Bit of help required for a squaddie stuck in iraq

Post by Smiler.wales »

Im currently in Iraq and my brother wants to know of any websites which they can use to keep up on events happening over here does anyone know of any good sites that I can send to him.

Also as a huge fan of the chicago bears does anyone know the frequency of the US Armed forces radio as I want to try and catch the games over the radio if I can - unfortunatly internet access is limited so im hoping someone can help with this. I have yet to meet any yanks over here so I have been unable to ask them directly.

Cheers

Can't find a radio frequency for you yet but when you are on the net this is the link for the US Soldiers radio http://www.army.mil/srtv/SoldiersRadio/SRL.html

As for news for your brother and family, Yahoo news is always pretty good and updates all day long. http://news.yahoo.com/iraq/

I'll see if I can find a frequency for you.

There's the MoD news site... http://news.mod.uk/

The Army news site... http://www.army.mod.uk/news/

The Navy news site... http://www.royal-navy.mod.uk/static/pages/1.html

And the RAF news site... http://www.raf.mod.uk/news/news.html

They've all got a bit on Iraq but the MoD one has a section dedicated to it... http://news.mod.uk/news_headline_story. ... em_id=2323

Personally, I can't understand the damn game but it's your choice. As the constitution says; "you have the right to bear arms and the right to arm bears"

Chicago bears online seems the fit in with you needs.

http://www.sportcenters.net/audiozone.html

Here's the blurb....

Can't catch the game on TV? Well, here at Chi-Town Audio Zone you can tune into live broadcasts of your favorite Chicago sports team. Here at Audio-Zone we feature Live audio broadcasts of the Chicago Bears, Cubs baseball, Bulls, Blackhawks, Depaul Basketball, and the Fighting Illini Men and Womens Basketball Team. Let us take you to the action at Soldier Field, Wrigley Field, and the United Center, right from your own home. No need to fight the traffic to witness Sammy Sosa hitting yet another home run onto Waveland Avenue, or Marty Booker scoring another TD. Keep track of Tyson Chandlers progress every step of the way as the Chicago Bulls try to rebuild into a contending team.

Whatever that means!
