If Captain Pierce gave LT Owens his FR password, then it is LT Owens that started this thread. Please note the way FREEPers are written by both, a little odd that they should write it exactly the same way.
My Prayers for our Military

My fellow FREEPers,
I know it's been a while. Well i forgot to duck. By the time most of you see this I will be on my way to Germany for treatment. The war for me is done. My men continue to do the job. This last rash of bombings and attacks are being under reported and I don't know why. Al Queada is getting desparate. I don't know when I'm will RTS. But I do imagine that it will be soon. God I love wireless. LOL! Please keep praying for us.
Socomofficer

Here is an e-mail that I received last night from Captain Mike [US Army, Special Forces] -- who is reporting in, from the front lines in IRAQ:
Well, it's early morning here and we are headed east. We have taken some light casualties but for the most part we are combat effective. The young boy was waiting at the airport when we got back and took myself and my senior staff to his folks house for dinner.
I am seeing signs of a stabilizing electric grid and consumer goods are starting to come in. Of course I am certain that none of this is reaching you folks. The tangos are getting desperate and are running scared.
We are still subject to daily shellings from mortars and RPGs. However, organized attacks against American troops are down but they continue to kill the locals in large numbers and are targeting foreign reporters.
I hope you and yours are healthy and doing well.
Please forward this to the FREEPers.
Sincerely,
Socomofficer
But most military guys like acronyms, like RPG, RTS (as above)...
...and LT Owens probably knows a little about this forum (and our abbreviations) as Captain Mike......so it is equally likely that LT Owens just used the same FREEPer acronym that he read from Capt. Mike's previous message, which was presumably forwarded to him.
Either way, we will know more soon.Captain Mile will have LOTS of free time soon -- as soon as he recovers from the worst of his injuries, God willing.
