Len, lest you nit pick about the location of Fort Campbell, let me explain.
Yes, I was for sure at Ft. Campbell in Kentucky. The base saddles the state
line between Kentucky and Tennessee.

I would wake up in Kentucky and go across the street to the PX in Tennessee.
You see, Len, the stae border ran right down the dividing line of the base.
I would do PT in Kentucky and and have a cold one at the end of the day in
Tennessee.

Of course you chairborne types would not know this.

And Len, you have not answered my question. What was your MOS and what did
you do in the service of our country?

It seems that you and bb have a fair share of hot air with little to
substantiate your claims.

Stand up. Hook up. Stand in the door.

I'm just a lowly ole Jarhead Airdale and I knew that...WITHOUT
having to point-and-click to find it!

Allow me to help, Arf.

Lennie has regaled us with his tales of Radioland Warheroness over
and over...

Lennie held MAINTENANCE MOS's for "microwave relay" systems in
the 1950's. He has tried to use that to impress us with how he
allegedly "operated HF radio without Morse Code" back in the day...The
problem is he NEVER held any operator MOS.

No doubt he keyed up the rig to help set SWR or pre-set channels
on ocssassion, but Lennie was no closer to being a "radio operator"
than "Barney" is to being a Tyrannasaurus Rex.

You missed his "1.2 million messages passed" song and dance. He
tried to pass off as his own accomplishment some phenominal numbers of
traffic passed...

Needless to say just about everyone landed on his head over the
numbers...THEN the story changed to "Well...I was part of a TEAM that
did it...".

Yeah...uh huh...right...

I can see HQMC peeing down their legs in hillarity if I tried to
get my record to reflect how I was "part of the team" of "my" old unit
in Viet Nam...Oh..Wait...I was still in High School when they did
that...Oh well..I'll tell 'em Lennie said it's OK!

His other NG faux pas, first "aired" about 4 years ago and repeated
here within the last week, has been his use of the sacrifices of the
lives of Soldiers who were KIA's to make him appear as though he was
somehow involved in their greater glory. That in and of itself is
about as disgusting and disgraceful as one (alleged) veteran can be
towards another.

You may have seen Jim Miccolis ream Lennie on the "Russian Bear"
threat and his 'sphinchter' post.

In one episode of buffoonery and grandstanding, Lennie went on to
tell us how he "lived under the threat of the Russian (Tu-95) Bear"
while he was in Japan. Well, any reasonably well informed aviation
historian knows that the bear entered service well AFTER Lennie had
rotated back to CONUS.

And his "sphinchter" post was a scathing damnation of another
poster who "didn't know what it was like to be under "incomming"
artillery fire", as if HE knew what it was like...Ask Jim to provide
you the link...It's yet another damning example of how this wonderputz
feels perfectly at liberty to TAKE liberties with military service.

And of course he can't help but ridicule anyone who "volunteers"
for ANYthing, and especially Civil Air Patrol and other military
programs...Oh, Lennie is ALL ABOUT dragging out his former military
service number like it was five white stars on a field of blue when it
suits him...

Of course he can't even get THOSE insults correct. You should have
seen his attempts to "call me" on CAP's inventory...airframes CAP
hasn't flown in 20 years!

And Lennie's scathing damnation of the "civilian defense" services
of WW2...Of course Lennie was a pre-pubescent adolescent in the midwest
during the war...But hey, let's not let details get in the way...

Lennie enlisted without waiting to be drafted. Good for him. He
managed to get out with a GCM. Bravo. No one can take that much away
from him...But his lies, deceit and liberties with other people's
sacrifices SINCE then make him a real piece of work.....

It seems that you and bb have a fair share of hot air with little to
substantiate your claims.

At least Brian Burke (I have to give him this due where it's
due...) did some forward-deployed time in Somalia. He and I both know
what incomming fire sounds like...!

Lennie's "incomming fire" was an M-80 rolled down the squadbay on
July 4th!

Stand up. Hook up. Stand in the door.

Airborne!

OOOHRAH!

Thanks, Trooper!

Hello Arf!,

Len does not answer most questions. He says they're "loaded",
even when it's clear they are not.

Now ya did it - he'll do a couple dozen kilobytes about ADA

It seems that you and bb have a fair share of hot air

Here, I'll sum it up for you:

"No matter what employment, education, experience or
government/military service a person has, if that person opposes Mr.
Anderson's views, he/she will be the target of Mr. Anderson's insults,
ridicule, name-calling, factual errors, ethnic/gender/racial slurs,
excessive emoticons and general infantile behavior."

Stand up. Hook up. Stand in the door.

Gotta take some serious cajones to jump out of an aircraft that
is flying perfectly well. Double or triple that to do it in order to
engage hostile folks on the ground.

Here's a big "thank you" to you and all who have served our country,
Arf. Both in uniform and in other ways.

I met up with a Ranger at Benning who apparently disagreed. I asked
him how he liked jumping, and he said he had no choice. I asked him
what he meant, and he told me that there was no such thing as a
perfectly good Air Force airplane. So I asked him if there was such a
thing as a perfectly good Army parachute.

Brian, Pastor Miccolis ASSUMES this anony-mouse ("Arf! Arf!")

That is followed by:

Poor Jimmie. NEVER was in the military, NEVER worked any
professional communications, NEVER did much except play with
his "homebuilt" hobby radios. But, Jimmie will idolize and
rhapsodize on the pioneers of radio doing their thing before
Jimmie's existance...so much so that he makes them into
"heroes" and near-mythological figures.

All of that to summarize poor Jimmie NOT being able to take
the heat of discussion ON subjects. He MUST go into a
Personal Attack mode to "defend himself." His ego (his most
sacred cow) was severely injured and he seeks retribution.
He is still wearing bandages over his goring of several years
back...

Gotta take some serious cajones to jump out of an aircraft that

Gotta take some serious "cajones" to ENLIST voluntarily...or
even accept a draft notice (which Jimmie never did).

Jimmie "knows" all about parachute jumping in the military.

Jimmie must think that "cajones" is acceptible but "balls" is
not acceptible when both words are useable in the same
context. He can be very prim, proper, and oh-so-"civil" by
using a Spanish colloquialism in regards to Manly Courage.

Heh heh heh. Cross fingers and hope all the QC people did
their thing properly...on airplanes as well as parachutes.

Double or triple that to do it in order to

Jimmie must think that anyone against HIS opinions in here are
"hostiles." Anyone acting against HIS opinions is not considered
"patriotic." :-)


Here's a big "thank you" to you and all who have served our country,
Arf. Both in uniform and in other ways.

What other ways?

According to Jimmie's general outlook, those "other ways" must be
to Support and Defend the Constitution of the ARRL and preserve
the morse code test for amateur radio license examinations
(against all oppressors). Very Patriotic. Very Memorable.
Because:

"No matter what employment, education, experience or
government/military service a person has, if that person opposes Mr.
Miccolis' views, he/she will be the target of Mr. Miccolis' insults,
ridicule, name-calling, factual errors, ethnic/gender/racial slurs,

I know what "chairborne" means, Len. Doesn't matter if I was
part of anything or not. In fact, it's not about me at all.

That is followed by:

That's a plain, simple fact, Len. You don't answer most questions
posed to you here.

"It is clear they are not" is one of the most hypocritical

OK, Len - then give us some examples of these "loaded" questions.

Poor Jimmie. NEVER was in the military,

So? I never claimed to be. It's not about me.

You've told us about your exploits at ADA many, many, many times,
Len. That's the point.

NEVER worked any professional communications,

How do you know, Len? And why does it matter - it's not
about me.

NEVER did much except play with
his "homebuilt" hobby radios.

Now, that's not true at all. I've done lots of things -
including many things you haven't. That really seems
to bug you, Len.

But, Jimmie will idolize and

Give disgruntled Len a two hour course during Jump Week at Benning, duct
tape his Relys to his hips and let him fly.
I guarantee you that by the time old Lennie hits the silk he will have more
than filled his Relys and will be well on his way to filling his reserve
Rely.

By the time he lands he will have done Double Doodie.

Couldn't. Was already IN the U.S. Army. The Army Serial
Number I was given had the prefix "RA" on it...that denoted
a VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENT. Those who got draft notices and
went in that way got the "US" prefix.

What was YOUR prefix, Jimmie?

Oh, that's right, I almost forgot that the Army switched
from ASNs to the Social Security Number in 1969. Tsk, tsk,
YOU could NEVER have an ASN!

Jimmie "knows" all about parachute jumping in the military.

I don't claim to know all about it. Just some things.

You are way too modest. You've read about so many things.

You ever do any parachute jumps, Len?

One.

For personal experience. Wasn't a requirement in radio.

Maybe it's a new requirement in AMATEUR radio now? [I must
check with the FCC more often...they "revise the amateur
regulations so often" and everyone knows (in here) that
amateur radio is "a vital important service to the nation"
as I've been told by others]

No, parachute jumping is NOT a requirement for amateur
radio. Last change to U.S. amateur radio regulations was
in 2002...something about amateur antennas...

How many Jumps have YOU made, Jimmie? [other than through
those hoops]

Does everyone have to Jump when you command, Jimmie?
