even accept a draft notice (which Jimmie never did).

Did you ever "accept a draft notice", Len?

Couldn't. Was already IN the U.S. Army. The Army Serial
Number I was given had the prefix "RA" on it...that denoted
a VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENT. Those who got draft notices and
went in that way got the "US" prefix.

What was YOUR prefix, Jimmie?

Oh, that's right, I almost forgot that the Army switched
from ASNs to the Social Security Number in 1969. Tsk, tsk,
YOU could NEVER have an ASN!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...More LennieDoubleStandard going on
here...Lennie LOVES to chastise Amateurs over alleged "I've got mine
but you'll never have it" claims...

Yet THERE HE IS doing it point blank himself...

Jimmie "knows" all about parachute jumping in the military.

I don't claim to know all about it. Just some things.

You are way too modest. You've read about so many things.

As have YOU, Lennie...

For example you've read a lot about Amateur Radio.

You've never DONE Amateur radio...but you've read about it.

You ever do any parachute jumps, Len?

One.

I told you guys...

He was the "big jerk" at the end of the opening shock.

For personal experience. Wasn't a requirement in radio.

Uh huh...yeah...right...OK...sure...(yeeeeeeeeeaaawn)

Maybe it's a new requirement in AMATEUR radio now? [I must
check with the FCC more often...they "revise the amateur
regulations so often" and everyone knows (in here) that
amateur radio is "a vital important service to the nation"
as I've been told by others]

As we have ALL been told by several federal agencies and private
benevolent organizations that make that claim, Lennie...

Are you now calling those agencies liars too?

No, parachute jumping is NOT a requirement for amateur
radio. Last change to U.S. amateur radio regulations was
in 2002...something about amateur antennas...

How many Jumps have YOU made, Jimmie? [other than through
those hoops]

Does everyone have to Jump when you command, Jimmie?

Putz.
