Right now I have 15 MBPS download from Time Warner Cable, but I still think they suck. Google Fiber is going online in Austin, 1 GB/s download speeds, and when they get to my neighborhood, I'm gonna drop Time Warner like a used condom.

When I was in Kuwait, my internet was so shitty, when it got up to 30kb/s i was excited...

And in Iraq it was even worse.
Funny story about that: When i was there they would send small groups out from time to time to other bases and FOBs(forward operating base), and one of the ones I got sent to was small as hell(could walk from one side to the other in about 5-7 minutes). There was a small plaza with Iraqi owned shops, and the only internet you could get was from one of those.

This was his setup: a long ass ethernet cable going from his shop to the roof and up a pole, and at the top of the pole was a router zip tied to the pole and in a zip lock bag to protect it from the rain and sand. It was a very shitty connection, couldn't even cam with the gf(now my wife), but the worst part was that once or twice a week the internet would go out and the router needed to be reset ,the only problem was that it always happened in the evening, and the guy closed the shop and went home at 5, so we couldnt use the internet till the next day when he got it lol. Fucking sucked ass.

At least you had internet, I had a sat link that allowed us to relay back images and messages (and only images and messages) back to rear Commodes. We went back to the FOB every two months or so for a day (rest of the time we were at an outpost that had radios and that's it) usually just to restock on cigarettes and tell loved ones we were still pressing on.

Iraq most of the outposts had some limited internet so I could usually send some emails home at least once a week, Afghanistan was like stepping into the fucking stone age, we didn't even have power for a few months.

Hey I didn't want the navy initially either - I wanted Tac-P or Combat Control in the air force; I settled with "what job isn't on a ship?" Thus I found the electrician gig... Never went on a ship - but the beauty of being in construction on deployment is comfortable living, and you have the material to build whatever you want.

Some guys built poker tables (and i'd still keep one of those tables we had on deployment over anything you could order online - that nice, smooth, and well designed.)

The best though is the barter exchange - whether it was individual or as a unit, we always get hooked up with awesome stuff... Hard to put price on a good Steak thats flown in from the US while in Afghan :D
