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.

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.

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 |

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. Followed up by EMT-1A in Orange County CA in June of 1986. I also held National Registry (took that test at the hospital at MCB Camp Pendleton) It has/had nothing to do with my MOS...Just what I was interested in doing. BTW...I received a CG's Certificate of Commendation in 1988 for life-saving from CG Third MAW, then another one from the CG First MAW in 1990 for a second event... That EMT training came in handy! Also, in the late '80s, (before moving to Arkansas, home state of your second wife and your state of residence when you allegedly "retired" from the Corps in 1992), you worked in California as an ER tech at "Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach, CA", which would be virtually impossible if you were also on active duty as an avionics tech. Uh....No...Why would having a part time job less than 10 miles from the base where I was stationed at (and 1.5 miles from where I lived...) be a problem? Are all those Marines who work part-time jobs in Jacksonville, Oceanside, San Diego and other USMC-base associated cities doing something illegal? Is working part time as an ER tech any different than working at Taco Bell, singing in a church choir or participating in the Big Brothers/Sisters programs...?!?! The ONLY way you could have been educated, trained and gained experience as an EMT while in the Corps is if you were a reservist. How is that? Did I violate some MCO in my 18 years by leaving the barracks and participating in non-USMC pursuits? "Leatherneck" used to publish ton's of "human interest" stories on Marines who did exactly those things.... Is it YOUR contention that all of those Marines were NOT "real Marines" because they did something that wasn't associated with their official duties? All this information is publically available from what -you- have written on Usenet. Of course, you can always use that "my account was hacked" excuse, but that doesn't explain why you claimed to be in the Air Force Auxilliary, a retired Marine Gunny, and signed your posts with "Semper Paratus" (Coast Guard motto). Uh...Actually I use "Paratus et Vigilans", a personal motto which means "Prepared and Vigilant". Did I miss some law that says once someone uses a latin word in THEIR motto, no one else can use it...?!?! Nor does it explain your interest in pirate radio, star gazing, or your hunt for ET. Clearly you are one very confused individual, Dudly. And as more than one person has previously noted, you are clearly a paramilitary-wannabe and a hero-wannabe. I see you harbor the same "hate anyone who does more than I do" sentiments that Lennie and Brain do... Of course you managed to screw up the one paid "uniformed" job you held, so I guess no one should expect you to be involved in any kind of "uniformed" volunteer work, huh...?!?! There's plenty more information that is publically available about you, but I think I made my case -- using -YOUR OWN WORDS-!!! So far, you've not "proven" a single thing. Unless you can show me where NO OTHER MARINE EVER worked a part time job, went to school off duty, followed "personal" pursuits that were not part-and-parcel of thier USMC duties...?!?! Geeze, Frankie...That was a loooooooooooooooooooooooong stretch, want' it...?!?! BTW, what happened to your first marraige? Were you lying when you took those vows before God? "marriage" I didn't tell you? He also dodges following up on all of the references I have posted. See above. I see you trying to stretch some things real far, none of it causing even "collateral damage". That's because in doing so he'd have to eat crow...A LOT of crow. Although for Stevie to be Carrer Resvist? National gaurd would make a lot of his #### make more sense now you bring it up but do you have more than that He has NOTHING, Mark...No "evidence", no facts, no justification, nothing. Wrong. I have your own words and some basic math skills. Then it seems you also have some comprehension issues and need a calculator. That's all I need to prove that you are a liar. Uhhhhh....How's that? So far all your "math" has proven is that while I was on active duty I ALSO had non-USMC pursuits. What part of MCO's were therein violated? Other than during Typhoon Condition 1A on Okinawa, I never spent one minute on Barracks Restriction, and even then THAT was "island wide". Frankie...You should try out for the part of the guy in the comic book "Fantastic Four" that can stretch like Silly-Putty, because you sure earned the opportunity here today! Lastly...The Marine Corps, as do all the services, heavily recruit and covet their various Reserve assets...The USMC in particular requires the same degree of qualifications of their Reservists as they do their active duty components. This is not something I made up, but a matter of public record and USMC policy. I should know...I helped train Reservists at various times. So...that having been said, even if I HAD been a Reservist, I would have had to meet the same standards as the Active Duty forces... And considering those same Reserve (and National Guard) forces are carrying the same load as their active duty counterparts in Iraq right now, your "suggestion" that I may have been a Reservist as a negativism is ludicrous and assinine. I'd imagine that Frank and Leonard are feeling rather stupid about now. Dave K8MN |

So you never got caught doing anything wrong. Hooray for you. Something to be proud of, I suppose. However, I have a slightly different value system. I don't rest my laurels on never having done anything wrong (which I don't think anyone can honesty claim). Instead, I list my accomplishments by the challenges I have faced and overcome, whether they were caused by my own actions or by circumstances beyond my control. And believe me, I have done both. Dudly said it himself: It's easy to get through the military without so much as an Article 15 -- just follow orders. Now that's fine for a reservist, where the orders given aren't much of a challenge. It's easy to blindly follow orders. But that isn't always the case on active duty. Maybe you forgot Abu Graib, or that incident where the soldiers refused to make an unnecessary supply run without sufficient armor..... or even the Iran-Contra scandal. When the orders are wrong or illegal, as happens from time to time, it's -not- easy to do the -right- thing and challenge authority. I consider that to be one of my accomplishments. I also consider it an accomplishment to have fulfilled my military obligation after two courts-martial and the constant denigration from others that resulted from them, a tactic that Dudly is trying to use. What Dudly doesn't realize is that he can say nothing that I haven't heard before and overcome. I proved them wrong and I'm proud of that fact. So when Dudly (and now yourself) try to use the same demeaning tactics I can only laugh. Dave, I have no beef with you. I didn't feel it necessary to give you -any- sort of explanation but I did anyway. If it wasn't enough, or if you can't understand it, tough ****. But do you really feel the need to defend Dudly -- a retired Marine Gunny, a CAP Major, a TN State Guardsman, and a veteran of seven hostile actions -- against me, a ****bird PFC? If you do then you are only hurting Dudly's case, not helping it. If you are going to stick up for Dudly, fine. As far as I'm concerned, you two love-birds can row your boat out into the wash together and do whatever it is that makes you two happy. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

If you do then you are only hurting Dudly's case, not helping it. If you are going to stick up for Dudly, fine. As far as I'm concerned, you two love-birds can row your boat out into the wash together and do whatever it is that makes you two happy. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 140,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |
