       So we are 15 days away from an awesome convention. I have confirmed 25 of our annual guest from the 501st and various other professional Costuming people. We have Sci Fi Writers, vendors, music and comedy shows. We have built a Full size Stargate, Tardis, Borg Alcove, and Deathstar(not full size). We have Laser tag to help support the CFC and much much more. And to top this intergalactic party its FREE to enter. I hope to see everyone there at Club Eifel 3 Nov @ 0800 for the Zombie Run and 1000 for the Grand opening. http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/402866159765386/

      Is AFN Democrat driven? All I ever see is hours of MSNBC and NBC and channels that are Democrat support. Then I see maybe 30 min of Fox News which supports Republican. I am asking for an increase of time for the Fox News report during the noon time frame in Afghanistan. Thank you for any consideration.

  14. Sgt. 1st Class Paul Howard’s three-bedroom apartment was the last of 2,000 units emptied Monday on the 65-year-old Army installation. Back in the 1980s, before the end of the Cold War and a series of drawdowns steadily diminished the U.S. military presence in Germany, some 8,000 soldiers and family members lived there.
  15. So, now that we've had three weeks of NFL games with replacement refs, what are your thoughts?
  16. Update: The power has been restored to AFN Europe headquarters and radio & TV are coming back online. Due to electrical work that must still be completed, service may be briefly interrupted in the next 24-72 hours. The issue today is unrelated to the glitch Saturday that requires decoder resets to restore AFN television service. If you are still experiencing issues with your television service, please visit www.afneurope.net for information on how to restore your service. We sincerely apologize for the unexpected and unscheduled service disruptions over the past three days.
