Tigger

[laranger]

Has been MIA through no fault of his own. His computer is sadly not expected to survive, so until he can get a new one he won't be posting on here. He is fine and misses not being here with us. Some of you may have seen him lurking, which he can do with his phone, he can read the forums but when he tries to post from his phone it won't load his msg. He is trying to get his other laptop up and running.

[mart]

Ok Laranger, thanks for keeping us informed, much appreciated, glad he's ok.;)

[WhyYou]

I have talked with tigger a few times since his computer died. There may be a possibility of him getting one of his other computers working (he has more than one dead laptop). He will be doing his best to get back here asap.

[MISSY]

[MISSY]

He is only to be gone 4 weeks. but knowing him he will find a way to stay a bit longer. you have to know him to understand why i say that.

[MISSY]

Sorry i have to make small posts or my phone times out and wont let me post it

[Texasdrake]

At least Tigger is able to do what he enjoys doing. :)
It was nice seeing you on here again Missy.This place isn't the same without both you and Tigger. :D

[MISSY]

[mart]

Sorry i have to make small posts or my phone times out and wont let me post it

Just nice to hear from you MISSY!, no matter how small the post is.;)

[MISSY]

Got a e mail from Sarah last night. tigger called her. he will be working in a field hosp. giving the troops the shots for the swine flu. she said he will be there for the next cupple of days. so he will have no way of comunicating till gets back to the ship

[MISSY]

To answer a questiom. yes the marines do have combat medics. back in the early 90s they had a program to teach marines to be medics. but it was ended in 93. tigger and jeromy are boalth combat medics. tigger is with a recon unite and jeromy is with a infentry unite..

[DWM222]

Tell him to be careful over there if you get to talk to him..

[MISSY]

No word yet. he must still be out in the field. Jeromy told me that only at risk and wounded troops are getting thd flu shots. someone healthy does not need it. Jeromy and his dad are out on the boat again. im at the house with his mom. she is nitting a hous or something? lol

[laranger]

Just recieved this from Missy; "Matt emailed Amanda last night when he returned to the ship, then slept for 12 hrs straight. They ran out of flu shots and may not be able to get more. He will be flying med flights in and out of Afghanistan again. He emailed Amanda a photo of him tending to a cut on the foot of a 3 yr old Afghanistan girl and she was holding on to his nose. Amanda said it was so cute. I tried to post this morning but it wouldnt let me, if you would, that would be great!"

Unfortunatly for us, he has sent some photos back but has requested that they not be posted until he returns home and goes through them .

[MISSY]

Tigger called Jeromy today.he was in Germany they flew a bunch of wounded tn the AFB.there.

[MISSY]

He will be flying back to Afhgan. in the morning.

[MISSY]

Amanda got a e mail from tigger all is well with him

[MISSY]

Tigger is a smartass. he sent Amanda an e mail saying he had gotten wounded and she needed to send him a kiss right away so he could put it on his paper cut !
Im going to kick his *** for that one! scare us like that.

[T-bone Thomas]

Welcome in Germany Tigger! Although it is just for a few hours it's an honour to have you here. Good luck for your operation in Afghanistan.

[laranger]

I just recieved an email frm Tigger. He said to tell everyone "Hi" He just finished working an 18 hour shift. He can send and receive email. If anyone wants to send him an email please don't include any attachments, just short quick messages. His computer access is limited to 5 minutes.

[laranger]

Just received this yesterday from Missy, She asked me to post it for her. Tigger says; "I had to fly in and pick up some Marines that paid the ultimate price. 4 of them. I may be back home Oct 8th. I have to go, I have to be in the hanger bay in 15 minutes."

[mart]

Thanks for the post Laranger, although it's sad to hear four guys paid the ultimate price. I salute these men of courage and all the Marines.

[MISSY]

Tigger just sent me this. on behaf of the navy air wing and the 32 medical wing who found a way to play it on the wide screen thank T Bone for the video that laranger e mailed tig. they are all now in love!

[MISSY]

It was the video T Bone made of Allison and Lia in vagas. i asked laranger to send it to Tigger but i did not know he had no way of watching it. but he seemed to have found a way. along with 80 other horny men. lol

[T-bone Thomas]

I'm glad Tigger and his comrades could watch my little video. It's an honor for me to entertain those brave men and women a bit with my beautiful friends Alison and Lia. I'm sure both girls would see it the same way and are glad to support our troops this way.
Thanks Laranger for sending Tigger the video. May I ask which video it was? Was it "Primp me up baby" or "Breakfast with Lia and Alison"?

[laranger]

Got a call from Tigger today, he is well but has been working his butt off and has a lot of flight time in already. It's not hammered in stone yet, but he still thinks he will be home on or around Oct. 8th. Guess they really need him at work now, he says things started to really pick up. More news as I get it.

[DWM222]

Thanks for keeping us posted laranger....& thanks to both you & TBone for making sure the boys over there have something "Beautiful" to look at...:)

[laranger]

Just recieved this from Missy;

"I just got an email from Tigger. He will be on his way home on Oct. 10th. He will be hitching a ride home with a unit that is rotating out. He will have a few days at home, He will be going camping with Sarah. He wants to spend a little time with her."


I don't know why, but at times she has problems posting any info about Tigger, so as soon as I get it you guys will have it also. I for one, miss him; hope he has a smooth trip home.

[laranger]

The latest news from Missy on Tigger. "well it is confermd he will be leaving on the 10th and should be home by the 12th or so. I will be so glad when he is out of there!"

Thanks Laranger and i'm sure we'll all be glad when Tigger and his team are back safe and sound.

[DWM222]

Great...I miss his posts on the forum..glad he's coming home:)

[laranger]

Leave it to Mother Nature to screw things up. I just got off the phone with Tigger and he is now headed to ""American Samoa" where he will have no phone contact until his work is finished. Hopefully it won't be for a long time. He will contact me when he can and then I'll let you all know what is up. "God Bless our service men and women."

[captnjack]

Terrible tragedy that struck that island but at least Tigger is not in a war zone!

[laranger]

Members; I just received this email from Missy.

"Tigger was injured yesterday. He was helping remove a body and some wood fell which he got caught up in, along with some others. He will be alright and was able to walk back to the aid tent. He has a broken nose and 8 stitches in his arm. That's all we know for now. By the time you read this, he will be on his way home.

Just got an update from Missy;

"Tigger is in Hawaii right now, he will be flying into Miramar Marine base in CA. in the morning. Along with his broken nose he has 2 broken teeth, a cut on his chin and the cut on his arm which required the stitches.

They must have been using heavy machinery to help move things while looking for victims. A backhoe operator knocked over a wall on to all 4 of the guys working. One of the other guys got both of his legs broken. He will be home in a few days also."

That's one tough ol' man. All in the name of helping others...

[laranger]

Got a call from Tigger today, he is sore as hell but is back in the States now. He is in California and will be there until Friday receiving medical treatment for his injuries. Then he will have a week off and will be on a camping trip with his daughter.

Well if anyone has earnt a camping trip, it's Tigger and i really hope he has a great time.

[DWM222]

Glad to hear he's back:)

[laranger]

Got a call from Tigger today. He is in Atlanta at his sisters house, feeling much better and will head home tomorrow. Then he will take a day off to relax and get his body accliamated to the time change, then he is off camping for a week.

[laranger]

Tiggers tour for now is over. He will still have his reserve time to do, but his overseas time is all done. He will be headed out camping with his daughter by the time you read this. Then they will assemble the team all together again and all will return to doing what they do best.

[laranger]

Just got off the phone with Tigger. It has rained almost all week on them, so he and his daughter hiked out, 2-1/2 hours in the rain to get to the truck, then drove home. He will return to work Monday.

I have to also add that it still may be a while before we will see him return to the forum as his computer died, Missy attempted to fix it for him but alas, it was to far gone for any help. Until he gets a new one and returns I will try to post anything I am allowed to for you guys.

[DWM222]

Thanks for the info laranger...be glad when he gets back on line..:)

[laranger]

Just got this from Missy to post for you members.

Tigger is back to work this morning. He was met with a lot of crying and hugging from the girls, and i gave him a kick in the butt as promised for asking to go over there. He looks great, he lost some of the weight he has been trying to shed. The cut on his arm is not as bad as i thought, he will have a scar but not bad. We are all just very glad to have him back.

[mart]

Yes your right Laranger, we'll be very glad to have him back and he'll get a heroe's welcome. Thanks for keeping us posted through Tigger's absence Laranger.

[tigger]

Tigger...Glad you are back safe & sound...Great pictures..Thanks:)

[mart]

Interesting pictures Tigger, thanks for letting us see the good work you guys do.;)

[laranger]

I got a phone call from Tigger yesterday. He was too sick to drive and was a passenger while another team member drove to where they had to go. He went to the ER and they decided to keep him overnight. Today I recieved this from Missy to post.

"Hey guys; Matt went to the DR. last night he was sick all day yesterday. He was dehydrated, and his enzymes were high, so they kept him over night. We went to see him this morning and they are going to keep him for the day to give him fluids and get his enzymes under control. It's not serious, they are just worried about it due to his other health issues and he cant take his meds because he cant keep anything down. They are giving him his meds thru the Iv. He will be fine; just needs some rest, They don't think it's food poisoning. They think he has a mild virus. Should be ok in a day or two."

[Anoree]

I hope Tigger gets well soon.

[captnjack]

Yeah get well soon tigger.

[tigger]

Just cought a little bug, but im doing alot better now.

[tigger]

Why do nurses have to wake you up every hour to ask if you need somthing to help you sleep?????????? I was ready to hurt this women if she woke me up one more time to see if i was sleeping ok. And she had the nurve to tell Amanda that i was cranky!!!:mad:

[Anoree]

That sounds like a classic mariage bedtime scenario: "Honey, are you sleeping already?" :D

It's good to hear you're better already.
