Is it possible for a milnet site to receive USENET/netnews?

How is this accomplished?

Milnet and other Internet sites can pick up net news over the net
via a protocol called NNTP.  As someone else suggested, due to your
proximity to BRL (and since they know who you are anyway) they are
the logical people to try.  There are other MILNET and ARPANET NNTP
nodes as well.
