bomb, bomb, bomb..ft hood

edited September 2011 in Military moms
Ugh. So hubby deploys soon so they are doing field training all week/weekend. He got to come home last night instead of sleeping in the barracks.

So last night(3am) i hear him on the phone in the bedroom but not sure what is being said b.c. I'm brushing my teeth and had the water going. Anywho, he comes in and says '3rd one!' Me with a puzzled look asks what?
He goes on to tell me a third bomb was just found.

UGH wtf is wrong with people at ft hood??
Last month or so soldier was arrested for plotting an attach. In '09 the shooting happened were 11(if I'm not mistaken) people were killed and several injured.

Ugh... the two bombs were found at his site(where they set up the equipment and practice what they will do when deployed fyi). I was to stunned to ask how they found the bombs or where the other one was.

He goes back to work at 1. Needless to say i didn't sleep very well last night.

I mentioned in a thread yesterday how i have a bad feeling about today. Someone said it is just another day and people shouldn't freak out.
Sorry but imo its not just another day. And even if i didn't know about the 3 bombs I'd still be worried.

I don't usually pray. But lord please be with us all today and keep everyone safe!

  • I'm so worried for him and everyone else who will be on base. We live off base about 4 miles from the main gate.

    What time was it when the last plane hit? I read it on fb somewhere in a post but forget.
  • There is 1,400 rounds of ammunition missing at another base :( can't remember which one (sorry!) but the article mentioned a lockdown on Tuesday I believe, 2 people may be in custody (not 100% bout that)

  • I stay clear of the news. It scares me to much, so i dont watch it and pretend the world is ok.
    I learn almost all my news from Facebook and the news station page on fb. If i find it shocking i will then look it up on the actual news website.
    They won't mention the bombs on the news b.c. it will put everyone in a panic.
  • @marinesangel exactly!! Hubby goes to Kuwait in Nov. and i know he will be better off over there!
  • OMG! Sending prayers! That is scary. We need to all be vigilant, watchful, and careful.

  • Ok. My hubby worked at Ft Hood and said dont read to much into it. For years EOD (Explosive Ordance Division) have been setting up and training bombs on post. The training areas have also been switched around and he said there were always reports of sites that were missed and were still live. He said that they find live rounds on a constant basis there and to not read to much into it. Its Sept 11 paranoia (sp).... Glad your hubby and his unit are ok too...
  • Not training.. disabling...
  • Oh no the bomb was found in a civilian car. It drove from the lake belton entrance to his site. @lilbit01_209 it wasnt found on the side of the road
  • @Leggs2011 Oh wow... Now Im really glad thier ok!!!! My hubbys like.. well thats not EOD... We are not up the street at Ft Sam Houston so that worries me... Are they cutting the exercise till after the weekend or sending them back out?
  • @Leggs2011 When I was in Germany we had a 500lb bomb found buried under the playground that was a block from our barracks. It had been there since WWII and I think they said it was an American dropped bomb.... (I know not all related but It made me think of it... pregnancy brain)
  • He was suppose to be going back at 1. He just got a call(11:30) that he needed to be on site asap. Ugh. I was watching him sleep so peacefully. Even snapped a cpl pics of him.


    11:42 aaaaand he's gone. Its crazy how he can be in such a deep sleep and get a call and be out the door in 5 min.
  • So far nothing :)
    Though i have been sleeping since he left.

    Jesus i sleep soooo gosh darn much! Its 4pm!
