Yeah, all web sites that contain anything non-military related is blocked on the theatre network via local civilian system admins using Websense. Soldiers can go to either the local Help Desk (Where user accounts and phones are issued) or the TCF (On larger installations, look for satellite dishes) and request an IP be put on the safe list for their unit computer. They will require you to fill out a form that lists the web address as well as the reason it should be lifted.
I had many automotive websites lifted by saying I was pursuing degrees in Mechanical and Diesel Engineering. The SysAdmin is a civilian and he just needs a legit reason to lift the IP profile.
Hope this helps some guys get access to some niche websites. I know the MWR sucks, better to use the unit computers after hours.
