Emergency Situation At Fort Benning

[RetPara]

I think this is more serious than a soldier NOT wear his PT belt.... but these days....

Since it seems to be at the Warrior Transition Battalion; I think this will be ugly.....

From FOXNews

FORT BENNING, Ga. – Authorities at Fort Benning, the U.S. Army post in west Georgia, say they're dealing with an ongoing "emergency situation" at the post's Warrior Transition Battalion.

Fort Benning officials said Wednesday afternoon on the base's official Facebook account and on Twitter that officials have secured the area and that personnel were safety evacuated as a precaution.

Base officials said in the social media posts that children in a child development center were safe but were being moved to another site due the emergency.

The base provided no other details, and Fort Benning officials could not immediately be reached or did not give further information Wednesday afternoon.

FINAL: The emergency situation has been officially cleared.

UPDATE: The emergency situation at the Fort Benning WTB is close to a resolution.
The details of the situation are as follows: A Soldier who asked for help with a battery jump, mis-identified part of the electrical system within the assisting person's vehicle. Due to the Soldier's concern for the safety of personnel in the area, he alerted emergency officials to what he felt to be a threat. Officials on scene have determined the situation is not a threat to personnel in the area and are completing their final checks. We will let you know when the area is
officially cleared.

Re-read the report. Soldier saw wires and such he did not recognize and thought that it might be an explosive device. Alerted authorities. NOT soldier unable to figure out how to start car. I would rather the soldier was alert and wrong then not alert myself.

Just because you can read clearly and effectively and we can't doesn't make you any better than us.

Dude, If paranoia is at that level then I guess I'll never open the CUCV's fucking hood on base. MC can attest to that.
