I just talked to my husband and forgot to ask him. He's currently in Iraq. I know they have news b/c he specifically mentioned seeing the hurricane coverage (we're from LA, so lots of interest in that). And my husband did mention that the TV's were set up in the DFAC. (dining facility/mess hall)
I know there is a community room where they watch movies, but they don't have cable to watch the latest shows.
I'll have to try and remember to ask him b/c now I'm curious.
