Military About to Go on "CODE RED" (VANITY)

[TigerClaws]

Friend in the military says they are about to go on "CODE RED."

He's in the reserves. About to be called up. Anyone else hearing this?

Ebola?

[wally_bert]

Purple Alert? Not as bad as a red alert but a bit worse than a blue alert. Maybe more of a mauve alert - Holly of Red Dwarf.

The modern military is moving towards a fabulous “rainbow” code.

Not really funny, but I just have to

[arasina]

Scarmable? Is that supposed to say SCRAMBLE or is it some sort of obscure joke?

[AppyPappy]

Isn’t that a soft drink? Why would they go on a soft drink?

[AppyPappy]

I’ll be in the shower. You take over the war room.

And no fighting.

SCARMABLE

[AppyPappy]

Our local Navy base has just been put on “Simply Fabulous” alert.

Just out of curiousity, what is your friend’s specialty and what kind of unit does he serve in?

[X-spurt]

PAINT has no spell-check.

[Jean2]

Now I am confused. What is the military supposed to do about Ebola? Isn’t that a problem for trained medical personnel?

[Resolute Conservative]

Rainbow. Did you miss the memo?

[Constitution Day]

Yes, an obscure joke from an old thread here on FR.

SCARMABLE! COLRADO PEACE INBOUND ON CAPITOL!

Little Rock Air Force Base here is still at Threatcon/Forcecon Alpha-lowest threat level.

But your "red alert" thread is about to be upgraded to:

Climate change! It’s a fate worse than Islam and Putin and Hitler and Stalin and Mussolini and Robert E. Lee and Santa Anna and Ebola put together!

That's it! barry is mobilizing the military to save the penguins.........................in the Galapagos. Bad barry, bad.

Sounds like soldiers talk to me. Been in 27 years and never referred to it as “code red.” Now if he said they’d been given a PTDO...then maybe. Code red? Sounds like something an E-1 or Hollywood actor would say. I sure haven’t heard anything about it...and chances are high I would have.

[Yo-Yo]

Scarmable?

I’ll be in the shower. You take over the war room.

Don't be long!

Please stop the confirming or denying. It's all intel for the bad guys.

People who wish us harm can read this thread and put 2 and 2 together.

So far they know that today, nothing has yet happened to cause a change in alert status.

While some might think it not that important, it is a small piece to a bigger puzzle.

Once again, don't ask these types of questions and for those in the military, you should all know better than to respond one way or the other.

The jokes however, are always appreciated.

In my 32 years of military service, I am familiar with the term “DEFCON”(Defense Condition) 1 - 4. Not “Code Red”, must be something new from “Obamaspeak”. Just my opinion...
