Yes, they do. Even in Iraq, but sometimes you can't always get to the comp. b/c of various commitments.

Yes--if not in initial training or placed on some sort of restriction, nearly all active duty military members around the world have some kind of Internet access. Access may be brief and limited for those serving "in theater" (overseas in hostile areas) but even then periodic connectivity is the norm.

Yes most people in the military have access to the internet. They even have access to the internet in Iraq.

Nope, all that technology, including bombs with "eyes" but no internet.
Yes they have access to the internet. If they're home (as in not at war) they can get internet connections just like anyone else. If they're in a combat zone, there are computer centers set up, but the connections are slow and the lines are long.

I used to be in for 6 yrs, and yes, they do have access to the internet. It's a part of the MWR (morale welfare recreation) program. They try to provide the military members places where they can go and use the internet, watch movies, get tickets for events/trips to keep their hopes up while they're serving. And if they've got their own personal computer, they can use them during their personal time. Even on the boat, we had access to the internet. Once you get in the military, you get up, go to work and when you get off work, unless you've got watch, your time is your time. It's not some inhumane institution.

Sure do. If you're deployed, your time may be limited due to availability or your job for instance but you do have access of some sort.
When you aren't deployed though, it's not much different than any other job. You have internet, cell phones, etc.

yes. hubby's good friend who's a Marine wrote him a letter just a month ago from Iraq and told him to email him next time, letters take too long. LOL

Yes, depending where they're at. I'm in Baghdad right now. Some camps are even offering wireless internet.
