Do soldiers in Iraq get access to high speed internet at the base?

Lions88 asked:


Do all American soldiers/servicemen get access to high speed internet at their bases in Iraq? I guess land lines wouldn’t be in that good condition as the infrastructure is trashed so would they use wireless/satellite. Are soldiers restricted in browsing the internet like only certain sites are they allowed to do stuff like download games or movies? Do officers get more internet time than privates?

    I was over there, and yes, for the most part they do. It depends on what base their at and for how long, I can’t say anymore then that though, as far as who gets more or what they use to get it frankly thats none of any bodys business except for the soldiers that are there. Sorry.

    Yes we get internet access here, however as stated before me, there isn’t much more I can tell you due to “opsec” (operational security). Yes we can buy movies at our stores, everyone gets the equal amount of time on the net.

    Yes the soldiers do have internet access…not every base though, the bigger the fob the better luck you have of being able to have it in your room, but you pay a fee and the connection isn’t always great. They also have facilities that have the internet like MWR, but you have a time limit and there can be quite a line at times.
    I don’t believe that officers get more time, if they use the MWR they go by the same rules as the lower enlisted. And the MWR may have some restrictions on what sites you can use.
