So, how is this news????

That would have been a fucked up call for the parents to receive. Luckily their son ended up being safe.

Good thing this wasn't to his kid in school, or it'd be detention for sure.

I used to have such a F**k*d up cell phone. It had no cover, and when I crammed it into my back pocked with my wallet, it invariable dialed some of the pfolks in my address book and they heard everything going on around me, while I had no clue that I was broadcasting to colleagues, ex-girlfriends, my family members, or folks who worked for me.

Very embarrassing when an ex accused me of trying to harass her, and when one of the guys who worked for me complained that I kept calling him at all hours. Bet it was something like this situation.

the trackwheel on my old Blackberry was so worn it wouldnt stay locked. On Xmas eve it called a friend of mine right at the end of church during Silent Night..

Sad thing is both of his parents died in the last few years and he was alone..

But it did give him a positive note before he went to bed.

Also, one night while playing a gig it called my wife while I was talking to a bandmates girlfriend. That was a sticky one to explain.

First thing I thought was: how the hell do they have such great cell phone service in Shitcreekostan, but if I'm on secondary roads in Lousiana or Indiana, I get no coverage at all?

Poor parents, that had to be rough until they spoke to their son.

My Roshan phone in afghanistan worked even when the DSN network of the military didnt. Half the time the AT&T network was out at the MWR, I would have to use my phone I bought from an afghan..

That was a fucked up thing to do. Either he dislikes his parents and wanted to worry them, or he was doing a Rudy G cell phone stunt and grandstanding.

Personally, I don't think he should have a fucking cell phone while deployed. Security reasons alone should dictate that.

What the fuck?

I'm with you on that.

"Can you hear me, Mom? Can you hear me now?"

Isn't this idiot suppose to have both hands on his gun during a firefight or is he shooting
Rambo-style with his gun slung on his hip and using his other hand to talk on his cell phone?
