Subject: MARS IS "Amateur Radio".
From: (Len Over 21) Date: 5/30/2004 11:58 AM Central Standard Time Message-id: In article , (Steve Robeson K4CAP) writes: Withdrawl of Amatuer assets would result in an overall loss that would cripple the program. Without those participants there'd be nothing to be "affiliated" with. MARS never worked with "amatuer assets." BBBWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! ! ! ! ! So, Lennie...Those thousands of persons who have membership in the various branch progrmas are NOT an ASSET to those programs...?!?! WHAT AN IDIOT ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! You've never read DoD Directive 4650.2 (21 Nov 03) have you? You've never been a member of those programs and have PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE in what makes them tick, have you...?!?!? MARS was never created, implemented, or directed to be a PART of regular military tactical or strategic communications. It was created - essentially - for morale and public relations activities, a link between civilians and military. Over the years the role of MARS has shifted from the morale and PR aspect to being a "go-between" between established military communications and government emergency and aid agencies. OK...SO you AGREE with what I've been saying all along then! No Amatuer Radio = No MARS. Again, MARS never worked with "amatuer radio." And again, your ignorance is showing! Your original assertion was (see thread title) "MARS is amateur radio." That original assertion is WRONG. That you cannot think in the abstract is flamingly obvious! MARS is (obviously) MILITARY. A "military" program that DEPENDS upon licnesed Amateurs to run. MARS was originally created BY the military. It exists today on its own as organic with the military structure and can function by itself. The 2002 exercise of Grecian Firebolt over four weeks back two years ago proved that. You try to backpedal by changing your assertion that "No amateur radio = no MARS." That too is WRONG. MARS hasn't had the word "amateur" in its acronym since 1948. Doesn't matter. In order to accomplish it's tasked goals, MARS needs those lincesed Amateurs in order to function. The FCC didn't create MARS nor does it regulate it. Department of Defense authorizes MARS (see Directive 4650.2). Why do you keep trying to make an issue of this, Lennie? I've never mentioned the FCC in any of these exchanges? It really is THAT simple. Yes, what I've explained IS simple...but you REFUSE to accept reality outside your imagination. Twice, really, first in the original assertion and then in the revised form, both of which are incorrect. You stubbornly insist you are right, almost in outrage (once again misspelling "amateur" twice, as done in previous postings). You've only quoted from published manuals and directives. It still does not accurately reflect the true character of the MARS programs. There's nothing INaccurate in what you've QUOTED when you've quoted it, it's just that YOU refuse to accept that CURRENT MARS PRACTICE AND NEEDS are DEPENDENT upon LICENSED RADIO AMATEURS to fulfill. That's a sign of a disordered mind (along with refusal to accept reality and constant displayed sociopathy). Get mental help. What YOU have demonstrated is that YOU are trying to express an opinion based upon purely theoretical or stricty "by the book" definitions and DO NOT understand the actual functionings of ANY of the programs. I again ask you how many MARSGRAMS have YOU processed? How many phonepatches for AFLOAT units have you ran? How's that Navy-Marine Corps MARS application going? Please, Lennie...show us what PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE you have in ANY MARS program....Of course you can always regale us with your exploits of 63 years ago... Steve, K4YZ |
