Two promotions in 15 years as a staff NCO, selected by cutting scores that were never used, and granted with promotion certificates you can't read. Yeah, you sure made your case, Dudly. Hey screwball... Huh??? Is RE-4YZ calling someone else a nut? Hi! WHERE did I say SNCO ranks were selected by cutting scores...?!?! SNCO's never were... Then you should have corrected it the first time Frank called you on it. Instead you go through this, "no they weren't, yes they were, no they weren't,..." nonsense that you're so famous for. You're just not believable. But LPCL through Sergeant were! PFC was almost automatic unless you picked your nose in morning formation. "no they weren't, yes they were, no they weren't,..." You're such an idiot. Steve, K4YZ Hi! One of the distinctions of the USMC, and something they pride themselves on, is that they don't use the same type of promotion system as the other services. No tests, no "cutting scores", etc. Promotions are -earned-, not handed out like pay raises. If you do above-average work and you get promoted more quickly than the average. Perform poorly and you don't get promoted at all. That's the way it is and that's the way it's always been. There's always favoritism (or unfavoritism) in such a system. Probably how your light duty chit got tossed in a drawer. The promotion system used for E5-E7 enlisted in the Air Force, the Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS) includes points for performance reports, military knowledge texts, skill knowledge tests, awards and decorations, time in service, and time in grade. The "supergrades" of E-8 and E-9 include a board, and aything less than a General level endorsement usually means that you are out of the running. Back to E5-E7. A disagreeable supervisor and/or commander can affect your performance report points and your decoration points (new decorations only). But an individual can overcome those through better military and job knowledge. Or they can allow TIG and TIS to overcome, but who's got time for that? There is another promotion means outside of WAPS that is meant to correct for an individual who has been passed over, usually for an inability to do well on tests, but is an exceptional performer otherwise. These promotions are rare, and occur at the commander's discretion. Oh yeah, and Marines always refer to their rank, not their pay-grade. If you hear a "Marine" say he was an E-7 then he wasn't a Marine. That has been true for all the marines that I've known have (except the imposter). Then I have to go to the look-up table and figure out what they really are. ;^) |

You want a name try Steve J Robeson Do your own homework. My homework? You made mention of something but you don't care to be specific. The matter remains unsubstantiated by you. best of luck. |

Discussion of moderating a newsgroup is not a forbidden subject. I remember well when Leneoard was all upset that some regular poster here decided to meet on 40m CW. Len probably considered his right of free speech to be violated in that instance. Of course he was wrong. The fact is that your claim that Jim Miccolis prevented Len from posting here is utter nonsense. You're becoming well known for nonsense. Dave K8MN The fact is that there are two sides to every story, and you clowns think you own both. You don't. Get used to it. |

There's truth that the four morsemen have tried through intimidation, personal attacks, and talk of moderating the group and excluding non-amateurs. By all appearances, the "Four Morsemen of the Apocalypse" want to exclude all but PCTAs in this newsgroup. They do so with charges of "stupidity" and "errors" and some uncivil remarks including labels of "piranha" and "Foghorn Lenhorn" and "little electrolytic acolyte" and other endearing terms. Then they get upset by others calling them names. The PCTA extra Double Standard is always invoked in their postings. Case in point is James Miccolis constant statement of "that's just plain wrong" in regards to others' opinions...as if he were the sole judge of what is right and wrong. Then there is his (macro) paragraph of denunciation of my postings with uncivil terms in it, repeated and repeated on his whim. By the way, tell us who was discussing moderating and closing the newsgroup to non-hams and for what purpose. Do your own homework. My homework? You made mention of something but you don't care to be specific. The matter remains unsubstantiated by you. best of luck. Heil forgets that I've openly SUGGESTED to the PCTA to get their own MODERATED newsgroup. That way they can be assured of proper Group Think and not be bothered by opposing opinions from non-PCTA folk. This newsgroup is UNmoderated and that is how most feel it should be. But...Heil is easily upset and so he must VENT in here. Lacking valid arguments on SUBJECTS he attempts personal attack by constant reference to non-licensed amateurs' postings as if those were "not allowed." Heil acts the bigot on newsgroup participation. Heil (who claims to be a linguist of Hunnish) forgot, in another post, that the fictious name of "Dudley" was used by author Earnest K. Gann in his book, "Fate Is The Hunter." [my mention in here] Frank Gilliland and I used another fictitious name of "Dudly" in reference to another, a military pretender in here. There was no misspelling of "Dudley" at all, just the use of "Dudly" to differentiate from Gann's original name use. A shortened form of "Dudly" is "Dud" which also fits that other, the pretender. |

Dave K8MN You *should* work on your audio, supposed "well known DX-er." For example, when you checked into that 3.865 net, it sounded like crap. Must be the cheap radios on your end. I guess you're anonymous on the net as well as usenet. Maybe you'll figure out a way to use two anonymous callsigns to disguise yourself. Take your medications, Roger. Get plenty of sleep. Tell the doctor if the voices begin talking to you again. Dave K8MN |
