Messages to Sadam Well some of you by now may have figured out that I am military by my name Firstshirt(nickname for first sergeant). I will be leaving in a few days to join my comrades in the sand. Its pretty obvious that we will be dropping bomds in a few weeks. As a Revs supporter I am offering this to all who choose to participate. Post a message you want written on a bomb and I will take the best 5 or 6 and make it happen. I will bring a marker to the flight line and copy them down for you. I have no doubt that some of you will come up with some very interesting quotes. Make them pretty short too, no more than say 5 or six words. Yours in service
I have a friend who'll soon be in the region: Air Force outta Stuttgart, Germany. This is his 2nd trip over, having already served in Desert Storm. Don't know what to suggest for a catchy phrase, but I'll say the same to you as I said to my friend: Take it easy, be careful and get back soon. Cheers, The Magpie
how about..."we cordially invite you to inspect this" be careful over there and good luck in your mission
Messages to Sadam I echo the words of The Magpie. as for a message how bout "************ you Sadam and everything you stand for" , ahh ************ too long. Go Revs!
thanks guys,,,appreciate the thoughts.... I plan on writing something like..... "This will put a bulge in your old onion bag!" Steve_R,,,,thats a pretty good one,
"This bomb has been searched for any signs of rust, we at the navy/airforce/whatever assure you that you will not die of tetanus." --Hmm, Too long and cliche-ish I'll get a better one later
Re: Messages to Sadam my message is I hope you are safe and this war never comes to pass. We had a war in the 60s and 70s that was a put-up job by our leaders. I can't believe we are doing it again.
how about: "What's your sand doing on my oil?" I pray for the safety of both you and the women and children of Iraq.
Ditto Bruce S The only ones likely to "receive" your message are poor desperate people. Here's hoping that you come home soon and safe. My brother could be right behind you.
Good Luck My best wishes for a safe tour and a quick return. I had three combat tour in RVN and know what it's like to leave your family to go into harms way. My prayers are with you. George Griffin Capt/USN/Ret
I pray for our safety, which is why (I hope) we're doing this. But first and foremost, I pray for the safety of you Firstshirt, and everyone else there who's risking their lives so that we can live the lives we do. Our pal Sadaam could avoid all this by coming clean and he's not doing it. Obviously there's something he's hiding and I think it's meant for us. I pray that you guys find the rats nest and then clean it out permanently.
9/11 That is a simple one: "2001/9/11" BTW 1LT de Sá Pereira, USMC is the XO of Fox Co. in USS Duluth, on his way. This is his second time in the Middle East, he was in Kuwait last year for 6 mos.
I usually don't post on other team's boards but: firstshirt, we are all thinking about you and all other military personal stationed overseas. Take care of yourself and good luck. C14
Good luck, godspeed and may you return soon, without anyone having to get in harm's way. My suggestions: 'US Inspection Team', 'Uncle Sam says "Say Ahhhh".'
Yeah I ve got a step brother there already and my brother is getting shipped out in a few weeks......no message, just take care, you represent the greatest country in the world, we're already proud of you, godspeed firstshirt.... -PB20
"Government of the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth." ~ A. Lincoln "Saddam, enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead." "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." "Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom." "Live Free or Die" Best wishes for a safe, successful mission for you and your mates! We look forward to your return home.
damn guys,,,,I meant for this to generate some good one liners and instead your getting me all choked up!! Its great to see that even though some people may not agree on this possible war, they still back the troops. You guys are great,,,,,,,How about a simple " sadam, From Revs Fans with love!" Thanks guys for all your support. Its gonna be hard to leave my wife and 3 teenage daughters for an undertermined amount of time....not to mention the possibility of missing JMM return to the Revs!! Hopefully I will get some internet time over there and keep up with the news.
