Forgive my bluntness, no offense intended. Are you really an Army Medic?
Great read ping!
Yes. I'm sorry for posting as such. I know my command frowns on us taking political positions, but I couldn't resist at this point. I was brought to this point by peer pressure. By force? By coercion? I give up...I'm busted.
Great article, Thanks for posting it.
May God bless you.
My family and I thank you.
From the deepest depths of our hearts. Thank you.
Thank you. Very much. That means a lot. I am worried about coming under fire for such, but oh, well, "c'est la white flag," as the French would say.
That is very gracious of you. Forgive me for this, but I truly have given nothing.
So I'm an idyet...what is "ping"?
This is absolutely great!
Many thanks!
Thank you for your service to our country. My appreciation for you knows no bounds! God bless and keep you.
Thank you. You are as your namesake. Spread the joy. I have a feeling that most folks think we in the military are disfunkshunal and inept in the realm of current events. Odd, don't ya think? Since we're the guys in the thick of "it"?
I hope that you don't take any flak for posting this. I thank YOU for your service, and everything that you do for our troops!
Greetings from another (former) 91B..Alpha Company 232 Med Bn (AIT SUMMER '93)
You are not a "nobody". You are why I joined the Army. Thank you for being there and being worth giving my career choice! You do know that's why we do it. Not initially, no. We first join because we want to prove that we are truly men [Of course, I'm only speaking for my gender, no offense]! And then we realize that it goes beyond us and out to our families and friends. We see what an impact it has in our communities. After a long while, we see how it truly impacts international relations, military service that is, and how the detractors are ALWAYS the ones who have something negative to add to the mix of anti-US commentary. After all is said, folks like myself try to resign themselves to supporting people like you and ignore those who deny democracy and freedom. That's not a quip. That is truly how I feel and how I see my ultimate command structure. For the vast part, those above me and those under my command are in it for the long haul and love to give our time (and arguably our lives) for the time we have at home with people like you. I wouldn't trade it for all of Bin Laden's money.
Ah, well. I receive flak for many things, but usually in ranting at the "peace protestors" in front of my installation. Turns out, one time, one of the ladies was a friend of my mom. Ooh. That took some due diligence in seeing a resolution!
HA! I was a 91A, then 91B, then 91W, did the conversion, and now we're going to be 68W. Woohoo. Civilian credentials bite. But I love it and wouldn't trade it for anything. Well, maybe a DIA job. I would trade for that.
You're not busted.
No one here is going to tell on you.
God bless you and thank you for your
service to our country.
You are a Great American. Thank you for the insight.
