Hello and welcome. I’m glad you found your way here to FM. Congrats on working through NaNo. I tend to write a lot of fantasy myself. It’s fun to see how far you can push things in your world.

Casper, communication might also depend on where the base is located. Afghanistan was lousy when it came internet communication. Most of the Iraq bases had much better communication via phone and internet.
My husband was military for years, plus he went to work with the military for three years in Afghanistan and Iraq. Communication was much better in Iraq than Afghanistan. In Iraq he was at three bases, and each one had different time alotted for communicating back to the US. On almost every base he was stationed at all communication went down when solidiers died from the base so this way no one would leak information as to who died until the family was notified. Usually within 24-36 hours.
Now, something else I wanted to touch on, us wives used to talk about about how tight lipped our husbands were when they lost someone close to them while on deployment. Granted it depends on the person. When my husband was deployed, he didn’t exactly share a lot with me via phone or internet. He wanted to know more about what I was doing and hear about our children. It felt like we were his lifeline to a normal life.
I would also imagine it depends on the mission as well. My husband still can’t and won’t talk abut things from the 90’s for security reasons.
Good luck with the writing.

My husband has read all the books and watched all of HBO’s series and he’s love both. The author is helping to adapt the series so I guess he has changed some things around to make it entertaining for a television series.
