Around the coffee pot This forum is for any topic that you would normally talk about at the office "around the coffee pot". Jokes, tall tales, and true stories are welcome as long as they are clean and in good taste. I only ask that you steer away from topics on religion or politics. Go ahead and pull up a chair and pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy the conversation.

Bad situation. The entire post including my clinic was on lockdown, and our clinic is the "backup" for any mass cas event. We were ready but thankfully not needed.

Hearts and prayers to those killed, wounded, and their families. If you have a flag, please put it at half-mast,

Paul, glad to hear you're safe. Prayers are definately being said tonight for all of you in TX.

I visited the fort several times as a young boy. A former uncle was stationed there twice.

Paul, when I heard about it one of my first thoughts was to wonder if you were still stationed there. I am glad to hear you are safe - I was going to PM you. This is indeed tragic. Our poor soldiers put their lives on the line and never expect this from one of their own.

Assuming he survives, he is sure to face a Courts Martial. For this act, life in Leavenworth or any other military run prison is likely to be short and painful.

Extremely tragic.

Unfortunately, the more I read/hear about what authorities already knew about this guy, the more angry I get.
