usually done scut work, I don't have any ideas. I'd appreciate suggestions with personal experiences.

I expect to be on chow-and-FOB-cleaning detail. So I and my squad will be driving 45 minutes to fetch food for the company, and cleaning latrines, refilling handwashing stations, fueling generators and heaters, and emptying trash barrels. Allegedly the COL and SGM will come and serve us turkey, though. But, by and large, I will be having "a normal and uneventful day."

Seems to me that 1) they would be better served to sue the government for something that is definitely going to cause them to suffer loss in the future, such as the massive annual deficits and the currently humongous federal debt, and 2) they probably don't have much of a case, since they can't prove that the losses will actually materialize. Seems likely you can only sue if you've actually BEEN harmed, not because you think you're GOING TO BE harmed. Of course, they're stupid teenagers, being put up to it by their teachers/parents, I'm sure, and as such they don't understand that. Great publicity for their (incredibly stupid?) lawyers, though.

Sorry for the anonymous post. Hadn't logged in yet from work. Thanks for all the suggestions, and for pointing me at "Captive portal." All your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Have a blessed week.

We've recently added wireless access points to our Family Life Center, but the committee chair isn't comfortable with allowing unrestricted access to our network. We host a lot of guests during the week for Upwards basketball practices and on Saturdays for games, so we want to restrict internet access to the Sunday school classes held in that building. Unfortunately, neither he, nor I, know anything about setting up a wireless catch-and-release like in hotels. If anyone could point me at good documentation, I would be very grateful."
