My service is an honor and privilege. Thank you for all the support.

I am going to try and contact the base biologist tomorrow to see if I can get a quality pass for next year.

Spoke to Mr. Starry and it is a no go. It was worth a try.

First off, thank you for your service.

Second, yeah it does suck.  Been there done that during Desert Storm.  I'll never forget the morning of October 1st, 1990.  We were driving and went past a camel pen, where they had a male camel that they used for breeding race camels (over there they treat the camels like Kentucky Derby horses...no lie).  I couldn't help but to mentally pick a spot behind that stud camel's shoulder and let an imaginary arrow fly.  Lol!

See the post commander, at least via AA form. I was a commander and would honor you and your service with a pass.  Your service deserves some consideration.
Thanks for your continued service.  If only was younger.....

I dont think the Post C.O has much to do with the hunt. I have a letterdrafted to the Director of the Oklahoma Dept. of Wildlife Conservation.

Thanks for your service and yes I know the feeling. Missed out on the 1967 deer hunt. But made up for it. Be safe over there.

No worries.......you are going on a fully guided, all expenses paid hunt....with no bag limit!

That's how I looked at it each time....

I wrote the wildlife manager/biologist at the AAP. This is what he wrote back.
"Mr. Richards, I apologize for the misunderstanding. I was under the
impression you were a contractor going to Iraq on a job. However considering
you are in the military and have been deployed, we will be more than happy
to work with you. I will flag your name on this year's hunting list. Upon
your return, you will need to contact us and we will make arrangements for a
hunt next year for the corresponding weekend. Again I apologize for the
mistake. I have two boys in Afghanistan myself. Our soldiers need all the
support we can give them".

This is an awesome gesture!
