In the last 1-2 days, I have received no less then 4-5 Group Distro Emails for a wide variety of information..... what is very entertaining is that they are all coming from 3-4 different distro lists out of Ft. Belvoir!! I am really sorry to hear about their unscheduled outage for their Blackberry Messaging service.....I am also very sorry to hear about the loss of one of their team members and I hope that the Nutrition Services Department "Grab-N-Go" staff and any Hospital staff able to go, will be able to greive appropriately at the memorial service. What is interesting is that it has been 16 years since I was affiliated with the Army. I have NEVER been to Ft Belvoir, nor do I have any intentions of going. Just curious if anyone else has had problems like this before? I have hit "REPLY" to each and every email received asking them to review their distro list (in hopes that they take my name off and add whomever they were SUPPOSED to add the first time!). Hoping for speedy resolution...before they melt my email inbox!!

Possible that there is a SM by the name of Chris Nelson at Belvoir and when he inprocessed there, gave them an incorrect e-mail. That happened to me. There is another Paul Labrador in the Army. He's a medic oddly enough. His AKO e-mail had a digit added to it to differentiate between his and my e-mails. Well, when he inprocessed Landstuhl, he gave them my e-mail by accident. I was getting e-mails from Germany trying to get ahold of him. Imagine my surprise, while I was deployed to Iraq, I get an e-mail from the post library saying I was overdue on returning a DVD when not only am I deployed, but never been stationed in Germany....! ;o)
