Really Most miliatry promotion, indeed most promotions in Government
and private industry is some form of politics.

Spoken like a true gay pagan draftee chemical corps officer, Mark!

Having been promoted six times in the Marines,

Making that same chevron again and again doesn't count.

More deceitfulness, Brain.

Why do you lie so prolifically?

I can tell you
that, at least for Enlisted personnel in that service, politics has
NOTHING to do with it.

Above E-7? Up to E-7 you can get by on decent performance and fitness
reports, awards and decs, and TIS/TIG.

But beyond E-7, you need an O-6+ benefactor.

You mean you need to be a suck-up, don't you, Brain?

Perhaps in the Weather Service of the Blue Crew, but USMC and USN
promotion citeria is very specific.

Bull#### well spun get some people very far indeed Clinton for example.

That's because ALL Clinton was was a politician, so WHAT did you
expect?

Perhaps you'd care to share your expertise in communications.

You really ought to go back to 98 and later and read some of
Markie's stuff, Jim! What a HOOT!

Robber's Son hootiness began on day one and continues to this very day.

You misrepresent the character of a deceased honest man.

Why do you do that, Brain? (Sheesh..now I AM "losing it"...I'm
asking a pathological liar why he's lying...Get me beer, someone!)
