No you can not post this information. Figures it would come from a weekend warrior.

While this is not a blog this is still with in the same medium as a blog as it is a public forum:

GO $@%& YOURSELF. I'd like to see you do something for this country, smartass.

cavpfcdd, well said.

Best of luck, Brad! I hope for the safety of you and your comrades.

It's pointless to discuss this with anyone here. I think that there is a disconnect in the communication. I have never and will never wish the this guy anything other than a safe trip and a speedy homecoming.

I find it kind of strange that the majority think I am putting this guy on trial. It's his own comments that are the reason for the continuation of this thread. It's as if you all read his first post and then nothing else he has stated.






Really? I mean really? I got to page two of this and wanted to throw my computer out the window.

For christs sake, he's headed to the sand box and you want to start with the flaming? Shame on you. Guard or not, I would give my respect to the Boy Scouts if they packed up and shipped out. It's not about the branch, it's about the team.

That being said Ciaphas, lets hear your story hero. That is, if OPSEC allows you. I know it hasn't had an effect on my time deployed.

Give me a break.

Oh, best of luck Brad <S> Get home safe. Sorry some fool has to rain on the parade.

First of all Brad, <S> and be safe brother. Done three trips to Iraq myself both as active duty Air Force, and as a civilian with the USMC.

Ciaphas,

Were you in the Air Force? I'm just asking because in the AF they crammed OPSEC down our throats all the time, but I've found working with the Marines for the last 3 years that they really don't teach them much about OPSEC. It was a real culture shock the first time I was deployed to Iraq with the Marines and I saw the stuff they were putting on their myspace pages. The military has been trying to crack down on this stuff lately. There was a proposed rule sometime last year that said all service members had to have their blog entries screened by public affairs before they could be posted... I don't think that one ever stuck.

Either way, I'm not going to jump into the argument here, it's just that whenever I hear someone get highly upset about potential OPSEC violations, I immediately think Air Force! Not saying it's wrong, I just find it amusing.

I just hope everyone can look past the methods and see that this was started in good faith with nothing but good intentions but as with everythign I do it turned south and hit the ground like my toon ride often does.

It turned south for me when you tried taking a pound of flesh and notified his unit, "whom I hope all realize you are bonkers". I was active service myself and tho we might make jokes about other services, or the reserves, we wouldnt do it in open forum.

Where I come from you dont hurt a mans family by trying to hurt him at work over something trivial.

I'm done with this. Thank God we have the National Guard.
