Is this a connectivity issue?  If so, ...

I seem to remember reading somewhere in the news that the US Military
has cut off connectivity with all commercial sites/networks for members
deployed or overseas.  While I did not have email and such when *I* was
deployed 13-15 years ago, it may be that "fleet.navy.mil" is considered
part of that portion of the MILnet that was cutoff.
