Len:

Little boys who never grow up only have their fairy tale dreams, how could
it be different--it is obvious from the get-go that they dream they are
secret agents fighting some secret war. They imagine themselves important
"radio operatives", not ever realizing the gov't has let old, retired,
decrepit men dream they are still vitally important as they have been
warehoused in "amateur service."

No longer can they tell reality from the dream, they are either unable or
unwilling to face the stark reality--it would be too painful... now they
must be left to hide within this dream world, they no longer have the
courage to face the truth... strange, but it probably all started out
with everyone wanting to be nice to them, but it became an evil and
diabolical trap to the demise of their credibility and respectability...

No one takes any joy in such a sorrowful thing...

Steve acts as if status as a lower-ranking Marine is something to be
denigrated.

It is when the Marine obtained that rank on the way DOWN, and then
tries to act as if he was some kind of hero for having got that way.

"Act as if he was some kind of hero?" Didn't see that of Frank
at all.

WE all saw that "some kind of hero" stuff of YOU, Dudly.

Show us some PROOF of having been IN those "seven hostile actions."

Show us some PROOF of having done all that avionics work.

Show us some PROOF of having been that "Assistant NCOIC of MARS."


Every time I see such nonsense, it seems to be from a guy who is
insecure about his own accomplishments.

Gee...How ironic. I was thinking the same about YOU and your
"Somalia" operation...Funny how that came out after Dave had been
talking about his DXpeditions and I had been talking about operating
from Okinawa...

Kinda has that "ME TOO! ME TOO!" ring to it...

Funny, isn't it..?!?!

Not funny at all. YOU are the one insecure.

Tsk, Diplomat Dave went on "DXpeditions" while working for the
State Department in those "DX" embassies? Looked like he was
there in government service, not in any amateur radio junket.

Just exactly WHAT did you do for "operations from Okinawa?"
Did you help save Guam? Establish national security through
contact with MARS? What PROOF do you have of that esteemed
(or steamed) "Assistant NCOIC" position? Can you describe
the MARS station from memory at least? Do you have any friends
(ahem) who can be your references? You've not named a single
one. After 18 years of supposed service you have none?

I've been busting your chops for years to PROVE that your
bootlegging from Somalia WASN'T bootlegging, and you refuse to ante-up
some "proof" of ANY sort of it's legitimacy...Yet here YOU are trying
to "diss" me on military service that can be verified in any of several
PUBLIC files.

Just exactly WHAT are those "PUBLIC files?" How "PUBLIC" are
they? Who can easily access those "PUBLIC files?" Tell us
WHAT those "PUBLIC files" are.

For one thing, Dudly, you are definitely NOT in any JAG nor have
you been. Even if you're just an ex-medical-corpsman in the USN
instead of the USMC, you would have NO knowledge of either USAF
or USA special regulations. Both USA and USAF special regs
cover MARS operations; I've given links to the U.S. Army websites
which have specific ARs and SRs concerning amateur radio
operation. YOU have given squat, dink, nothing but shouting and
hollering of how others are all "bootlegging" or doing dishonest
things...in short, just personal insults to others instead of
showing us any of "your proof." Describe the applicable UCMJ
text saying that amateur radio operations from Somalia is
"bootlegging." Diplomat Dave never showed us any legal cites
that stated armed forces officials cannot allow/disallow
armed forces personnel from doing such things.

We readers are still waiting for YOUR PROOF of claims, brags,
assorted braggadoccio from years back of your bull**** in here.

Tell us specifically just WHERE and WHEN you were IN those
"seven hostile actions." Do so in more detail than the vague
generalities you've posted so far. Surprise us. yawn

What "chops" have you "busted?" So far, only your own
credibility. All you do in regards to "chop busting" is
personal insults of those who challenge you to provide proof.

You have not. You cannot. You are an imposter. Simple as that.
