I am Rob and it took me 4 years to start posting here after registering and 50 some posts. Currently I am serving in Iraq due to come home later this year. Boredom at work fueled me to start posting...So yeah....thats it.

Hello! Well then, good thing you decided to start posting again! So I guess this is more of a "Welcome back!" than a "Welcome!", is it not?

I'm glad to hear you return home later this year. :)

Welcome back to the forums. :) Although I don't agree with anything happening there I am glad you are ok.

Thanks for serving and good luck. Do you have to pay for your internet service while oversea?

If you don't want it in your 'room' then you can use it at work or places they call MWR's (Morale, Welfare and Recreation) where you can do things like watch tv, play ping pong, rent movies, use the internet, etc. I have it in my room and its about 150+ every three months. Only bad thing is that it is satellite internet and when we have a bad duststorm (think blizzard but switch out snow with dust/sand) the service gets interrupted pretty badly

Must have high latency on on a satellite link?

as with others, Welcome back!

It is generally quick. Sometimes almost touching cable like speeds.
