I am on my way to Balad Sunday and

[HamHands]

have a question. Can you watch live Hog games over the internet? I will be there 'til mid October.

[jabohog]

Balad, that's about 60 mile north of Bagdad, isn't it? I had a son-in-law over there year before last teaching the soldiers how to put the armor on the vehicles.
I think the football games are delayed on Hogwired and require a subscription.  Good luck to you and the Lord be with you.

[HamHands]

Yea, it is about 50-60 miles north of Bahgdad. I will be running a sick call for 90 days. I have it a lot easier than most, but it will not be fun.
I predict hot and sandy Happy 4th of July :razorback:

If anybody else has family over there, let me know and I will look for them. I will tell you, I am not going outside Camp Anaconda unless I am ordered.

YOu can watch jefferson pilot games (or could last year) free, links were always posted when the hogs played by Hogville folks here.  ESPN also has a some type of package that was around a hundred bucks last year from their website.  I am not sure what the package allows as I just browsed over it once.  I got the impression all espn (espn 2?) games were viewable and some might be archived.  I am not sure, however.  Be safe.

we will be praying for you man.

[iCalledThatHogBrotha!]

Best wishes man, and THANK YOU.

[HogHillbilly]

Keep your head down man............I just got back from there..............It's pretty limited what they allow you to do over the internet there................They moniter everything...........We got motored 3 to 4 times a day.............Even had some guys attack the main gate a few times......
Before to long, you will be able to sleep through the sirens.............You just got to bed wearing your body armor........It's damn hot this time of year too............In the sun, it usually runs in the 140's..........Food is great though..................If you need any more info, let me know, and I'll answer anything you got......................Stay Cool, and be careful...............

Hey man, I'm over here right now, and I've been in the middle east during football season twice.  I've usually always been able to watch a couple of Razorbacks games every year.  I'd almost assure you that any nationally televised game will be on AFN here.  If I had to bet, I'd say that the USC, Alabama and LSU games will surely be on.  After that, I'm not sure but there is always a lot of college football to be watched over here.  If you need any help with what you think you might need over here, let me know.

Best wishes to ya

[Porkerpower]

so how many in this thread right now are in or going to IRAQ?

[HamHands]

Hey Cubsfan5150, I will be there after going through Bliss for a week. What would I need to pack besides my laptop to play computer games?
What do you really wish you had? I will be running sick call from 0700 to 1500. I should have a lot of down time.

[HatfieldHog]

God bless ya, and keep up the good work!

See ya

If you were smart you would download an nintendo emulator of some sort and then download a bunch of games.  Make sure that you bring checks too.  They are having a problem with the TCN's at the BX/Shoppette stealing identities.  Just make sure that you bring a lot of PT/PC clothes.  You sweat a lot here and the next thing you know you are wearing dirty clothes because you haven't done your laundry yet.  If you read, bring a lot of books, although the library here isn't too bad.  The pillows and bedding suck, but you can make due with them.  Umm, other than that, just make sure that you don't burn your laptop power supply.  The power here is 220 instead of 110, but there are transformers everywhere and you can buy power strips at one of the BXes.  The pool is VERY nice, so bring some swimming trunks and if they didn't issue you sunglasses already, you'll want to bring those.  The pods are nice and have everything you need in them.  If you have any other questions just let me know.  See ya soon.  It'll be the kind of fun you've probably never seen before.

Are you a doc?  If so, are you part of the APMC? 

[HamHands]

Yep, I am a doc. I am with ARNG STARC(-) and will be over there with the 205th Med Sup BN from Illinois. I am actually a Gastroenterologist in Jonesboro, AR. If anybody wants to hook up and talk about hogball or home,just stop by sick call or look me up. donovan.stockdale@us.army.mil

Agreed, (hope you had a good vacation btw) I start getting grumpy and then I hear about one of these guys and their sacrifices.  Puts a lump of gratitude in my throat everytime.
