Stay safe over there,
My nephew did two tours, he had internet access at every base he was stationed at.
I did a few internet voice chats with him, the connect was better with him than it was my niece that lives 200 miles away from me.

Danny,
We used Skype.com and OOVOO.com to make free internet & web cam calls. You probably already know about them -
OOVOO seemed to take up more bandwith but it was cool to be able to have a 3 way Web Cam call between my wife, my Mom and me & the kids back home.
Also, you can send & recieve video messages through the Military AKO website.

Gunney Jones, I hope you and your unit have a fun and safe time in the sand box. Since we don't hear much we can assume things are settling down over there from what it was. Be safe and hurry back! Semper Fi, USMC 85/89

Well crud. Something weird happened -- I replied to this earlier, but I don't see my post. WTF??? 
Anyway, good luck over there -- I was on Kirkuk Regional Air Base (aka the "KRAB"), say hi to my old stompin' ground if you make it there...
Take care, Gunny!! Give 'em hell!

Endure is what I got to calling it towards the end. You endure by overcoming. Nothing great about those kind of deployments. Thanks for your service Danny, and be safe.

My thanks to you for doing this for us all. I'll sleep in peace tonight.
May your Commander-in-Chief treat you well, and make wise decisions for you.

Already unhappy with the current one. Less than a week. Glad I am out. Change has come.

LOL... Funny -- I got to thinking about it, and I served under Bush the elder 88-92, Jeb Bush as Gov of FL 95-99, Gov G. W. Bush as Gov in TX just before becoming Pres where of course I continued here in the TX Air Nat'l Guard. I think this is the first time in my career where there wasn't a Bush in my chain of command!
I also got to thinking.... Leave it to "Bad Billy" to serve his terms "between two Bush'es".
