  cut He can't. 
   
   Sure I can. 
   
      No...You can make silly allegations (hence your nick-name of 
  "Silliland") that are just pie-in-the-sky guesses. 
   
       "Proof" would be some document that actually showed my reserve 
  status above and beyond the Delayed Entry period... 
   
       The problem for YOU is that nothing of the sort exists. 
   
  Sure it does -- your own words. 
   
   Your DOD record confirms your service from '74 to '92 (yes, that's 
   only 18 years, not 20 years as you claimed when you wrote, "I spent 20 
   years in the Marine Corps to give people the right to exercise their 
   freedom of choice, and it hurts me to see so many people exercising 
   their choice to be apathetic!"), but it doesn't distinguish between 
   active or reserve. It -does- confirm your MOS as an avionics tech.It 
   -doesn't- indicate that you were in any medical field, in which case 
   you would have been a Navy Corpsman, not a Marine Gunny. 
   
       Uhhhh...Looking for that reg wherein US Marines are not allowedto 
  keep personal pursuits while on active duty... 
   
  If you were on active duty then you would know that moonlighting is 
  -strongly- discouraged. 
  
  so? a lot of things are strongly discouraged, some ilgeal some not 
  some against the regs and some not 
  
      This is but one of Frankie's sillier suggestions...that having a 
 part time job/pursuit is somehow "evidence" of having NOT done the 
 things I claim... 
 
 more evasion Stevie you are ducking the issue as usual 
 
There's no "issue" here, twitless. 
 
Frankie claimed my part time job was "evidence" that I was not an 
active duty Marine. 
 
That was ludicrous on the face of it...However HIS refusal to cite 
even one MCO of the period that said "you can't be an EMT while you're 
in the Marine Corps" pretty well proves MY assertion that he's full of 
your "bovine excrement"... 
 
 if you were presueing something on the side say so, don't go about how 
 moonlighting is discouraged 
 
(1)  I already stated, YEARS AGO, that I worked part time as an EMT 
in an ER... 
 
(2)  I am not the one going on about "moonlighting" being 
"discouraged"...That's in your's and Frankie's ballpark!  I already 
stated that I complied with Group Orders for off duty employment. 
 
 deal with the issue 
 
I did. 
 
 but then you can't deal with issues it seems 
 
Sure I did. 
 
  I know it is legal to "moonlight" in the army it take a slain forest 
  of paperwork to do but so does almost evrything in the army 
 
Right there you admit that moonlighting is acceptable, then I went 
on to say....: 
     Not so in the Marine Corps.  I had to sign a statement that stated 
 my USMC duties must never be compromised, and I was given a very short 
 list of "no no's" for part time work...Law enforcement, any "job" which 
 was in conravention to any local, state or federal law, and partisan 
 politics wherein my status as a member of the Armed Forces may lend the 
 appearence of that branch having any preference for any political party 
 or candidate. 
 
Issue "dealt with". 
 
 admitng that Franks is correct in his base charge 
 
"admitting"  "Frank" 
 
No, I did nothing of the sort. 
 
Frankie claimed that by having "admitted" to being an EMT I was 
somehow "proving" that I was "only" a reservist.  Nothing of the sort 
is even remotely factual. 
 
 BTW so much for strongly discouraged 
 
It was NOT "strongly discouraged" when I was on active duty, except, 
as previously noted, where it conflicted with official duties. 
 
I already addressed that. 
 
      Took all of a day to walk the chit (A Naval term for a "permission 
 slip...Not an abbreviation for excrement) through.  No big deal. 
  
   In some units it's even prohibited by the 
  commanding officer because the responsibilities of an outside job 
  usually conflict with the responsibilities of the unit. But you didn't 
  know that because you were never active duty; i.e, more proof from 
  your own ignorant words. 
   
      And you make reference as to what my "DOD" (properly DoD) record 
  states per my MOS's, but you and I BOTH know that that same record 
  shows nothing but active duty service (Delayed Entry 
  notwithstanding...) 
   
  Maybe you don't know -- your DOD (or DoD if you like) record doesn't 
  specify. I mentioned that befo ".....but it doesn't distinguish 
  between active or reserve." The reason is because military members 
  frequently change from active to active reserve, to inactive reserve, 
  to retired (in your dreams), etc, etc. The record states your total 
  time, not how it was served. 
  
  breaking out for coment 
  
   And BTW, your time in the delayed 
  enlistment program isn't considered active -or- reserve (active -or- 
  inactive). Read your contract if you don't believe me. 
  
  Frank dudly does not bother with facts you know that 
  
      Your buddy Frankie is the one short on facts here, Markie... 
 
 nope 
 
Yep. 
 
Like his "facts" about how my working part time as an ER tech 
"proved" that I was "only" a reservist. 
 
      For two days now he's been insinuating that having a part time job 
 is "evidence" that I was not on active duty and was "nothing more" than 
 a reservist. 
 
 it is eveidence, not convincing in and off itself I agree but it is 
 eveidence when combined with your erros in equipment and such it 
 starts to add up 
 
"evidence"  "of"  "evidence [again]"  "errors" 
 
No, it's nothing of the kind. 
 
And what "equipment" errors? 
 
You and Toiddie are the only one in this forum with "equipment 
errors". 
 
      How assinine. 
  
   But this conflicts with your 1998 claim that you were a "former 10 
   year+ EMT", which would make you an EMT -prior- to 1988, more than 
   four years -before- you "retired" from the Corps. 
   
      Uh huh.  Six, actually. 
   
      Thee are a LOT of Marines who are EMT's...Both as Crash-Rescue 
  personnel on MCAS's and as "off duty" pursuits. 
   
       My first EMT card was in Pennsylvania in February 1986.  PA 
  EMT-MAST 014402. 
   
  cuting to move on to rest of Stevie #### 
  
      "cutting" 
  
     Ahhhhhhhh...So providing even MORE references is #### now, eh, 
 Markie??? 
 
 no but all you were proiving to that point was #### so it is 
 reasonable to assume the rest was #### 
 
"proving" 
 
It was nothing of the kind. 
 
And you broke your own "don't assume" rule...And it bit you. 
 
     Seems you don't LIKE facts, now do you...?!?! 
 
 wrong again 
 
 I just wish you proivde som 
 
"provide"  "some" 
 
I have. 
 
And as I have said before...Just because you can't/won't acccept 
them does not negate them as such. 
 
Steve, K4YZ
