Camo's Combat! Canteen Home Email Me


Welcome to our reading corner. It’s not as noisy over here, so pull up a chair and check out these Combat articles. What was that, soldier? Most of these magazines are as old as the ones in your doctor’s office? Well, where do you think I got them? (Just kidding, Dr. H.) Here’s the collection of TV Guide articles as well as other interesting articles featuring Combat!

Just a note - not everything you read is true. (gasp!) Some magazines aren’t great sources of light and truth - but hey, at least they have pictures. Some of the articles you’ll find here are excellent (especially Donna’s and Diane’s interviews) - some aren’t. So please just keep this in mind as you enjoy the articles.


Important Note:
Sorry, soldier, but since we've relocated, we've had to make some changes to the Canteen. The articles are now set up in jpg form only (no printable Adobe files anymore) - which still makes online reading easy but printing more difficult. Now to print the articles, you'll need to adjust your printer properties to fit the article to the page or save the article and process it in another program. (I use Microsoft Picture It.)
