No, I just think you don't belong here, whoever you really are. I
will remind you from time to time of that fact. Leave or learn to
deal with it.



Gee. What's next, are you going to smack the palms of her hands with a
ruler? She really seems to get under your skin, *Sir* Wayne. What about
all the obviously non-boating folks on your side of the political aisle?
You don't seem willing to "remind" them of anything.

Your hypocrisy is showing in neon colors.

He's had plenty of opportunities to be even-handed about OT posts. I
think he's incapable. That was the point of my OT topic, but he seems
too dense to get it.



W'hine is a horse's ass who thinks he is the arbiter of what "proper"
for posting. He posts off-topic, he makes "snarky" remarks about other
posters, he's a corporatism fanboy. Lately, he's been coming across as
the older brother of Scott Ingersoll.

In that case, he'd long have perished in a concentration camp.

Hey fella. Cherish that plastic metro card if that's all you have to

You, herring and flajim have nothing in common with the brave soldiers
of WW II.

Hell, you never even left the country, and herring and flajim's service
did nothing more than prop up a corrupt right-wing dictatorship in Vietnam.

I'd like to hear about the highlights of your service to the country.
Doesn't have to be military. Did you volunteer in any capacity?

"Send me the graybeards," I recall him saying, "I want guys who know how

When it is critical, seniority counts.

Seniority in a union just means you have managed to stick around for a
long time. It says nothing about the quality of your work or your
competency.




Seniority in the marines just means you re-enlisted.

Seniority in the military means you have been around and done quite a
lot of things. For officers if you make O-6 before 18 years in you are
on the fast track. If you haven't made it by 22 years you are just
marking time before you retire.

In the military seniority means you have been exposed to quite a bit of
stuff. My cousin is finally getting a battalion. He has been at NATO for
the last 18 months and he has been in Afghanistan for two tours and Iraq
for two tours. He is well on his way to O-6 and beyond.

Don't forget about enlisted time for us draftees!!



One of my favorite Marine officers was an E-6 and was offered E-7 or
OCS. He thought long and hard about it and finally went to OCS. He had
already received his BSEE and was well on his way to his MSEE.

Luckily, a college degree wasn't required for OCS during the Vietnam days. High
school and a decent GT score seemed good enough, along with the requisite
recommendations and boards.

At the rate they were going through 2LT's and 1LT's, you had to get'em
from somewhere!

You, herring and flajim have nothing in common with the brave soldiers

Both my grandfathers both received the Navy Cross in WWII. Amazing men
one died when I was three and there other died when I was in my early
20's. The one who died last was wounded at Iwo Jima before the landing
supporting the UDTs mapping the beaches. He was a very impressive guy.
He is party why I joined the USMC rather than then Navy. He started out
as a Field Music at Parris Island in 1926.

Hell, you never even left the country, and herring and flajim's service

You keep playing that same old tired tune. If the country called I would
have gone. I didn't hid behind some story that I was carrying the
General"s suitcase.
