That's being assertive! That's good! Instead of procrastinating, like most other people.

Smile, Sasebo is actually good and Subic didn't impress me much. Never
got to Olangapo. Manilla many times!

Nor should you. I will note for those with no clue, the reserves do
indeed function and in wartime areas. about 10% of ours at any given
time are on active service. Most in the Gulf zone but others where
most needed such as critical jobs that train troops.

No one denigrated her husband. I had commented about the combat rations
we had in the late 60s when I was in the reserves. OgFeelMe jumped on
that to snipe at me for having had some peacetime military service when
I was a teen. Then Bowser asked her if SHE had fought in any. The stupid
cow then whined about her husband being denigrated. No one had
denigrated her husband.... but she had denigrated me. She never served,
so she is no one to try to belittle anyone else's involvement.

Right now a set of some Reserves and some National Guard are helping
out at the COVID vaccination sites. At heast, in the Virginia Beach
Convention center. The ones with appropriate medical training give
vaccinations and the others help with paperwork or assisting those who
need help with a wheelchair. The table where I was for my first shot
was with a reserve HM2 (Enlisted, medically qualified Hospital
Corpsman, Independant Duty Qualified which means she was also qualifed
for some levels of emergency surgery but not a full on MD. More
closely aligned to a PA but some gaps there as it's tailored more to
emergency needs in the field).

I think about 1/4 of the people there on my and Don's days were in
uniform. The guy who took Don's paperwork was National guard.

Like many countries, we have a small standing army but a lot of reserve
units that are called up in time of need. I was 16 when I joined, went
through basic training and then had trades training. There was at least
one international incident that happened during my time that raised
concern about being called up.


I still don't know what sort of idiocy had control of her mind when she
started that ****ing contest that led to her whining about her husband's
service being denigrated. She started off with a snarky remark about me
to which Browser asked her about her service, and she chose to view that
as an attack on her husband. Nobody had said a word about the guy.

Not really sure. I think she tried to email me at my old Cox address?
Cox sends me alerts but can't see the emails.

Carol, I recently changed my computer and instead of WLM that I have
always had, it is ThunderBird!

I had no idea how to use it and made a lot of mistakes.

I never actually tried to mail you, that was a wierd thing that I hadn't
figured out.

As for Dave ...

If you remember, I said to be proud of the service your Don did.

I also said, I am very proud of the service my husband did.

Janet UK made a nasty remark (as always) That my husband only served in
peacetime.

I made a list of the wars he had fought in and Dave made a nasty remark.

He has never stopped!!!

Apologies if I upset you, but it was not deliberate!

Nope. Another example of your failed comprehension. You're really
losing it.

I pointed out that (unlike rfc posters who were US war conscripts) he
was not conscripted during wartime. He voluntarily signed up during
peacetime. UK military conscription ended when he was still in primary
school.

As a real social historian would know.

It's ok Ophelia. Sometimes, I quote parts of things that I don't agree
with and come back with a comment only on the part I agreed with. This
can be misunderstood on down the line.

As far as I know, Don and I are the only 'both retired military' couple
here but that's not said to be a slam on others. Women in the
military were about 10% of the total in 1983 when I entered. Only 10%
at best of those made the full 20 years. A lot of job fields were
closed to us when I came in. The last set just opened out (submarine
duty).

Anyways, with your new software and just getting used to it, I got 2
emails from you but all I could see was the title and your name. I
edited the account here to a fake email (need to make it more obviously
a fake).

I did make several comments on how Reserves and National Guard here in
the US are very useful. I didn't track if your husband was active duty
or Reserve actually. Doesn't matter.

It's sort of silly to banter about who served in a warzone, but the
view most military have (those who stay 20 or more years) is it's
almost 'luck of the draw' on if you will see such during your years.
What I mean is be placed in an actual combat zone. Don was Army in
1968 Vietnam, special forces in theater. When he finished his tour, he
came home for a bit then enlisted in the Navy to finish out at 22 years
of service. His luck was also to be hurt badly in the Beruit Truck
bombing.

I came in in 1983 and retired 2009. Mine was the tour in the gulf
where my back injuries stem from evasive action from a speed boat
attack. Don's got a couple of purple hearts and I qualify for one but
didn't realize it until years later. I was just over 20 years of
service when I saw 'combat action' on a ship under 'enemy fire'. Other
tours in combat zones didn't have our ship fired on.

I guess what I am trying to say is I respect your husband too. Where
we serve, has more to do with military orders and our training. For
every troop in war theater, there are about 20 in support positions who
in turn, usually are the ones who relieve them so they can either go
home, or take up a support position. You go where the service needs
you. They are called 'Orders' not 'Suggestions' for a reason.

I had a friend here in the neighborhood that left the Navy about 18
months ago. He got a job as a National Park Ranger out west.
Interestingly, his Navy years would apply to retirement for his future
park ranger years.

I knew you could switch military branches and retain your years but
didn't know that about going civilian. Maybe that applies to all federal
government jobs???

To an extent, it does. I can for example get a 'retirement' with only
5 years of civilian service because of my military service. At only 5
years, it's only about 125$ a month though.

Go back to school and work non-profit, then.
