when his tour was over and the children’s mother would not go with him or allow him to take the children stateside. He tried for years to gain custody of his daughter and son but to no avail. “By the time I was able to make arrangements to go back for the children and fight for custody, she had adopted them out and would not give me any information regarding their whereabouts,” Thomas said in a Facebook post, which now has been shared more than 1.2 million times. What little information Thomas has about his children he posted online. The twins are fraternal - a boy and a girl - born Sept. 10, 1967, at Songnim Gynaecology in Seoul. Their mother’s name was Sun Kun Thomas, he said.I am hoping to get to the Alberta shoot, more just to meet up with like minded people, and see how the shoot is run. I was a Skill at Arms, Marksman, Fibua (Fighting in built up areas) Or Obua (Operations in built up areas) or as we called it FISH (Fighting in some FU**ers House), Dismounted Close Combat, Pistol and Rifle Marksman instructor to name but a few, as well as running my Coy shooting team. I need to get to grips more with these older weapons before I enter any shooting comps. Even though I have been shooting all my life and have over 15 rifles that are not my military firearms I still get get a bit shy, now hey stop giggling in the back. Probably with that background if I dont shoot well I feel like a pratt.lol. Also just got round to reloading for the Martini and not shot it yet as the prairies get a tad chilly in the winter, plus the fact never let your 13 year old son, who normally does a great job when helping me reload, help you with expensive brass. He crapped up a load or brass, 27 to be precise by creasing the shoulders when flaring them. So if you need a good moving target for the shoot i can supply one. I must admit I personally never really got much grief being a "Monkey". Few incidents with drunken squaddies, but no different than CivPol suffer every weekend. Worst was probably an officer from a Sigs Regt in Iraq in 2003. We were in there bar near the end of our tour, which had just been opened up. We were in civvies so not on duty and he told us to leave as RMP wernt welcome in his Regt bar. So as it was a two can rule I asked for a list of all the people in the bar and how many cans they had, he could not produce said list so I shut the bar down. This happened again the next night so same result from me. Then upped the anti and had all his vehiles stopped leaving the camp and had 100% check of work tickets, equipment, ammo etc. Charges were laid and reports handed up the COC. I was never a di*khead ever in my RMP career except that time. We were doing no harm in his bar, wern't out to job anybody just wanted down time like every one else did. It was a hard tour for me as lost 6 mates at Majhar Al Kabir, and another 3 in Bashra. So we were just bidding our time till Crab Air could get us home. My Dad, who was a career soldier as well, gave me one bit of advice when I signed up. Never, ever p*ss of Pay Clerks, Cooks or RMP.
