imagine coming home to find a message from your son calling from Afghanistan, only his phone auto-dialed in the middle of a firefight and left the whole thing on your answering machine, abruptly cutting off after you hear "..incoming! RPG!.."

Crazy..

 

[carrrnuttt]

Wow.

Glad to hear he's okay though. I bet his family was freaked the F out. Much respect and gratitude to him and his family.

 

[Mayo5]

Damn.

 

[sgt d]

wow, poor family must have been rocked hearing that.

 

[PSUCOBRA96]

that sure is weird

How the **** do you get service on a U.S. cell in Afghanistan

 

[WHiTE03MACh]

Prob wasn't a U.S. cell... in Kuwait, some parts of Iraq and some parts of Afghanistan you just buy a SIM card and if you have an unlocked phone, pop it in and you have cell service!

 

[NewKid]

Crazy.

my dad had cell service with his ATT phone in Iraq, but it was expenstive...

one bill was over 1500.00!

 

[WHiTE03MACh]

Yeh I had AT&T and they told me like .50 per text message and like $2.50/min. Thats why you buy a local SIM if possible. In Iraq our tower had been blown up in 04 and never replaced so I was SOL.... had to use satellite phones...

Sprint doesnt even connect over here :cuss:

 

[USMCFieldMP]

Nuts... none of our Cell Phones ever worked when we were in Iraq in 03 or 04.

But you could buy a local phone and use it, supposedly. We never tried... our company had 2 Sat Phones.

 

[canibus]

wow, what a message

 

[SnkBtn99]

Wow.

Damn that is crazy... As a parent that could probably be the worst voicemail possible...

without a doubt, i couldn't finish the message.

teachers hated me when I would defend my beliefs in the classroom, their libby talk would boil my blood and I would fire back. Someone has to stand up in the classroom:mj:

 

[Zoie_daGT]

Im not a parent but, that gives me the ebee jebees. I couldnt imagine hearing my child in that situation, knowing that there is nothing that I could do.

Hey BO. Yeah, the old board is down - not enough participation. Club is gone, not sure what everyone's doing now. I know a few have sold their Cobras.
