In the infantry we were trained by an advanced squad leader.

AFN and being stationed in isolated places that got the super bowl 2 weeks late, It was easy to cut the cable when I got out of the service.

Afrts is about the worst govt propaganda you can be exposed to. Tell him he is actually befitting from not having to hear it. Go outside! Take a walk!!

One laptop and an internet connection. And a bit of ‘know how’.

There are plenty of sources for sporting venues.

Our troops are essential as far as reporting to duty stations and doing their duty. Just non-essential for recreation, etc.

Most politicians are so despicable.

Shutdown? OK, lets play some hardball. ANY politician that has a government paid cell phone, his/her service should be shut down as well. Until a shutdown effects “everyone”, none of the game playing will ever cease.

Prior to the internet we attached a feedhorn to an illuminator on one of our ships and had live TV. One of the Firecontrolmen wrote a program to keep it focused on the satellite. I’m certain most bases will find a way to rectify this, legal or not.

In the ‘60s on the Forrestal, the only tv was in the ready room, that I recall (Maybe there was one on the Mess Deck.) And it only showed the lively action on the flight deck.

Don’t know WHAT the escort group watched /sarc

Our deployments were 9½ and 8½ months long with a fairly brief turn-around between.

Kent State came and went and probably 95% of us didn’t even know it happened.

Television, on deployments?

I don’t think the actual problem is being identified here.

Which branch of the Service were you in?

Someone should put a picture of Shyster Schumer’s smug Liberal face on the TV screen with “Thanks to the Schumer Shutdown there will be no TV.” Take a picture and send it to all the families back home so they can forward it viral!
