[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1058312, member: 12570"] The holidays are the toughest for those stationed overseas, especially those in a hostile area. I spent the first Thanksgiving and Christmas of my marriage by myself in Sicily. There would be a meal in which we would all come together to support one another. It's amazing how something as trivial as the mail becomes so significant when you are stationed overseas. texan, do you remember Autovon? Autovon is the military phone network which allows you to call from base to base free of charge. The call would be placed at the base you are stationed it to the base closest to your home. The call would then be transferred to a local number, usually to a spouse or other family member, as if you were making a local call. We were allowed one 5 minute autovon call per month. [/QUOTE]
