Sure why not.

By the way for now I will just call my son by Gabe275. I never know how much I can say so I say nothing.
I have a question on that topic, I am smart enough and know enough about the millitary that I pretty much know where my son is going when he leaves because I keep up on the breifings.
However I don't say anything because I don't want the wrong people to hear it, but evey time something happens some podunk reporter gives very specific info on where they are. Whats up with that ? doesn't it bother anyone ? aren't there some rules ?
On their last deployment the Tacoma Times and the Seattle Post even gave the name of the base they were at and the town it was near. Kinda ticked me off. I believe these kids are part of a much larger millitary family and that those that care have a right to know about those who serve for them, but I think to much is being given out.
And let me thank you all for what you have given for this country. I know the sacrifice. The time away from home, the family events that are missed, and the loss of youth. I also know that most of us wouldn't have missed it for anything. "Sua Sponte" of their on accord says it all.

Thanks Rangers

In my oppion, nobody but wives should be brifed on deployments. No offence, but parents have been known to leak information to the media.

I agree with you I was talking about the Pentagon breifings, and my own ability to figure things out. I know the mission standards and abilities of different groups and how they might be deployed. I don't want to know more then that. You know dad's worry too !

[Steadfast]

Ya! We know.

When members of this site even mention that so and so may be deployed, whether it is a guess or a fact, it is removed.

We don't discuss it at all. Some members have been banned for speculating. Bottom line, Ranger's lives are more important to us than knowing where they are at.

I know you worry about your son, but it is part of being a Ranger parent. Sorry.

Welcome to the site, Thank your son for me for putting his life on the line for the rest of us here in the states.

I don't get the hahaha did I miss a joke ? or is it funny that I am the father of a Ranger and not one myself ?

[Bell]

What's funny is I'm probably as old as you are. Dad.

Thanks but I think I probably have a few years on you. Your service dates are in the 80's and I had been out for a few years by then. Hell I even have five grandchildren including one by my son.
