My guess?
He was breaking it to a TACP wannabe that he was being washed out and now he's gonna be in Security Forces.
Bump for happening

Lackland is infested with sand niggers. May as well call it lackistan.

Fuark that's sad
Someone on base said the shooter was being served discharge papers and flipped.
But aren't guns banned on base?
>>70365745
I dunno Anon, killing is illegal too, I can't imagine how could someone smuggle a gun through security then.
Do these people have no decency of following the law? Geez.
>>70365582
Family member on base said the news report is wrong but they won't tell us what happened. They said they had to lay on the floor for 4 hours and that's all they were willing to say on the phone.
Notice the beret the Lt Col is wearing.
I'm thinking he was a SERE qualified officer.
just to give you an idea of the operator level of a TACP ...

I'm a HAM radio guy, TACPs give me a hard on.
They work with every branch so they get to train with regular units and elite units of each branch.
Bad dudes.
Ex security forces here, even though I'm out, tacp still gives me a hard on

We went on lockdown. Our major (squadron cmdr) told us not to comment on shit we don't know. I know as much as you do, except I was here when it happened.

>>70362973
Sup I was there

Basically this nigga was getting an article 15 or some shit, and was mad at his dade (commando) and shot the dudeo with (2 glocks?)
Both the annex and main base were locked down for approx 2 hours, with annex being locked down possibly longer. Personnel were instructed to stay inside, lock doors, shut off lights.
The young airman also killed himself, as he probably realized how retarted he was being afterwards.
Smuggling a gun on base is ez as fuck, seriously they have never checked my car since I got here, which was like April 2015.

I have a friend working at the chapel (not a faggot tech school white rope), and he received probably 300+ calls as soon as this shit went international.
Literally all family members of trainees screaming into the phone trying to find out what the fuck is going on. Friend had no idea really so he just kept having to tell them to calm down and he doesn't know.
>>70373332
>this nigga was getting an article 15 or some shit
was he/she a trainee or a squadron member?
>>70373838

TACP Trainee, since he was allegedly getting an article 15, that's almost 100% a discharge, if not that then he was probably going to be re-classed into security forces.
I assume the guy really wanted to be a TACP, and just flipped out when he found out.
>>70374061
Correction: It's not 100% a discharge, but most likely either that or definitely a reclass.

helicopter operations
>learn to sling loads, and not fall out
>>70374061
Therefore through assumptions, it is not categorized as a terrorist attack. It was just some kid off his knockers, wanting revenge in a very extreme and stupid way.
>>70362973
If the victim was a high ranking officer then the shooter was probably another higher up, just like in Ft. Hood
Now that the government let in 10k syrians and is in SJW mode for moslems here it shouldn't come to any surprise stuff like this will continue to happen
>>70367516
Those sere school officers are badasses. I went through SERE for being an army blackhawk crew chief. Worse few weeks of my entire life.
>>70374307
Something I also find really interesting, is TACP trainees usually PT at the same time as my squadron, so I could have easily ran past this guy and not even known it. Maybe even multiple times.
>>70374061
>article 15, that's almost 100% a discharge
>>70374702
I corrected myself right after I posted. For a second I thought standards were different for TACP when it comes to article 15 but realized my mistake.
>>70374189
ah... we call air landing operation prozedures.
We dont have a badge for that :(

>>70375080
He's TACP lol
Everyone on the base will be awarded the Air Force combat medal, for superior service in the face of hostile action.
>>70370759
they call in airstrikes for army units and some special operations groups.
