I joined the Navy in 94 (got out in 98). Reading these comments is giving me PTSD. I still had to mail letters and remember my calling card number to make calls when I got into port. That was the only way I could stay connected with home.

The fact that people serving in the military get ANY connection is blowing my mind right now. Especially given the operational tempo I am assuming they have to deal with day in and day out. I know for me every other day was a 21-hour day. Thinking about having internet while forward deployed just sounds exhausting.
