the thread on the poliboard by jjdoc actually broke this story before any MS media or twitter accounts did. Amazing how fast news travels on here.

prayers to all the troops.

Well it wasn’t at The Outer Limits.

The moral guardians shut down the titty club by the base back in the early 2000s.

If you’ve noticed more military equipment and vehicles than usual on Coast highways, it’s because nearly 4,000 troops from Alaska have been arriving to train at Camp Shelby this month.

Called Operation Arctic Anvil, it’s the first large-scale, no-notice military deployment exercise to be conducted on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

The operation tests the strengths and capabilities of the 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne) and the 25th Infantry Division from Anchorage, Alaska, the newest airborne brigade combat team and one of only six in the Army.

Yeah, I don’t think this was how they intended to test those strengths and capabilities.

Sadly its not just minor injuries.

Ive been listening to the scanners for about an hour and a half. Family member got the call about 2 hours ago to head into the hospital for all hands on deck. The MDOT cameras showed a line of ambulances heading to Forrest General

I don’t understand what happened, it doesn’t sound like a plane went down. Sounds like a preplanned jump and they were off target or something?
