Obviously, the "physical rehab" wasn't complete. A DD-214 is NOT an
honorable discharge...it is just a Release from active duty.

Yep. And when I was released, I was given one.

Which was it, a DD-214 or an "honorable discharge?"

I'll get another one in September of this year.

When did you "re-enlist?"

One service period = one discharge. Not two.

Sorry, Lennie.

Things changed since you were in uniform. Not in YOUR mind, of course,
but the rest of the world moved on.

Nursie is still trying to bluff and bluster his way through an "argument."

:-)

DD-214s are still only a Release from Active Duty.

Military service discharges are a different form.

And September of 2004 will be 30 years since I first went on Active Duty.

That's when you are eligible for full retirement. Up until then you are in
the
"Fleet Marine Reserve"

I'm not in any Fleet Marine Reserve. Never was. :-)

Nobody really cares how long you were some kind of murine hero
in the service of your country (or other self-defined patriotic crapola).

You never engaged in any military radio communications while in
the murines. You don't know the systems, you don't know the
procedures, you can't identify familiar pieces of equipment which
all real military communications people would know.

You can have a discharge any time you want. Some folks call
that "physical abuse."

The last "discharge" I had was 25 years ago, and kinda looked like you
do now.

A shot of Penicillin took care of it, though.

Not quite. There is public evidence that your mind was affected.

All military activities are governed by directives and regulations.
MARS exists because a DoD Directive says it does. [not by the
FCC and not by the ARRL]

The "M" in MARS = MILITARY

The "A" in MARS = AFFILIATE

MARS is NOT amateur radio.

If you're gonna presume to demonstrate knowledge of administrative
proceeses of the Armed Forces, Lennie, ya need to spend some more time
learning about them. Then you can plagerize those sites too.

Apparently there's a gross lack of your understanding of military
procedure. For example, the Department of Defense (they are in
charge of ALL U.S. militaries) issued a Directive describing and
establishing MARS.

The "M" in MARS = MILITARY

The "A" in MARS = AFFILIATE

MARS is NOT amateur radio.

No Amateur Radio = No MARS.

Incorrect in the real world. The MILITARY AFFILIATE Radio System
is NOT amateur radio.

Bluster, bluff, and bombast will not dissuade anyone and it certainly
doesn't override any Department of Defense Directorate.

MARS is as MARS is directed and regulated. It is NOT amateur
radio.

Nursie, get some mental therapy. You need it.

Uh huh...right.

Agreement that you DO have a problem is an optimistic sign.

The next step is to act on that realization. Good luck on that.
