Gotta take some serious "cajones" to ENLIST voluntarily...or
even accept a draft notice (which Jimmie never did).

Did you ever "accept a draft notice", Len?

Couldn't. Was already IN the U.S. Army. The Army Serial
Number I was given had the prefix "RA" on it...that denoted
a VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENT. Those who got draft notices and
went in that way got the "US" prefix.

What was YOUR prefix, Jimmie?

Oh, that's right, I almost forgot that the Army switched
from ASNs to the Social Security Number in 1969. Tsk, tsk,
YOU could NEVER have an ASN!

Jimmie "knows" all about parachute jumping in the military.

I don't claim to know all about it. Just some things.

You are way too modest. You've read about so many things.

You ever do any parachute jumps, Len?

One.

For personal experience. Wasn't a requirement in radio.

Maybe it's a new requirement in AMATEUR radio now? [I must
check with the FCC more often...they "revise the amateur
regulations so often" and everyone knows (in here) that
amateur radio is "a vital important service to the nation"
as I've been told by others]

No, parachute jumping is NOT a requirement for amateur
radio. Last change to U.S. amateur radio regulations was
in 2002...something about amateur antennas...

How many Jumps have YOU made, Jimmie? [other than through
those hoops]

Does everyone have to Jump when you command, Jimmie?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...More LennieDoubleStandard going on
here...Lennie LOVES to chastise Amateurs over alleged "I've got mine
but you'll never have it" claims...

Yet THERE HE IS doing it point blank himself...

Jimmie "knows" all about parachute jumping in the military.

I don't claim to know all about it. Just some things.

You are way too modest. You've read about so many things.

As have YOU, Lennie...

For example you've read a lot about Amateur Radio.

You've never DONE Amateur radio...but you've read about it.

You ever do any parachute jumps, Len?

One.

I told you guys...

He was the "big jerk" at the end of the opening shock.

For personal experience. Wasn't a requirement in radio.

Uh huh...yeah...right...OK...sure...(yeeeeeeeeeaaawn)

Maybe it's a new requirement in AMATEUR radio now? [I must

As we have ALL been told by several federal agencies and private
benevolent organizations that make that claim, Lennie...

Are you now calling those agencies liars too?

No, parachute jumping is NOT a requirement for amateur
radio. Last change to U.S. amateur radio regulations was

Couldn't.

So the answer is no.

Was already IN the U.S. Army.

At age 20. In my time, they were drafting 19 year olds.

What was YOUR prefix, Jimmie?

What does it matter, Len?

Jimmie "knows" all about parachute jumping in the military.

I don't claim to know all about it. Just some things.

You are way too modest. You've read about so many things.

Just like you, Len.

You ever do any parachute jumps, Len?

One.

For personal experience. Wasn't a requirement in radio.

Was it in the military? Was it from an airplane?

Maybe it's a new requirement in AMATEUR radio now? [I must
check with the FCC more often...they "revise the amateur

You've never met the requirements for any amateur license, Len,
and some of your interpretations of Part 97 have been shown to
be in error.

How many Jumps have YOU made, Jimmie?

What does it matter, Len?

Suppose I had 100 parachute jumps on record - would you behave
any differently towards me?

I don't think so.

I see how you behave towards those with more service time than
you - with more experience than you - with more education than
you. Doesn't matter what their qualifications are, if they
disagree with you, they are treated to your classic jackass behavior.

Please note that I described your *behavior*, Len, not you. I have
not called anyone on usenet a jackass. Certainly not you, because I
don't think you're a jackass.

If I were to call someone a jackass, it could be an insult to
jackasses everywhere. Also, if a person really *is* a jackass,
then they can hardly be blamed for *behaving* like a jackass.

But if a person is *not* a jackass, yet exhibits jackass
behavior, they have only themselves to blame.
