Airman calls home to warn parents. Prepare yourselves, they are coming!

No, they have said enough as it is.

I'm not saying it's BS, but if the airman knew something, wouldn't he/she elaborate more? Sounds like he/she is keeping mom guessing. If a member of my family knew something, I doubt if he or she would keep it a secret from us.

My ex worked for the government and called and told us not to go to NYC during a certain week. I can't remember when it was, but it was after 9/11. Nothing ever happened that I know of.

Op please ( i believe what you are saying) put forth the effort to say the vicinity of "duty station" there are alot of people out there who's lives depend on others putting the info out to help. I realise your situation with reference to not wanting to get anyone in trouble, you would not be doing that, for every duty station there is more than one person at it. So please OP be more descriptive please on place and thing... please

and then there's the special no fly zones enacted for Sept 10 and 11 for "special security" . One of which is Corpus Christie.

When real people are dealing with information that can cause the deaths of real people if it’s disclosed. When they truly understand the gravity of the situation and accept the responsibility. Then yes, you will keep it a secret from your own family.

As evidence of this thread, even close family members will leak, when they are told not to at the risk of tragedy to everyone.

The only time you would say anything to a person is when YOU know that the person also understands the responsibility that you bestow on them with the information, and the gravity of it’s responsibility. And you have to know they have the willpower to uphold that duty to keep that information secure. For you put your life, and the life of everyone around you in their hands, when you do.

In my countless family members, and friends, there is only one person that is still alive that I would trust with such information. He use to work in a nuclear weapons unit. The government gave him that trust. He still won’t tell me what he did all those years ago. Stuff that has happened over 50 years ago. He will take those secrets to his grave.

That is a person whose devotion I will not question. And he is the only one I know that I would trust such a secret to. For I know, no mater what happens, he will take it to his grave if the situation requires it.




No, they have said enough as it is.

I'm not a fear monger or a doomtard by any means, just thought I would put this out there just incase.

This afternoon I received a call from a dear friend who has a child in the AF. She sounded a little strange and when I asked her if she was okay, she said, "I'm not sure what to make of the phone call I just got from *****, maybe you can shed some light on this since you were in the military. She proceeds to say:

The past few weeks **** has been doing a lot of partying and posting pictures of drinking etc. As a parent you don't want to see your child making bad decisions, so we have had some words about it. Our conversations have been tense and very brief lately.Today she calls me and I can sense she has something to say and I finally ask what is going on? Do you need to tell me something?

Her child then starts crying and apologizes for past behavior etc....

Child: Mom, we had a debriefing this morning. I need for you and dad to prepare yourselves and the rest of our family. Something is going on, Something is going to happen.

Mom: Are you going to be deployed overseas? War?

Child: No! We are not going anywhere, THEY are coming here, probably already here.

Mom: Who is they?

Child: I can't say anything else. I can't discuss this any further, just stay safe and don't freak out, be smart and be safe.

She then starts talking about ports, cargo ships and the coastlines.

This Airmen is a MP/nuclear detail.

Stay safe Everyone!!

P.S. Sorry can't provide a link to this conversation.
