I'm in Iraq also, I'm a medic, maybe with your ex. Actually I do medic support for supply convoys every 1-3 days. I work radiowatch, details in the heat(130 sometimes), and whatever I'm told to do. But mostly I miss my wife and 4 kids. The internet is my main form of entertainment/communication. We have no movie theater, no cable tv. The internet that I'm paying more for. in Iraq costs more than the Comcast I'm payng for my family. and is slower than dial-up cable, I remember those days.
My bedroom has 199 other guys in it, so sitting on my bunk for a few hours is not hard to do.
Hope this helps a little. And some people have more time on their hands than others. |

they don't fight 24hrs a day. maybe that's the only way he can relax. give him a break, he's over there doing something alot of people would never do.... |

Hey, we are all human, and so is he... he's in a place that at any moment his privacy, a/c, freedom may be at risk.... and if he does get a chance to change his profile, pic, add, etc.... then thats great....it will be sad when youre able to log on and see where he hasnt signed in a 2-3 days, then you will worry!! DROP HIM A LINE and say Hi sometime, comment his page.... be his friend and support him..... He's worth it!! Good Luck! |

you are so right. it IS none of your business. if you're still interested in what this guy is doing, then you should be thanking god that he has time to be on myspace everyday instead of being shot at and dying like other people.
OR he might not be in Iraq
OR his profile might be hacked
but again, none of this is any of your business. |

Why are you stalking his myspace page? They are allowed contact with the outside world you know...it sounds to me like you are just jealous he is adding new chicks to his page..leave the poor guy alone!! |

Perhaps they have computers over there. Thank your ex for his service to our country. |

they are allowed some freetime.. and that freetime is very comforting to those of us have stood by our men no matter where they are.. if you are so curious about what he's doing you should have tiher a) been strong enough to stick with him or b) leave him alone b/c he obviously cut you out of his life for a reason. |

They do have some internet access although, I am not there and cannot say exactly how much or often they do.
Mel_rose777 thoughtful answer... you thoughtful person |

They have a job....and if they are not in face to face combat or on missions....they work in shifts. That is probably how he is able to check his myspace daily.
Do you still feel for him, is that why you can't resist checking his account? Broken up or not, just be glad when you see that he has checked it....that means he is still alive!!! |

If he's your ex why should it bother you what he does? |

STOP CHECKING AND YOU WILL NOT BE BOTHERED |

If he's your ex why do you care. why not just ask him your obviously keeping tabs. |

you know ive never been in a war but i crabbed in alaska for 4 months and in that time i was desparate for a connection to home. I knew what it was like and for that reason i sent myspace messages everyday to one of the USAF guys i met on myspace(i wanted him to have something to read from the states every single time he logged in). there are some who have daily access to computers and internet but that may be the only thing making it anywheres near bearable.
i think its fantastic for anyone who can login to myspace or any other connection to us here. you liked him once so he must be an ok guy so be glad it might save his sanity |

My son is also serving with the Army's 1st Cav in Baghdad and has his own notebook. When not on patrol, he uses his computer quite often - email, myspace, etc., and is even the commissioner of our fantasy football league. |

Do you know for sure that he is in Iraq? |

Theres always downtime once in awhile for soldiers. They get computer time to talk to family sometimes and he may just decide to use it for myspace. Maybe its good for him. They need something to do with downtime if myspace is how he gets it then good for him |

lmao....let me tell you what he's doing...the same thing all the ones that aren't doing "daily" front line missions are doing. Flirting, camming...and hooking up with all the lovely "ladies"....(I use that term loosely, VERY, loosely) don't anyone by the line ...they are "too busy"...because unless they are door kickers .....or on missions....they aren't |

There's not a lot of downtime in the combat zone, and when they do have downtime, computers/internet are popular because it's a way of keeping sane, connecting with home/outside world, etc.
Outside of the job there's not much to do over in Iraq, so the internet is a pretty popular commodity for the troops in Iraq. |

Leave him alone, just be hopeful he comes home in one piece. |

Depends on what his MOS is. maybe he is a paper pusher, they get loads of time on the net. And whilst my husband was a stryker driver he was able to (off on and of course) hit the computer once every couple of days sometimes a few days in a row if they weren't on missions. |

this isn't a WWII style war. This is URBAN warfare. They're out on patrols more then storming beach heads and being shot at day and night. This isn't like Vietnam. A LOT of them have downtime during the day because of the heat there. In Iraq they have something like a siesta like mexico because of the heat. From like 10 am to about 4pm everything shuts down. In those hours does it make any sense to be out and around?
Other then that, he's your EX. |

There is internet access over there. It is possible his guard shift is just right so he can be relieved give his brief to his replacement and head straight to the MWR every night, and post. |

My husband was in Iraq last year and as many have mentioned they do get internet acces on most bases and on some they can get it in their "hooch"
(the boxes they share and call home) I was so greatful that every evening that my husband was on base we could talk we have 3 boys and they could even see there dad on Yahoo messanger because my family bought him a lap top with a cammera built in. So leave him alone thank GOd he is a live and does have a way of staying connected. When my husband deployed the first time we didn't even have internet or cell phone contact thank GOD things have changed |

He has to be lying, they banned Myspace and YouTube to be accessed from government systems... He has no way to log on to those sites while over there..

My best friend's husband was in Iraq and he spent a lot of his days playing video games.
He did work hard, but he also had a LOT of free time. |
