Yes they do - I don't know if they can check their mail or just send it but we sent my bf's cousin a letter and he replied by email so I know that he can send you emails - at least his cousin could.
I am not sure about the ims or messenger, etc- find out when you talk to him though

Yes, they have access to the internet. Some have more access than others, but they do get access. I have a coworker who's son is in Iraq and is able to send emails (with picture attachments) about three times a week. I have another friend who has a son in Iraq that sends about 2 a month. I don't know if it's because he has less access to the internet...or just isn't that interested in using it.

Hi I am a military wife and yes they do have Internet connection and as soon as he gets there they will give them an address an everything else, however there is a spouses community called the FRG (Family Readiness Group) that helps spouses/girlfriends/fiances/family with the deployment and they should keep you updated, also there is a website that has been designed to keep the families updated through the net which is a virtual frg, you will have to contact your boyfriend's Commander to get this information.

My son was there. He took a coputer with him and yes he had internet, But it was so busy at times that he could not get on. Also they had to get different carriers so he might go a couple of weeks without the net.
Sorry, didn't read all of question--don't know about the other things.

The internet is all over Iraq. The military even has internet cafes set up for use.

Yes they do, they have access to yahoo, aim, msn, and pretty much every other company for messaging. My husband got back a few months ago and he had access to it all, his brother is over there now and I talk to him on yahoo too.
