As you well know Pete,Harpseal and TP....... operators would much rather be kept off the pages of the nooooze and presstitutional journals if at all possible.

I just sent this page to my brother and he aked me to thank you all for the kind words. He also said to remind you guys who paved the way with blood ,sweat and experience that Special Ops wouldn't be today what it is with out folks such as yourselves who've been there done that and lived to pass on the good and bad ways to accomplish the task at hand for those such as himself and his teams. He said he'll post this page in their shop for the other to read also.

As to this intsitution of learning bending their rule for 300 million I swear that is criminal IMO. They will harrass and protest and spit on these recruiters yet they get our tax dollars to further their sedition and socialist agenda which is clearly no longer ....hidden.

Stay Safe, Stay Armed and CYA Ya'll

My law school also refused to allow military recruiters on campus in 1995 and 1996, when my class was interviewing for legal positions. Interestingly enough, it was not the MILITARY which enacted "don't ask, don't tell," it was the United States Congress:

The "don't ask, don't tell" policy toward homosexual members of the United States military was instituted as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for the Fiscal Year 1994. The policy is embodied in § 654(b) as well as various Department of Defense ("DoD") directives. See 10 U.S.C. § 654.

Of course, my alma mater saw fit to invite onto campus all sorts of other federal agencies, like the FBI, the DoJ, and the IRS. Needless to say, they do not receive ANY (more) money from me!

SEALS and SF get too much attention,while these guys and the US Coast Guard rescue swimmers get none. One of these days some bright reporter is going to wake up and discover there is one hell of a good human-interest story in the rescue swimmers.

For some reason the AF PR machine has never seemed to push stories on these guys like the Army and Navy do. They did a pretty good job showing how tough these guys were in the movie "Perfect Storm", (the Coast Guard too) but I doubt the Air Force instigated that.

I also have a former Ranger friend who has one hell of a lot of respect for the AF forward controllers. It probably would be a good story to tell.
