My MOS is now obsolete. I was a radio repairman / operator; what is now called the captain’s bitch. Since my APC was redlined most of the time I was there I ran the company’s communication net from the C.O.’s tank in the loaders seat. Some of the time I was running Chargin’ Charlie Company – an E-3 doing a E-6’s and an O-3’s job!. Because I’m 6’ I was sent to the Z to maintain radios at the L.P’s , Being a hunter and a tanker the North Koreans incessant shoot to miss didn’t bother me THAT much but the powers that be saw no reason to give me ammo for my .45 cal. And M-16, THAT scared me senseless!
Most of my service time I was either an E-3 or an E-4 with acting sergeant stripes performing a E-6’s job. My commo section at A Troop, 3/5 Air Cav, 9th Inf. Div. even maxed the I.G. Inspection. I had to fight to get my men a 3 day pass! Needless to say when I wasn’t offered the Good Conduct Medal, I turned down the $10,000 re-up bonus and went on to college. 15 years later events from Korea caught up with me and I now am 100% service connected disabled. I pray you fare better. BTW, have they torn down the Quonset huts with the smelly diesel heaters yet? Take care my brother, Richard, C Co. 1/72 Armor 1st Bgd, 2nd Inf. Div. Camp Casey Korea
Ok, drop the Mr. Schreiber, I stopped being a "sir" when my government thought I was no longer "useful" to them. Call me Allen. The key to the success of this movement is that we do NOT get hung up on titles and positions that members posess outside of this movement, but rather concentrate on what we all can do to contribute to the success of energy independence - the talents and minds that join - not the letters that procede and follow their name. That being said, I have a high degree of respect for the sacrifices that you, and others that have served in Iraq/Afghanistan, have made personally for our Country. It is a shame that our Government does not provide for our returning Vets the support that is so critically needed, instead they gut the budget and downsize the VA so they can line the pockets of their "contractor" buddies with blank checks to fund their re-election campaigns later. The system is very broke, big oil bears a lot of the responsibility for that.
I am not a "Revolutionary", I am just a citizen who knows how a Democracy is supposed to work, and just how broken ours really is. In a Democracy, the government should fear its citizens, not the other way around, like it is now.
Energy independence from foreign oil is the first step for the Citizens of the US to regain control of their Country. A grass roots effort such as this can do a lot to revitalize the citizens of this country into actually participating in the democratic process once again.
Energy independence gives us the ability, and allows us the freedom, to put this country's resourses back into this country. Rebuilding and improving the infrastructure of our country, providing for the education, health, and well-being of our citizens, building a future for our children and grandchildren are all a possbility if we stop draining this country's wealth into the pockets of those thugs who are (successfully) trying to end our American way of life.
Allen
Thanks for serving. I salute you!
