Thank God for Email.
I lucked out and could get access about once a day in Afghanistan, it made things easier. When my Dad was in Vietnam, email wasn't an option.
However, the military will block subversive sites like AOL making contact difficult.
Unfortunately, my paranoid Vietnam Vet Father is afraid of idenity theft, and doesn't do eamil, that meant about 14 days between snail mails. And since I didn't have envelopes, and the PX was empty, had to make do.
God Bless the Military Families. They Need it.
Screaming Eagle, been there, done that.

Unfortunately, my paranoid Vietnam Vet Father is afraid of idenity theft, and doesn't do eamil, Look into one of the boxes that's not really a computer and only does email. We got one of those for my mother in law, after my father in law refused to allow "his" computer to be connected to the internet, which as we all know is full of porno and who knows what all. :).
(BTW, he is WW-II vet, as is my father. I'm (late) Vietnam era, technically at least, as I was "alive in '75" and on active duty then, although I'd never claim to be a Vietnam Vet)
