You can get around this by making SSH listen to 443, as the military firewall will allow 443 (https) outbound.  Another option is to set up another box to listen to 80 as a proxy to the http server.  However, having ssh listen to both 22 and 443 would be the easiest solution.

Cheers.

Bob,

The real question you should be asking is why you would even contemplate
tunnelling through the paranoid firewall of a military base?

How about buying a dial up link and use their phone, or get them to provide a
stand alone internet connected workstation, then show them the site and make
modifications through that? If they want you to make real time modifications
while you are there they need to provide you with the resources.

Regards,
Jon
