Have you ever been stuck overseas on deployment?

Its not as bad as it was when I was over there, when we only had one channel, but things like this are important to them. I’m glad they are getting to see it.

Do you remember when AFN used to shutdown at midnight until 0600 every night?

Yes, in Germany, and I remember the Superbowl was a big deal because there was not a lot of real-time bandwidth between the U.S. and Europe in those days and converting from NTSC (525 lines) and PAL (625 lines) was expensive with analog circuitry.
