With the exception of a very few Active Duty personnel assigned to
oversee
the program, every single person in all three branches of MARS are
licensed
Amateur Radio Operators.

I don't believe that Ray Collins is an amateur.

Who cares?

You do. You just said that, "With the exception of a very few Active
Duty personnel assigned to oversee the program, every single person in

Ray is neither Active Duty nor an Amateur Radio Operator. He is
merely the Chief of Air Force MARS.

Then you're one up, after...what...three years of getting your tail caught
under the rockers?

There you go viewing my posts with a jaundiced eye. You've been wrong
more than you've been right. But in either case, you're almost always
extreme.

Enough to completely ignore the fact that 99% of all MARS personnel
are
licensed Amateurs? I hardly think so.

Now you're saying that 1% of all MARS personnel are not amateurs?

Do you NEED a specific number, Brian? I am sure we can come up with one,
and I am sure that no matter what, it will STILL be under 10% regardless...

Great!

First you've gone from none to 1%. Now you're saying that between 1%
and 10% of all MARS personnel are not amateurs?

Do I hear between 10% and 25%?

Going once, going twice...

Can you say, "moving target?"

Islands)

Congratulations. None of it changes the facts about MARS, however.

Correct. And you have your FACTS wrong.

Which ones, Brian?

For starters, this one: "Sorry Hans, MARS IS "Amateur Radio"."

And without Amateur Radio MARS is...what...?!?!

Aha! Another slippery fella who needs to have "IS" defined.

YOUR experience in AMRS, please?

I've never been in AMRS, or even in AMWAY.

Too bad. It was a lot of fun.

I have been in AF MARS at two assignements; base support team at
Andersen AB in 1990-91, and Scott AFB 1993 - 1999. I did sign up for
Army Mars when I arrived in Korea in 1988, but didn't become active
with it.

OK...that takes you up to five years ago. Thanks.

MARS is NOT "Amateur Radio."

Formerly NNN0VVU (CHOP, NNN0MOC/MOF, Assistant Islandwide
Coordinator
for
Okinawa, 1981), AFA1OQ, AAT4SA.

So there....Nyah.....

Steve, K4YZ

Looks like the military wasted a lot of training on you if you cannot
get even the most basic FACT right.

Now just accept it so that Carl doesn't have to come on here spank you
again.

Hardly, Brian.

So...You going to Dayton?

I have a scouting campout the weekend of the Hamvention.

I am sure you do.

Just stay away from me wherever I happen to be.
