When I originally wrote my comments it was because people were telling what was going on at their local military installations and/or information they had from friends or family about deployments not in the news.

Do not see anything wrong with reporting information that has been released by DoD or local bases -- that is information because of the release is already in the public domain.

Let me give an example. I live about 15 minutes from Tinker AFB where planes are overhauled but we also are home to AWACS and the Navy E-6's which is public information. If I come on here and post that there is excessive air traffic over my home by the AWACS taking off one after the other, then I am giving out information that has not been released. Now if the local Tinker AFB Information Officers release that AWACS reserves or active duty are being deployed then I would feel free to post that information.

Hope that clears up what started all of this back before we entered Afghanistan.

Couldn'nt agree with you more. Thanks PBM.

Also, go Oklahoma. I just finished a stint in McAlester a while back. Know how much you all love your football teams.

BTW, I'm also in OSU land and would like our defense to repeat what your defense did to Miami 2 years ago.
