Deployed Fans

[4therush]

I am deployed in Afghanistan, And i was wondering if there were any other fans that will be deployed during this coming season. I wont get to see the games but I will be on the forums trying to follow our team :captain america:

[merc49ers]

I hate being deployed during the season. I was deployed during the 2004 season (I don't know if I wanted to witness what happened during that season, but I hate missing a game). If your lucky, AFN might put on a game for you. I was fortunate enough to catch one of the 49ers/Rams games while I was deployed.

Yea AFN is not to great on my fob but they should show us a few games. i hope to catch at least one Niner game. I will be here just long enough to miss the whole season.:banghead:

[SourdoughTony]

Thanks for serving our country.

[SemperFi49erFan]

The best way to catch the game is NFL gameday or something like that. Especially if AFN doesnt come through or show the game. I was in Iraq for all of 2008 but I got lucky and they showed ALOT of 49er games. I wish the best of luck to you and come home safe Brother.

[JLeonor]

theninerempire.com would like to thank you for serving our country. Be Safe and you are in our thoughts

[Tru-Niners]

The Tru Niners fully support and appreciate all the men and women serving our country! We salute you!

[airbornetexan]

I'm currently deployed on my second tour of Iraq. I'm at Camp Victory, in Baghdad, Iraq. I missed the 2006 season and I'm going to miss this one as well. I have my Crabtree jersey already and my niners gear, I'm repping proud over here! Good luck to everyone else whos deployed!

[49erFred]

Thank you and all the brave soldiers, Marines..who serv our country.. You guys are the real Hero's

[JL 103]

Hey guys get back safe. I don't know if they have it deployed or not but they always had every game on somewere. Usally at the E-bar stateside. Any way good luck, and at worst just keep up on the gameday threads.

Thank you for serving our country, thank you for risking your life day in and day out so that we can all lay our heads down and sleep in peace. Thank you for keeping us safe, thank you. Please return home safe. And over the season you can possibly watch a game or two online...

[4therush]

I thank you all for your suport and sugestions. I will use them all in hopes of catching a 9er game.:friends: I will also say there are alot of military over here suporting our teams. So when your at the game or even at home watching our teams play. Drink a beer or two for those of us that cant be there with you, and we will keep our heads down. :pards:

[4therush]

Yeah, me too. Felt pretty good to be able to watch the Niners in the sand box though. Hey, 4therush, keep your head down baby.

Will do:) I am on a small fob not to far from pakistan so we have to take what they give lol. Thanks agian.

Oh I'm gonna get shlt faced just for you and then I'll drink one for myself.:sfhelmet:

[linkboy]

I was deployed all of last season in Iraq, and the 06 season as well.

Luckily, I changed jobs to where I won't deploy for the next two seasons, so I'll get to watch some 49ers games at a reasonable time.

The only downside is that I'm in Montana and Seattle is the local NFC team (at least the bowling alley has Sunday Ticket).

Good luck, be safe, kick some butt and get home soon.

[af49er]

I will be deployed in December/January. So I will miss the last part of the season. But I already have AFN so the NFL coveage already sucks.

Be safe and get home soon!!!

[Niner_4_life_94]

I was deployed all 2004 to 2005.. We had AFN but they only showed couple of games.. Thank you for your service and Please return Safe.. GOD BLESS!!

[49ersPhEnOm]

Thank you and all the brave soldiers, Marines..who serv our country.. You guys are the real Hero's

no love for the air force? lol ok..nah its all good...i would hate it if i were to deploy and not see a niner game..i see us having a good year this year.:sfhelmet:

Best wishes to my brothers and sisters in all branches come home safe!

Hey Brother I got You,

I am currently deployed in OIF (Army) and will be getting home sometime this year (or so they tell me). It's a kick in the rear, AFN (Armed Forces Network, basically military TV, you probally already know this unless you're new to the military) shows the games 3 days late typically (occasionally they will have one or two of the games live (the big ticket ones) but Iraq is a 10-11 hour time difference (doesn't do daylight savings), and I hear Afghanistan is a 13-14 hour time difference. Problem is AFN Sport has sportscenter and it is only a day behind (and is on in ALL the chow-halls) and they always show the highlights, so watching a game is **** hard knowing the outcome. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message, I'd be happy to give you an email and answer any questions I can.

Airborne Texan, you with eighty-deuce in Baghdad? Reason I ask is I spent some time at FOB Hammer (one of your brigade's bsb's is there) and got a pic of me on 49ers Road.

Nah I'm attached to MNF-I Command Group, I'm on a PSD (TSE) team. I'm originally with I-Corps HSC out of Fort Lewis, WA. I'm active duty.

[airbornetexan]

REP i remember when i was in the military people hated on me so much for being a niner fan. And this was the year they came back to beat the Giants in the playoffs. I know how much manhate you receive and you have to be loyal to hang that ...... cant say it enough REP REP REP

Oh I deffinately hear it, two of my roommates are Packers fans, and the other is a Bears fan. When those three are going at it, they hate on me for being a Niners fan. Thanks again for support though! Go Niners!

[Elligirl49]

Yes there is alot of hate for a niner fan here. But a true fan doesnt let the haters bother them. I have been a fan longer then most of them have been alive. Kinda giving away my age huh lol.

Lol!

Thank you to all the men and women who serve our country!

MNF-I PSD, oh god that must be gay, I bet you're out of victory or Liberty. I always feel sorry for the combat arms guys that get stuck in a shop somewhere without a sector.

haha, you're right. Camp Victory actually. Yep, this is my last hoo-rah so to speak, as I'm stop-lossed and set to ETS next March. I volunteered for this deployment because I had two bestfriends who were going to stay in to go, and couldn't let em go without me. So here I am. PSD is gay, especially because we work for the MNF-I CSM, and I'm his gunner - which riding in a truck with a guy (a Sapper at that) who thinks he's super hardcore, who really isn't, can get annoying when he's calling out every MRE box on the side of the road. Baghdad is weak. I was in Fallujah/Ramadi last tour, and oh boy, did we have some fun...

I am up in Diyala right now (FOB War Horse)and we're having.... fun. If you can call it that, oh and tell that CSM of yours to knock off the low carry rule on VBC, it's funny as hell watching fobbits salute with a weapon but some officer is going to get shot. I think I have one more deployment left, Afghanistan in a couple. I love the Shooter McCooter types, they're a kick, there is a PSG of this one TAC we sometimes roll with that is like that, always wants EOF back-briefs and gets a hardon when he gets to run someone off the road.

haha, well there are very few posts left in iraq that are no-salute. mostly marine bases. force protection is so good, it'd be hard for a sniper to get an officer. i mean - vbc and alot of fobs have burger king for crying out loud. i was actually just at war horse a couple weeks ago. we pass through there regularly. a guy on our team was with 2nd I.D. at war horse in 07-08. the monument of the fallen soldiers that war horse has hits home, i was in iraq in 06-07, and it was a hard time back then. 06 was insane in iraq, especially with the surge. anyways bro - take care and keep in touch. maybe when i head back up that way ill see u around. whats your name/rank?

[49erJames]

Most every COP I have, or do stay on is no hat/no salute, usually only a company or platoon sized element there though, showers every 5th day no ugandans. Fun places.

[49erlott]

Im not being 'deployed', but I will be shipping out for basic in august, and I wont be done with all my training till December. Im hoping that I will be able to catch a few games in AIT.

Yea, I am on a small fob in Afghanistan and you better salute an officer. And every fob/base I have been on is the same way. I guess things have changed. When I was getting ready everyone I knew that had been deployed said never salute. Now its mandatory. Hooah!!!

Well as a soldier who is getting out soon, thanks for signing up and keeping this thing going. Thanks for your (future) service. You going Army? What's your MOS?

[49erlott]

Yea, army is the only way for me. Im going to be in the reserves for a year, while during that time Im going to an 88 mike (Not a glamorous job, but it beats being a logistics person. :drive:) Then next year Im going to go active and change my MOS to 19 Delta.

truuuuuuck drivvaaaaah. good luck in all you do man.:friends:

[Mojn]

I am not in the military but it is very very hard to catch games in China.

[49erlott]

Thanks man, yea, it was the closest thing I could get to something slightly exciting :)

[airbornetexan]

Oh trust me, being an 88M, you're in high demand over here in Iraq and likewise in Afghanistan. Depending on what unit you fall into, being on convoys 3 to 4 days a week can either be good, or really bad - depending on the equipment you have. Just a heads up - the vehicle called the M-RAP, sucks worse than JTO. Oh it's true...

[49erJames]

PFFFT, the M-Rap is awesome, unless you get a Max-Pro, I have a cougar 2 and it's my baby. I've put my ***** through houses, cars, an IA Checkpoint, hell and back and it keeps going.

Alright, thanks for the heads up man. Are you 88m?

[airbornetexan]

nah, just work with alot of 'em

[49erJames]

88M's are a bunch of paranoid superstitious jerks that will call up their own shadow.

[JL 103]

Good luck to all of you eather playing in the sand, or mountain climbing while the niners are playing. I will be back stateside trying to keep you safe.

[airbornetexan]

88M's are a bunch of paranoid superstitious jerks that will call up their own shadow.

kind of messed up. you cant lump all 88m's into the same category. they risk their lives just like most of us here, i for one have alot of respect for truck drivers. :sfhelmet:

[49erJames]

It's not that I don't respect them, mad love for anyone who goes outside the wire to do what we do, but more than once we've had to check out something in sector the trans guys called up only to have it be nothing.

[4therush]

Hey better safe then dead right? Got to stay alert man. You know this. I would rather they call it in, then read about them being blown up. And mad respect for everyone. We all do our part. Hooah!!!

[49erJames]

Better to check it out yourself and risk your own neck than to call someone else to do it for you and have that on your conscience.

Note: I don't necessarily think ALL 88M's are paranoid chickens, I guess just our BTB.

Well you dont have to worry about me doing that, my first choice was to go 19d, but I wanted to go through the reserves for a year to get my footing.

BTW, heading down to meps tomorrow, and swearing in on thursday.

[49erJames]

hahah don't get ****ed over at MEPS, you can always tell them no and if they don't give you what you want, walk, they'll give it to you to get you.

[JL 103]

Ain't that the truth. But at that time in the process you just want to get out and go to sleep.

[49erlott]

Thanks for the support :drive:

[49erlott]

Guess I got a new record at MEPS LA, got in there at 0500, and got sworn in and out of there by 1315 :francis:

[49erJames]

Holy crap, you get the MOS/Bonus/everything you want? Oh also, that TSGT Airforce female that wears the BDU's at the counter (well 2 years ago anyways), I hope you told her she was a ***** for me.

Pretty much. I dont know about a TSGT, but there was this fine as hell student there that was from KU who looked to be about 23. Sadly the Specialist there was flirting with her, and I was stipped down to my skiveys :drive: and also there the matter that my girl is out at school at Missouri Southern State University.

That doesn't matter. Women in the military get hit on all the time.

Good plan man, steer her in the direction of the Coast Guard, those gals are stingy as hell.

[FaithfulFanLiz]

Thanks to all the brave people serving our country! Just keep checking in on the MB, everyone will be happy and honored to keep you up on all the 49er news, and probably anything else you want to hear about!

[49erlott]

Even better Peace Core.

There you go man, tell her to get her *** to the Peace Core.

[49erlott]

Wow, that blows man...good luck with that one...

[JL 103]

Trust me, I'm trying her real dad is an army scout.

[49erJames]

19D, Cav scot, I almost went cav scout, fun MOS, the scouts out here play with stun grenades all day long. I want one... Oh and don't go peace core, if you go peace core you run into... ocmplications... with getting a secuirity clearance if you ever want to work for or with the government. If you're worried about her virtue, military or paramilitary service isn't the place, a bunch of really tightly wound guys that are full of machismo and generally have less fear than your average goose.

[glassrose106]

Thank you to all felow Niner fans that are deployed for serving our country and thanks to those have already. Good luck and we will be thinking of you guys during the season.

[49erlott]

Trust me, I'm trying her real dad is an army scout.

Yikes, I bet he wants her in the army huh?

[JL 103]

Yikes, I bet he wants her in the army huh?

yea. And I will not let that happen. And I applied to join the peace core out of active duty and it didn't hurt my security clearance. And I have a nice job in Knoxville guard unit.

[49erJames]

As I said COMPLICATIONS (I know I mispelled it) arise with peace core and a clearance, usually if you already have a clearance it's no biggie, but if you go PC first you run into issues, I have a buddy that couldn't get MOS Qualified over the deal, he now kicks in doors as an 11B instead of what he wanted to do because of it.

I understand. But I had no problems with getting my security clearance after I lost my line badge. There was no problems with my higher clearance. There could have been other issues with his case.
