Actually, he just responded to my text message.. and he's okay. Everyone's on lockdown..

I am glad he is ok, remind him not to get into trouble for breaking protocol from using his cell phone while there is a base-wide lock-down

Not picking an argument with you P.P.
I don't get this "perhaps not totally out of the blue" statement.
Care to explain OR is it best for you NOT to go there?
As an active member on the most deployed base in Army's history, Fort Hood is second behind us, I been sitting and listening and watching how the media
is reporting the story like if they know exactly what is going on and sounding so professional, which is ALL bullshit. They have NO clue whats going on in Fort Hood, and I been hearing from when the story broke how they had no info at first, to having retired generals who used to command the post comment while they are fishing and turning almost every word he said into far-fetched sound bites, and watching them scramble to get recently redployed soldiers to speak to bolster the story like they are standing RIGHT in Texas.
2 hours later, I watched CNN twist the damded story 3X and STILL haven't gotten it right.
AND...
The Army hasn't made an official statement on it yet, so DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR.
