Reply to Cutting Spending : Revamp Military Retirement in Current Events JoeUser Forums

A lot of people seem to think that retirees die shortly after retirement. Many even believe further that military retirees usually take their own lives within 2 years of retirement. Some nonsense about living the lifestyle for 20+ years and then not having anything left to live for when they only have their flower beds to boss around. I don't know, sounds hokey to me. Plenty of people die before 50 and if you could look at the percentages, I'd wage

we were put under he Navy Department I don't understand how your own words are different from what I said. Pretty up your explanations all you want, the Marine Corps is under (subordinate to) the Department of the Navy. There is no doubt to the fact that the force is special. Just remember that by creating divisions, you can either fe

Not a type-o. This is our dirty little secret. All Officers are augmented from the Navy and belong to the Navy. Yes, we allow them to wear our uniforms and made some accommodations to make them look like they are in charge but the facts are that the Marine Corps has no officer corps or medical staff, we do have a small administra

When I read your title, I wondered what Sting was doing investigating hate, jihad, and violence... not that he hasn't crusaded against that sort of thing in the past, but I'd prefer for him to be working on a new album for now. Yeah, wrong sting. That is all.

I hear there's openings in the 11 Bang-bang field............

That's why now, he has a daily schedule set up. He

It's Not Worth The Parking Space in Blogging JoeUser Forums

So, fueled by greywar's return and my own return to a more normal schedule, I've decided to update my readers (all three of you). My supervisor went on leave last month. He's the Chief MLI and that means he's the senior enlisted person in the school. Before he left, he told me that I'd be holding down the fort for him while he was gone and that he had wra

Colangelo actually regarded the reduction of a soldier to tears to be an accomplishment. Where I am, it's more of a given. Especially, with the Airmen.

If they actually allowed bootleather to be applied most of these turds would either clean up or leave. Win-Win. HAHA! This is true... As an experiment, I stopped keeping Kleenex in my office about a year ago. It has significantly cut down the amount of tears I have to see.

My most recent batch of students are now in Unit Three, week 10 of 63. I have one student that has been counseled for not doing his homework or falling asleep in class more than 20 times. I can't count the times I've had him locked up in front of my desk. His PSG has had to make a daily schedule for him and he now has to fulfill it in front of her or the CQ NCO everyday. He can't go to bed without calling her at home to report that his homework is

It's too bad HI hasn't stepped up to protect the rights of its BFing mothers in the way that many other states have. I also checked a little about California while I was at the site. California has gone as far as making an annual Breasfeeding Awareness Week to promote understanding and knowledge for bo

I plan to print out my state's laws regarding BFing in public and keep a laminated copy with me so that idiot clerks and others like the flight attendant in the news story can see that they have no right to impose discretion or modesty on me or any other BFing mother. This got me wondering what the law does say. http://www.ncsl.org/progr

Reply to More Out of Control Parents in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I think that the hopeful goal of youth participation in organized sports, as far as the lesson for violence goes, is the discipline involved in being physical without turning to true violence. There's a difference between laying a hit/tackle on a ball carrier and punching somoene in the face. Obviously, there is a disconnect between this valuable lesson and some of the adults in charge, and in turn, their children. But I don't see the prob
