I need help from someone at Ft. Bragg

Recommended Posts

I need a little help from somebody at Ft. Bragg.
My son is with 82nd Airborne (Alpha CO. 2/508) in Afghanistan. He was supposed to send us his deployment papers before he left in January, but he failed to do that. He did get a power of attorney set up for my wife to conduct his financial affairs while he is gone for a year, but we need to get a hold of the rear deatachment commander to obtain a copy of his deployment papers.

Now I was in SF but that was back in late 70s. I'm clueless on who to contact. I have called the Ft. Bragg operator, the number listed for his detachment, (it is always busy 24/7?) the chaplain, the MPs, all to no avail. Heck I even tried contacting an old friend, retired CSM Doug (Deacon) Hodge, (his wife hung on me :S)

Any help in supplying me with a contact name and number?

Thanks in advance!

Well...i dont have a name and number...but you or prolly her going would be better. Go to the front gate and asjk the guards for the baes's OMBUDSMAN. They ALWAYS have direct contact with all CO's foreign and domestic. It might be longer..but at least it will get done. Thats all the help i can offer. If my brother wasnt deployed right now he could help..he was in the 82nd stationed at bragg. You can try pming him through here. Im not sure if he will get it..but you can try. his username is bigdad510. Maybe he can help too!

What's your boys name? I'll go to the company tommorow and square that away for you. PM me his standard nameline and your contact details so I can call you or have the papers sent to you.

Not to hijack but, He's is our prayers, with thanks.



I appreciate that. And I don't know why I spent two weeks trying to look up phone numbers when within 15 minutes two SF brothers volunteered to solve my dilemma.

SF guys stick together forever! Man, I miss the comraderie!

Scott, thanks for taking care of this. the wife got the fax and we are good to go. She said, "Your SF buddies came through again" She remembers a time when I was deployed and she had car trouble. The garage wanted $300 (a fortune back then) to fix it. She called the Team Sgt and Top and the guys paid a visit in uniform (green berets and all) The cost ended up being $85.

SF for life!!

No worries, glad to do it for you. I had forgotten what it was like to be on that end of the street. I have not seen it in a long time ,nor am I used to so many people standing at parade rest when I enter a room or talk to people. If you need anything else for your son, just let me know.
