I don't get AFN anymore...are they STILL running the ones about Jane? Those were my favorites!! "Jane didn't wear her helmet...now she's dead." "Jane didn't wear her protective gear...now she's dead."

You'd be surprised. AFN does carry more current stuff than the Korean networks sometimes--and it's in English. Seoul and south, the military have the option of a "with dependents" tour so there are quite a few kids at the bases in Yongsan, Daegu, etc.

I also liked/hated the "Practice good OPSEC" (I think that was the acryonym!). I found a lot of the good ones (sadly, not Jane!) on Youtube. I just typed in AFN PSA.

Yeah, I was belly-up to the bar in Itaewon a year or so ago, started talking to some GI. He started some anecdote about something that happened to him on-base, and I said,"Whoa, dude, don't go violatin' OPSEC. I'm just an English teacher."

After he was done laughing, he said, "God, I hate those AFN commercials, too."
