I've been watching this develop. Horrible that this happened and my thoughts are with everyone involved.

I believe Tasman is stationed there. Hopefully he's ok... ???

 

[MoeCizlak]

How horrible. Prayer sent to the families of the victims.

Lost for words, prayers for the families.

Do we have any members at Ft. Hood? Greg mentioned Tasman.

 

[souldog]

Yeah, Lurch. His grandpa says he's code 4 though...

Nevermind, it's Pug's son, Lurch's dad...

 

[lurch]

Yeah, Lurch. His grandpa says he's code 4 though...

I think you mean my DAD.... Pugman is my grandfather.... Hence the term "Gramps"....





Nice correction....

 

[souldog]

I talked to Dean about five minutes ago. He and his guys are alright.

That is great news, glad to hear he and his guys are ok. I figured he wasn't in danger since the incident happened when soldiers were in an area waiting to get their papers for deployment. Also good to hear that Lurch's dad was not harmed either.

Pretty messed up that soldiers getting ready to go serve their country were fired upon by one of their own. Hopefully they get to the bottom of this and make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again.

First of all prayers go out to the family's and friends of everyone and special thanks to all the people that donated blood are helped in any way!

What a crazy night and I am also surprised that more situations like this have not happened. Thank god!

I am sure you have read the paper or watched the news and I will say everybody has their version of the story. The entire post was locked down from about 1:30pm until 7pm.
I am pretty sure the soldiers that were there were getting ready to deploy in about 2 months.

Thanks for the phone calls and text messages!

Dean...I was sickened when I was hearing all the crap going on at Hood and could not stop praying that you and yours were safe.

I'm truly sorry for those families who lost their loved ones and for those injured in this senseless incident.

God speed and be safe...

Was on post yesterday until all the traffic cleared out got home around 2200. Did not expect it to be someone in uniform.

Now something going on in Orlando WTH!

Sounds like a disgruntled ex employee or someone whose wife is messing around on him. Either way these idiots have to start growing up, why take it out on innocent people?
