Update to Kill them with Connectivity

I saw more Chinese today at the Exchange. They were in working uniforms (coveralls..some of them Dickie's!), they all had name tags with their rate like OS (operations specialist, which is what I did in Navy), or RM (radio man), their name in Chinese and then under that, their rank like E2 and their name spelled out.

I saw some of the Chinese sailors using their cellphones. Think about it. Chinese sailors on a US Navy base, basically unescorted. Chinese sailors using cellphones. In the US!

Update/correction
It turns out that the Chinese left on Wed and the Taiwanese Navy came in on Wed. So, I saw Taiwanese sailors with their cellphones. That makes it even more crazy - Chinese one day, Taiwanese the next. Maybe they saw each other's ships transiting the San Diego bay?
