Just got a flash on the 'puter that NorthCom has upped the threat condition to FPCON Bravo. Not sure what triggered it, but it's the first elevation in some time. Watch the news and maintain your SA, folks.

Colonel, USAFR

Those advanced CONUSes are a bear to move. I’d go the Fleet route. Sorry bout your situation.

Thanks, Col. Appreciate the posting and any updates. Amazing how these things pass unnoticed by the press.

May mean fewer golf games for the Won?

I hope not. He's safer when he's on the links at Andrews and not in the Oval Office. And the rest of us are a whole lot safer when he's not in the Oval Office.

That’s what I would guess. Quackducky has got some friends in the US that are not happy with The Won.

I suspect this is directed against potential domestic terrorists who oppose the enshrinement of homosexuality as a protected lifestyle in the military.

Thank you for the heads up. Does this, you think, have anything to do with Libya supposedly declaring war on Libya?

I can confirm this is true. My wife went to work this morning at the Air Force Academy and was informed as she entered the base of Bravo. Was asked to “cooperate if necessary” and told to go straight to her work area....

She also stated that security forces person told her they no information on the reason for the increase.

This thread needs to be taken down.

Could potentially violate OPSEC.

Loose lips sink ships people.

Use come common (censored) sense.

ditto.

It may not be classified, but I bet a cold beer it’s “FOUO” - For Official Use Only”

A JAG with a “look at me” moment is probably not FOUO.

I read your thread this morning, and it was the first thing I thought of when the OBL announcement was made.

Now we know.

It will be interesting when news helps correlate a true timeline of events from the ground in Pakistan, then compares them to Obama’s claim tonight that he just ordered “today’s” hit on Friday.

my husband was watching the news here in the Philippines and he warned me to be careful when I go out to shop.

There are a lot of retired military living here, and the Philippines has been waging a long war against Alqaeda funded and trained terrorists...most of it is in the south, but there is a worry that some folks who “converted” to Islam in Saudi and came back are sleeper cells waiting to bomb places...

I searched for this thread as soon as I heard the UBL news, but it was taken down for security reasons. Thank you sir for the heads up.
