myself and a group of friends are on our second round of care packages we're sending out.  one person wanted to know about dvd's...  do most deployed soldiers and marines have access to tv's and dvd players right now?

i'll have to know by tonight or tomorrow morning.  i figured i'd ask here, because it usually takes they guys these are going to a little while to get back to me.


thanks!

What he said - portable DVD players are the porn-viewer of choice for the modern fighting man.  Still photos are so last century.

The small battery operated DVD players with the built in screens can be had for right around a hundred bucks.  A lot of people have them or laptops.  At worst the recipient can borrow one of the dozen or two that are owned by the people in his platoon.

Most of the portable DVD players will also show jpg and gif images, so don't delete your old porn collection just yet.

Between me and a few of my buddies, we bought probably 5 at the PX.  And a couple from the unit we replaced.

They stock them at all the PX's.

Pretty much all the guys that I work with have had either a laptop or a portable dvd player when they were deployed.  I know that I just watched my friends when he was working since we were on different shifts.
