Not official but the rumors are flying. I drew McAlester AAP too! That sucks. I wonder if they will give me rain check?

Don't you hate it when that happens?  But, when you get back you can afford a big trip hunt maybe.  Always a flip side.

Hey man, I just want say thank you for your service!!  

I bet if you talk to the right person over there and explain the situation you may be able to get a rain check!!  It wouldn't hurt to try!

Jim,

Are you going out to Idaho this fall?

I heard the rodeo was back in town at Lewiston.

LOL! Rick!  :rolleyes:   No, not planning on Idaho though I probably should since have to leave this fall. If we ever do end up back in Lewiston and IF the rodeo is in town... drag my A&% back to my room please!!! LOL  UGH that was ROUGH!

It might please you to learn that I have since learned some moderation.  :knothead:   Did I ever send you the bear camp pics Rick?

My son is currently serving in an infantry unit in eastern Afghanistan so we won't be hunting together this fall.  Luckily, he checks in once in awhile so that I know he is OK. He's 30 yrs old and I still worry about him like he's a little kid.

Yeah - my head hurt just watching you.  Yep - moderation is a good thing.  Good to see your experiences have paid off  
  :clapper:  

I don't remember getting any pics.  Did I send you any of mine?  I got a couple from Tom of us all around the table.

I may be headed back out to Gary's this fall, trying to get something set up.

Be safe.

Hey Jim, I started typing this to let ya know how much sweeter it is to be in the woods after you get back. Then I read your full signature and realized that, if there is anyone around here that would already know that, it is You! Good luck either way. I know how it goes. I was there for 1 and 6. Hopefully for your sake that the rumors were started by someone up the chain. They usually only have rumors. Seems like the privates always have the real scoop,lol. Mike

Also, if the rumors do end up being true, don't hesitate to shoot a pm for anything that you might not be able to get while you are there. Also might want to look into Camp Cuervo when the time comes to see if they have a range set up where ever it is that you are going. JDVasos on here helped to get it set up and is a great guy to deal with for sure.

Thanks guys! Luckily our deployments are short and not near as dangerous as most have it over there. Rick I'll send you some pics of our hunt.

I missed many season whilevserving my 30 years. Can not hurt to make your case to the post for a rain check. I know I would write a note to the CO with a copy of your orders.  They have been known to understand deploy
