Hi, wondering if anyone knows a Ranger who served in Grenada with last name Bual. I don't have a first name, rank, or unit (yet); it may be a long shot but I'm just throwing it out there in case anyone's familiar with the last name. Just asking 'cos he's a distant uncle of mine; his parents live in Oregon from what I can remember. The last picture I saw of him was him with his teammates in a b&w photo with a cobra's head faded into the background of it. I was 13 at the time, now 27, so please excuse me if some of my details are vague.

Sorry dude, I asked a buddy who was 2/75, and another who was 1/75 in Grenada, and they couldn't recall him. Perhaps someone else will. Wish I could help...

Thanks JTF! I was also considering signing up for the military.com thing to see if I could find out where he is/was.

Well if the spelling is correct, and he was a Ranger back then, there is a Ranger Bual ... SFC Ramon Bual.

Hope that helps.

Check your mail as well.

jinX,

No problem, anytime bro. And Copy on the e-mail.

JTFR,

I haven't talked to him in over a week, and from what I can see he deleted his entire account which is sorta odd. Normally I wouldn't sweat it, but I was supposed to be going up to N.C. next week to visit him for the weekend, and I'm not sure if he's in D.C. like he said he'd be or out of the loop altogether since its been a while since last seeing him. Regardless, I'll relay the message through the sister-n-law if I don't hear from him soon.

By the way, lol thanks http://www.specialoperations.com/ubboard/smile.gif

JTF Ranger,

Got a phone call from Soul today, and had barely remembered this post ... anyhow I relayed what you had said to him, and he told me to lay the following down on you:


I've been on the "wire" (???) a lot lately and things are beginning to pick up so I deleted my account since the time would be limited, I'll either e-mail you myself from a pop3 address, or I'll pass along a webmail address to you through my brother. I need to air out a lot of stuff, work related. The shits been hitting the fan for the last month and I'm caught in it. RLTW/DOL and hope Bush's social security plan works out for you ...


If I get that webmail address I'll e-mail it to you instead of posting it here ... would of did the same with this but my mail server is acting like its getting underpaid by its pimp for the 3rd time in the last 2 months. POS.

===============
Guy,

Would of e-mailed you as well but for the above problems couldn't ... just wanted to let you know I had to bail out on my plans to come up to Bragg since my brother was no where to be found, and I doubt FLTCRW1 would of let me crashed in one of those nice big comfy TF160 hangars http://www.specialoperations.com/ubboard/frown.gif

If anything gets rescheduled, I'll either e-mail you or call you with any 411 to see if we can lock horns at some point.

Right now I need see WTF my web servers are getting FUBAR every single week. Me think its time I switch web hosts.

- Out
