You know, for an elitist Civilian who claims to be tired of this argument, you sure seem to be trying to start it again.

When you throw a rock at a pack of dogs the one that barks the loudest is the one you hit.

I'm trying to start an argument.......by directing you to my post, which was made long before you jumped in & started to pick nits......... wherein I stated that I'd lost interest in continuing to beat this dead horse?

Hardly.
Have a nice weekend.

When I fell off the map at Ft. Lewis I was transferred from 3/11 FA to the 423rd Medical Clearing Company (The step between Battalion Aid and the Combat Support Hospital). They had no idea why I (a 13B) had been assigned to their unit and no one thought to question it.

Anyway, my squad leader had been in the Army for 12 years and had never received PCS orders since she reported to Ft. Lewis after BCT. She had spent her entire career in the 423rd MCC. In the same Squad. She started out at the far left of the squad and moved to the right until she became the Squad Leader.

She told me that Meddac had apparently forgot she existed and she didn't see any need to remind them.

As far as I know she retired and never left 2nd Platoon 423 MCC

Wow, I had 5 duty stations and 18 months of deployment. Although to be fair I opted for redeployment as soon as I was able. Didn't seem to make sense to crack open the seal on my wall locker just to lock it all back up 6 months later and skip out on that pay.

I tell you, when I last was speaking to my former NYPD brother complaining about the fact that he had the privilege of carrying his firearm anywhere in America and asked if he thought it was fair and right that he could but I couldn't, he just shrugged. We are talking about a guy who only shot his Glock once a year just to qualify. I used to beg him to come with me to the range but he could not be bothered. One of the plethora of reasons I don't speak to him anymore.

Hey @Night Train - I realized I never really contributed to your Puerto Rico RFI. Here's my take: PR is amazingly cool and worth a visit if you've never been, even if you can't carry. Old San Juan is pretty interesting, El Yunque is amazing, and the Bacardi factory tour is worth the visit. There's also a bioluminescent pool somewhere nearby (my wife went; I didn't get to go).

Thanks aberrant. I actually visited PR way back in the 1980's and just thought it would be worthwhile to take the Misses but under new circumstances ofcourse but I feel I am not going to give in to any restrictions of our personal safety given the times we currently live in.

I barely remember this woman but I do remember that she made it very clear that she had no problem with doing her entire career at Fort Lewis. The guy that started the Battle of Hilltop never got PCSed anywhere after that. He was already in E6 so they just kept him there until he retired

I chalk up my love of being at home for all the moving I did in the military. It wasn't just duty stations but every new position or barracks assignment. I don't know how many duffel bags I carried even between company barracks. I'm weary of moving. I don't like the travel I do today. It just pays the bills. I've seen most of the world and it sucks.

The reason the world sucks is because its ruled by idiots.

My thinking on LEOSA is that if cops can't carry (almost) anywhere, then the rest of the citizens won't be allowed to either. Thinking baby steps.

We're the one(s) who'll step in between you, or your wife, or kid, or grand kid (the list is endless, because it has no end) & the scumbag.....armed or not......while you sit or stand there, wishing you had your gun....or the stones to step up & do what you watch us do.....or you hear about later, since you weren't there to defend them. That we've retired is meaningless to 99.9% of us because we never stop serving when & if the opportunity arises. Additionally, who better than us to deal with an active threat? You? Someone in your family that's never had to before? Or someone that dealt with hostile individuals on a consistent basis for 20, 25, 30, 35 years? You can claim that we're 'the same' until you're blue in the face, but you're wrong & so is anyone else that is of the same opinion. We dedicated our lives to a career that too often required some of us to sacrifice our life to defend someone we've never met, in an instant & without any hesitation whatsoever. You & 99% of the rest of the population didn't. That's fine, few can perform the job. But we took an oath to defend the populous. That oath has no expiration date. You didn't. So, no. We're not the same as a civilian.

This is so much of a ridiculous blanket statement that it's not worth going into detail on.

With that said, I am all for vets having perks etc that non-vets do not get. Also, our vets really do not get treated properly by our government in so many cases.
