HAPPY NEWS EDIT: http://www.fox23.com/news/sand-springs-army-recruiter-disappears/462887256
Jason was found! I appreciate all the support and I can now retire this account! Back to lurking for funnies I go!
"Please pray for my brother, Jason Sixsmith. He lives in Sand Springs, OK and is in the US Army, working as a recruiter. He has been "missing" for 4 days and our family is very worried. He has not been home (despite having a dog), and his car has not been seen. Please pray also for his daughter, my parents, his father, and the extended family who are all distraught at his disappearance. A missing persons report has been filed with the police. Prayers for his safe return!!"
This is a facebook post by his sister. Jason is one of the most genuinely kind hearted people I had the chance to serve alongside. I wish I could do more but PLEASE help me get the word out and bring this soldier home!
Long time lurker and finally made an account simply to post this, please IMGUR, help us find him!
FP Edit: I thank you all for getting this little information I have out. Currently trying to get a phone number for a contact at the police department the missing persons report was made at as well as a vehicle description.
He is a distance runner and his family has the idea that he went for a run after work Thursday and never made it back. His family was alerted when he failed to show up at all on Friday. So sorry for the lack of information but I'm trying. I am trying but also don't want to be pushy with what his family is going through right now.
My only "FP edit request" would be to share this post or photos with anyone you know in Oklahoma. Thank you all, I've seen IMGUR do plenty of amazing things, hoping for one more.
Edit: Silver Honda Accord ~2009 with running stickers on it. Not much but will continue to update.

I will do the opposite of my name just this time.
catflaps
Oh dang. I'm in OKC and haven't heard anything about it. Hope he turns up.
milofuzz
No one leaves their babies alone.
puddinweasel
Did you call his command? No one goes missing in the Army for four days and a command not investigate. Check with them
JustWantTheWordOut
They have been to his house 4 times last word I received. Another recruiter went and retrieved his dog till further word.
DeadPoetsSobriety
I'm from Sapulpa, just south of Sand Springs. I'll keep an eye out.
JustWantTheWordOut
Thank you sir. If you could inform and locals you know, especially outdoorsy people, it would mean a lot.
isthisthebeginningortheend
Shared to Facebook. I live in Norman.
JustWantTheWordOut
Thank you! The goal is to get his face to as many as possible in OK. Any hikers/trail runners are particularly helpful.
dreaguarmoorray
or you know, make flyers instead
KidCola
Which God would you like me to pray to? The least busy one who is more likely to answer?
JustWantTheWordOut
As a agnostic, I do not care. Getting the word out is my only concern.
rainbowabsolutglass
Why are neckbeards such assholes?

Is his car also missing? Where was he known to run?
JustWantTheWordOut
His car is missing as well. He didn't have family locally, so I doubt I can get trail names. We were stationed in TX together, so 1/2
JustWantTheWordOut
I know nothing of his usual activity in OK.
followthesyllabus
Hey, have you tried putting anything up on USAWTFM? They're good about spreading word.
JustWantTheWordOut
Another battle buddy is currently working that. Hopefully sometime tomorrow that will be up.
followthesyllabus
Good deal. Best of luck.
nerdybluegirl
Have you sent this to WTF Army moments? They will post this on their Facebook page and they do great work at helping military families.
JustWantTheWordOut
Another battle buddy is working on that now. Hopefully tomorrow we can get it up by them. Thanks.
nerdybluegirl
I passed it along to my family, who are spread out all over. I hope he is found.
miniondad
I live in Broken Arrow.... will keep an eye out.
JustWantTheWordOut
Thank you very much! If you know anyone locally and could possibly link them to this. Please do!
Isthe4thtimethecharm
I live in Tulsa and will keep an eye out. Most likely I will be useless to help though.
JustWantTheWordOut
Jason was found! Thank you for your support! He was found being cared for at a Tulsa hospital from the looks of it!
HiImBrickTamland
Same here.
ISupportYourViews
Same here.
JustWantTheWordOut
Anything is helpful. One more set of eyes can't hurt. Thank you!
LiquidPeppermint
Woah. Sand Springs is my home town! Sharing to Facebook. Hope you find him.
JustWantTheWordOut
Thank you. The more local knowledge the better. Hikers and runners will hopefully recognize him.
Andilee
Is he bipolar? I've know of a few who just leave randomly for weeks and never tell a soul.
JustWantTheWordOut
Not to my knowledge. Always was a responsible level headed NCO. I won't pretend people don't have secrets though...
Andilee
Well, I just hope he's found safe and soon!
JustWantTheWordOut
He indeed was! Link posted!
Andilee
Sweet! I'm very glad to hear this!
Nineteenletterslong
We'll send it to the front page.
JustWantTheWordOut
Thankfully you were correct, I appreciate you and all the others for getting this out there.
EngineerZero
At least it will be more useful than praying.
KidCola
No we won't
Nineteenletterslong
Well, guess you are right, there aren't many upvotes.
BeerSeer
Oh yes we will.
JustWantTheWordOut
Thank you! Jason was found and the news article was added!
Nineteenletterslong
Great news, glad they found him, hope he's doing ok.
JustWantTheWordOut
Hope so too. His sister hadn't received much more information than he was found. Hoping for further good news!
JessieJanson
@OP he may have gotten lost after walking off a trail(this happens) #1 should be finding his car if that's missing though. Any place it 1/2
JessieJanson
can go off road and crash and be hidden? sometimes in the woods or down cliffs etc. sometimes people are only 20 feet from the road but 2/3
JessieJanson
well hidden. You should also check for family/work issues. Local guy in florida vanished, never showed up at his store. Took a surprise 3/4
JessieJanson
vacation out of state and told nobody... he only found out later when he left and had cell service that there was a state wide search...
JustWantTheWordOut
This situation is what I am hoping for. His car hasn't been found as of yet and he enjoys the trails. The family situation was good when 1/2
JustWantTheWordOut
We were stationed together but since we both moved states, and he is out of state of family, I can't be positive at this point.
JustWantTheWordOut
I just can't know never having been there. This is a fear of mine knowing that this could be the situation... Really sucks to think about.
SullenMoon
It might help if you describe the car and its plates so people can watch for it.
JustWantTheWordOut
Got the car description. Will update with plate number as I can get it.
JustWantTheWordOut
Right now I've been trying to get in touch with his family, but I don't know any of them personally and I haven't been successful. :(
cheeseriot
You don't know your brothers family personally?
JustWantTheWordOut
Brother as I served beside him in the Army.
cheeseriot
Oh nevermind I understand

@op see comment
JustWantTheWordOut
Thanks. Updated the post last night when as soon as I found out. :)
miniondad
I'm glad he's ok.
JustWantTheWordOut
Grammar and things are dumb.
miniondad
Well I assume he is.... it's not specific as to why he was in the hospital.
JustWantTheWordOut
We are still not sure. We had a battle buddy trying to drive from TX to visit but the hospital won't confirm if he is visitors are 1/2
JustWantTheWordOut
Possible at the time. Concerning, but who knows. Blaming alcohol for my grammar. :/
j0lt78
https://www.facebook.com/jason.sixsmith1 nothing about him being missing on his Facebook page...
HairytheSheep
I set mine so people cant post on my page. You cant prevent them from tagging you, but it still wont show on your page
JustWantTheWordOut
http://imgur.com/X7xErBL I assure I have no reason to lie about this. I assume it has to do with his privacy settings. I am not sure.
j0lt78
Cool, figured I'd make sure. Are the police involved yet? If so, what's their contact info if anyone knows anything?
JustWantTheWordOut
All I know is that a police report was filed from the post. I will get the information and add it as soon as I do.
Onzid
Is that a thing? Do missing persons often update their Facebook pages to let people know they are missing?
Rubberbootninja
Hahaha! I couldn't have said that better.
j0lt78
Uh, no, I'd expect some of their friends to maybe post on their wall asking if they're okay.
FreeHamJobs
Many people hide wall posts so that only their friends (or sometimes only them) can see it. I suspect that's what's going on here.
Onzid
I don't know how Facebook works.
j0lt78
LiquidPoo
Bitch, neither do you.

ryukochan
A Google search doesn't show anything about him being missing...
circlebreaker
randomsnarfle
It depends on whether or not a news site picks up the story or even hears about it. When my dad went missing, searches just led to imgur.
only90skidswillgetthis
In a matter of hours, it will be on Google and probably this image will be #1
JustWantTheWordOut
All I can say is that his family posted it on Facebook and I wanted to get it as far as possible. Posted a screenshot of the Facebook post.
only90skidswillgetthis
Do you know how Google works?
ryukochan
He has a bunch of social media accounts, but no posts referencing him by anyone else/ nothing posted on his pages about him being missing.
only90skidswillgetthis
Facebook is not indexed by Google you shmuck
ryukochan
No, the posts aren't, but from that search I can go look at his account… On Facebook and everywhere else. Do you know how hyperlinks work?
only90skidswillgetthis
No, if he does not have a public profile you wouldn't see anything on his page about him being missing. Just whatever is still set to public
only90skidswillgetthis
How insensitive do you have to be to pull this shit jeez
