Frank,
My favorite possession while I was stationed overseas was a Grundig 
short-wave radio.  I could only take so much of the Armed Forces TV and radio 
feeds.  I 
understand the new and modern armed forces have internet cafes and access to 
satellite telephones to make things a bit easier.  However, I wrote my mother 
and girlfriend many letters using old fashioned paper and pen (black ink not 
blue...) while listening to the BBC World Service.  Just a suggestion.  Wish 
him well for me.
