Fort Gordon, GA
« on: April 23, 2015, 06:53:42 AM »
Can anyone shed any light on the emergency that took place there yesterday?  Saw a couple of "breaking" reports but no follow up on what the issue had been.

Guessing that it was much to do about nothing since there wasn't any non-stop reporting on it.

It was tragic.  Someone gave a butter bar a map and a compass.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I had seen some breaking news reports as well but they reported the Warrior Transition Battalion at Benning, not Gordon.  Have not seen any follow up reports either.

HEY!  When I was a butter bar, I knew what to do with a map and compass.  Land Nav was lots of fun, since I am an Eagle Scout with Orienteering Merit Badge. I know... cheating.   =D

I'm close to Augusta and am pretty in touch there. Heard nothing about anything at Fort Gordon.

A search about Fort Benning brings this up. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/04/22/emergency-situation-at-fort-benning-georgia-officials-say/

How does something like that remain "close to resolution" long enough for the news to report that as that as the current status?

 :facepalm:

syay safe.
