When I return from deployments and get to watch TV again I find the new commercials kinda fun. Do you watch TV for the commercialsblike on Superbowl Sunday when you return?

Honestly I don't. I spent more time playing catch up to search where my wife put my belongings at. I did watch some TV but the kids called for my attention for most.

No, I use commercials to get a quick snack, or use the bathroom.

When I returned from deployments, there were a few things that I did...almost none of them included TV (unless it was a movie and snuggling with the family which has no commercials). Out to eat for real food, grilling my own food, catching up on family time, and as mentioned by others....wonder the house at all hours of the day and night looking for stuff that was "mis-placed", put away in the wrong location, or was thrown away due to house cleaning while gone (hated that one!). Of course, everyone else in the house knew exactly where "it" was.....so therefore, i must have been wrong... ;-)

I know that after watching countless AFN commercials in overseas locales (last place was Kwajalein) watching a regular commercial back in the States cleanses the palate.

What's your favorite AFN commercial? | RallyPoint

Anyone who currently is or was stationed overseas knows about the "famous" AFN (previously AFRTS) commercials that were constantly reminding (Read: bombarding) us to use OPSEC, how to marry a foreign national, the difference between a general and a special Power of Attorney, etc...What was your favorite AFN commercial?  What was your worst AFN commercial? Note: They can also be a little bit of both, like this...
