My husband is on his way there now. He is an IRR soldier with 115 FA replacing the Hawaii unit. I’ve been sickly worried about his deployment. This will be our first deployment and I’m also 5.5 mths pregnant. I miss him like hell already!! After checking this site out and hearing what u guys have to say, it has honestly calmed some of my nerves. Thank u!!!! May God bless all of our troops and bring you guys back to your loved ones safely and soon!!!

My son will be deploying to Camp Virginia next week from Ft Hood as a medic. I will pray for him and all of our military personnel stationed off American soil. God Bless you all and keep you safe and bring you home soon. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the bravery you show and sacrifices you give every second of every day so that we may be safe here at home. Come home soon and should you meet Sgt Robert Clark, keep him safe for his family because he’s a remarkable medic who will work hard to keep all of you safe, too.
GOD BLESS! Linda Waldrep

Hey everyone. I’m stationed at Camp Virginia now, right now as a matter of fact I’m on CQ duty. I don’t know what some of you are talking about but Camp Virginia SUCKS! It’s not the people it’s the place. I’d rather be back in Iraq than here. To those with questions that want honest answers you can hit me up at hustzler@yahoo.com
And yes vonage does work over here so bring your vonage cause the calling cards, though they offer alot of minutes, vonage offers unlimited calls to stateside from your trailer or tent. They just built a Starbucks over here in December, if you like that kind of thing. Personally I would have rather they built some barracks with indoor plumbing. Ali, which is 7 to 10 minutes away has indoor plumbing! But thats it. The USO is great & the MWR tries their best so no complaints there. Virginia just sucks as a place to live compared to any other camp. Especially the Hilton, aka Arifjan. And to the best of my knowledge Virginia isn’t closing Ali Al Salem is and their sending everyone from there to Buehring! INternet is ok, at best, it normally goes down in the morning and isn’t wireless if you’re inside a trailer. You have to be standing or sitting outside otherwise you have to use an ethernet lan cable. I know, it confused me too. Costs $28 a month or $1 for an hour card or you can pay the $5 a hour in the cyber zone if you don’t have a computer. I think the best description of Cmp Virginia is the blog post at the top that we all are commenting on. No doubt I think its safe over here but the boredom & piss-tivity that one will feel being stationed over here for more than a few days is enough to make you wish you were anywhere else but at Camp Virginia.

I am a civilian contractor working security at Camp Virginia. I have been here 5 months now and will be until at least Sept. I want to share with all of you the greatest piece of advice to keep i touch with your family: Buy a Magic Jack. You can find them at MagicJack.com. As long as you get broadband service you can plug the component into your cpu USB port, plug a regular phone into it and call your wife/husband, kids, friends, etc. stateside for only $20 a year. It will cost $40 total to buy the jack for the first year. No hidden costs at all. You will love it and so will your friends and family. They can call you to. You get a stateside number and voice mail too. No, I don’t sell them or work for MJ I just know how important communication is with the real world and I want to help out in any way that I can. That’s why I’m here.

Would like more info on the internet for the barracks. I am also deploying with the 115th FA. If anyone knows the current owner, what speed, and the network set up that would be great. Also, I would like to talk to someone currently there, (those folks we are replacing) to figure out the set up you guys have. Thanks
