#8  Jaded....? That might be offensive to Asians Pan. I'll have to consult the Burg IG/EEO and get back to you.... unless you hear from them/her first.

#5  Oh, crap - this is local to me and will appear on the evening news ad nauseum to the exclusion of actual news. :-(

Guess I'll mute the sound until the weather comes on.

#4  "Active shooters" nearly every evening on the South sides of Chicago and Atlanta. Strange how the MSM and federal authorities seem to pay them no mind.

#3  Ft Lee is a cesspool. I was there for six months and could not wait to get the hell out of there. There is zero discipline, They told us this when we got there and told us to just let it go and do not get involved. I could hardly believe it and would certainly not let it go. I told an NCO, E7, to remove his cover in a checkout line at a store. I was in uniform. He told me to F^&^ off. Then he proceeded to threaten to kick my ass. I ended up visiting with the provost marshal, a friend, and told him about it. He was arrested and charged. But this post is all about being in the hood.

#2  All Clear

A female soldier shot herself and the base went on lockdown.

#1  That would be a 'gun free' zone (other than the military police).
