My email to Ramstein Air base re Hamill (civilian) transport/ treatment
Is anyone else confused (or angry) about this civilian truck driver being transported, billeted, and cared for by our military?
He works for a private civilian company.
If you think I'm overreacting, please let me know.
To:
435abw.pa@ramstein.af.mil Dear Sir/Madam,
I am profoundly confused as to why Thomas Hamill, a civilian Halliburton truck driver, has been airlifted to the base at Ramstein.
Did the military pay for this transport (and any subsequent medical treatment)?
Is this SOP?
Who approved this use of American taxpayer dollars?
Will you bill Halliburton for the full cost of this civilian's transport, lodging, and treatment?
Halliburton's benefits program is well known to those of us from Texas:
The Halliburton Benefits Program
The Halliburton Benefits Program provides you with the benefit plans and tools you need to manage your and your family’s health care expenses, financial security, and other personal needs and goals. The program offers:
Value - Halliburton shares in the cost of your benefits so that you have access to quality benefits at a price you can afford.
Choice - Halliburton believes that no one knows what you need better than you do. The benefits program is designed so that you may choose the benefits that are right for you and your family — benefits that provide the level of security you need.
Convenience - Halliburton knows your time is valuable. The Halliburton Benefits Center and its automated systems allow you to request and receive personalized information about your benefits online or by phone, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Your Benefit Options
Halliburton benefits fall into three categories:
* Health and Group Benefits
* Retirement and Savings
* Other programs including the Educational Assistance Program and Employee Stock Purchase Program.
Thank you for your time.
Perhaps you should remind them of the 'toon letting Teddy toss John-John's watersoaked ashes off the back of a Navy ship.
Good grief, the US is debriefing Hamill and getting him medical care. The way they talk you would think that Hamil and Halliburton were the enemies. AHA, I think we are on to something.....
