...as if we didn't expect it. Around 3am central time Special Forces connected with AFSOC deployed. No idea where as of yet, but was sudden, from a central CONUS base. Airmen had less than an hour notice to be on flight. I hope to God we're not going to push our luck "over there". This info came to me DIRECT from one deploying..

Have a hard time believing you got anywhere near this level of detail if its real, there is a reason they have lockdown protocols predeployment
I received a lot more info than that, but keep it to myself. I maintain a certain security level as well because of a son's position and my past. Saying that they are moving is not prohibited, as anybody that lives on/near base can see for themselves. In this case I know most of the assets, but not destination. The particular aircraft being deployed are kind of hard to miss, but are used for many kinds of missions, in conjunction with all branches, around the globe. The only thing unusual was the extreme short-notice. NONE of them are squawking.
And anyway...if we wanted more info / intel we'd just go to the BX / PX and speak with the wives. ;)
