I'm beginning to understand how you came to make PFC over and over.
According to a CBer named Frank Gilliland, Steve was not a Marine and is
probably not a radio amateur. I see. *guffaw*


No, I don't think you see at all; I'm saying that the person in this
newsgroup posting as N4YZ is not Gunnery Sergeant Steven J. Robeson,
USMC Retired.

No one here IS posting as N4YZ, Fankie.

As far as I know it's you posting as K4YZ (seeing as how
you two tend to post at almost the same time of day).

You're posting a the same time too, Frankie...

Maybe YOU are Dave, K8MN AND K4YZ...?!?!

I let them know that a person in here is claiming to be a retired USMC
gunny but is most likely an imposter, if that's what you mean. If they
choose to act on it that's up to them.

You let them know? Really? I have trouble believing you, Frank.

I really don't care what you believe, Dave.

You're responding to his posts...Obviously you DO care.

Sure, Frank. I understood what you wrote. I just can't accept it as
fact. My DD-214 (you know, the full-sized one which I don't carry
around with me), issued in 1972 says nothing about transfers.

You may have some new information. What's the title and edition date
of -your- DD-214?

I imagine YOUR "information" is only as current as the last Clancy
novel you read.

It is the
only DD-214 issued to me in four years of service. I had three
transfers while in the Air Force. None were on a DD-214. Go figure.

Interesting indeed.

What's interesting about it?

I carry around a credit-card-size reduction of my DD-214 for fun,
have used it as local proof (needs a magnifying glass to see the
detail). Once got into a conversation with a Vietvet at a party
who had gotten a similar laminated reduction...he got out in '74...
we compared forms and they seemed to be very nearly identical.



Hey, that's a neat idea! I gotta do that, keep it right next to my
Blue Nose card.

What kind of guy carries a copy of his DD-214 around with him?

What kind of Marine lets someone else fight his battles?

You answer my question, I'll answer yours.

Grow up.

Well HEAVEN FORBID that you'd actually answer a question instead of
trying to fan flamewars that you are only Johnny-come-lately too,
Frankie!

Steve, K4YZ
