Sounds like another great idea by our government...

I can't say I ever had free internet, becasue when its on a government computer they want you to use it for official business only.

They block websites especially forums and ebay.

They also turn it off when they want any time something happend they didn't want reported back right away by us then it was turned off, it sucks but I ended up on some bases that had internet cafes but I really ended up not really getting on the net to often other than emails.
When I got to Al Asad in they had satilite internet you could pay for and it wasnt cheap and it was horrible!


as far as not sending pork products I just don't get that **** I had pork all the time I hate that our leaders are so worried about conforming to their standards next thing is all the females will have one burkas!
