I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.

Seriously, some people just blow my mind.

I posted on a few of the many groups I am apart of on Facebook that are resources for military wives/fiances/girlfriends on the island. I asked if anyone knew whether or not military can travel to Jamaica because a friend was wondering. Her and her fiance want to go there for their honeymoon. They had originally chosen Cancun, Mexico, but that is 100% off limits for military right now.

In case you didn't know, any place that is listed on the US Consulate Travel Advisories list is off limits for military. This list is the places that the US advise you NOT to travel unless on military business, because they are not safe for Americans to be at.

Therefore, if you are just going there for shits and giggles, you are not allowed to go there!!

But really, who would want to go anywhere in Mexico right now?! A few girls I knew went to a resort in Acapulco for Spring Break last year and a few days after they arrive there were beheadings. Thats right, HEADS of people showed up on resort property one morning. No where is safe in Mexico with all the drug wars going on!

Anyways, a few people commented, somewhat rudely, asking where I got my information from because "a few of my friends just went and I know a few others that are planning on going! I've never heard that before." And then a few other people "liked" comments wondering where my info came from because they obviously don't feel as if I provide valid information. I knew if I kept on saying anything that these women would start a Facebook fight. AND GO ALL CAP LOCKS ON MY ASS. So I just said forget it.

But really, why don't you do some research for yourself? If you don't like what someone says, or you don't believe that their information is valid, GO LOOK IT UP YOURSELF!!!!

I'd like to introduce you to this fabulous thing called a search engine. You might be familiar with a few. Some common ones are: Google, Yahoo!, and Bing.

USE THEM.

LOOK THINGS UP.

FIND OUT THINGS FOR YOURSELF......!!!!

Okay, sorry. But really. If you don't like what someone has to say, then fine. But you don't need to be rude because you don't agree with someone. If you don't think that something is right that I have done research about, then fine! Prove me wrong and I would happily back down.

Also, in case anyone was wondering, the information that I found came directly from travel.state.gov which is clearly a reliable source for information. I also know they were told by a higher up that they can't go to Cancun and I've been told by someone else that her husband's Commanding Officer told them that they can't go to Cancun.

So far so good on Jamaica, though.
