I'm done explaining it but, having missed my point, you are conversing with only your own imagination.
Seems I've been broadcasting in UHF to fellers who are only HF-equipped.
I have read your previous posts and you are broadcasting false information over your UHF channel.
For example:
Kerry's hitch was with the Naval Reserve. The Navy's version of the [EG] Texas Air National Guard...
<< The Reserve is part of the US Navy .... >> As the ANG is part of the Air Force.
From your statements, it is obvious that you were never a commissioned officer who served an active duty tour with the U.S. Armed Forces.
In the National Guard, an officer gets his training and then goes back to civilian life and his "weekend warrior" duty unless his particular unit gets activated.
Officers who graduate from ROTC or NROTC get Reserve commissions but then go directly to active duty tours of at least three years for non-scholarship recipients and four years for scholarship recipients.
Officers who graduate from OCS get Reserve commissions but then go directly to active duty tours of at least four years.
Those three to four year active duty tours are served with the regular units of the U.S. Armed Forces and not with Reserve units.
Only after a Reserve officer is discharged from his initial three to four year active duty tour does he transfer to a Stateside Reserve unit and begin life as a "weekend warrior" if he has any service obligation left.
If your claim is that Kerry joined the Navy instead of the Army to avoid combat, you have a point.
However, making distinctions between Ensigns or Second Lieutenants with Reserve and Regular commissions is a totally bogus point.
Even if Joe Patriot, had volunteered for the U.S. Army and volunteered for a combat tour, if Joe Patriot was not a graduste of West Point, the only way that Joe Patriot could get commissioned as a Second Lieutenant would be through ROTC or OCS and Joe Patriot would have a Reserve commission.
I served eight years of continuous Navy active duty in tours ranging from a guided missile cruiser to Guantanamo to Italy to Navy and Marine Corps bases with a USNR commission. I never spent a single minute in service with a Reserve unit.
You may believe you have "explained" things but you have given false explanations about a topic you are not familiar with.
