It looks like Mr Majied was on the US Carrituck. Here is the information that he gave the Association when he joined them earlier this year:
Majied, Ahmad
2710 Cambridge Road, Albany, GA 31721-1574
229-431-1144
MACM
1963-66
Not knowing jack about such things, I invite ex-Navy types to help me interpret "MACM" and describe what role the Carrituck served in Vietnam. He apparently served 4 years assigned to the ship.
Note to AP: it took me 4.7 seconds to pull this from Google, and 10 minutes to read several links and write this post. I am available for hire as a fact checker, at substantially lower rates than experts such as Howlin and Buckhead.
That ad ran in WV. Both the Ms. and I got a laugh out of it. I liked it when she said, "If I lose my clients ..." then she did that strange head toss and shrugged her shoulder. Looked strange.
I thought she'd look better cast as a street person. She definitely had the whipped dog look down pat. Come to think of it, a bunch of my Democrat friends have been looking the same lately.
The AP story has his from Albay, NY
Yep...
to use a newly coined phrase
We're mad as ZELL and we're not going to take it anymore!
bump!!!
There is an IMAM Ahmad Majied in Albany.
I'll leave it to you all to figure out if there is any significance to that.
Albany, NY --
It's an Islamic name, so maybe some guy converted and changed his name. I doubt there were any muslims in the SEALS at that time, and none of them spent 5 years in Vietnam (and neither did anyone else).
Yes, but were they wearing pajamas? It's not official unless they were (extra points for footies!).
Yea, but you’re slow. See #89. Guess you get what you pay for, a slow talk'n slow type'n Texan. {smile}
I did not know the records worked that way. You've already been careful. Thanks.
Jammies? We don't need no steenking jammies.
(Ewwwww! Whatever you do, don't look at the chair seat.)
This will be old media's next line of defence: deadline anxiety syndrome.
How about D.U.P.E. - Deadline Under Pressure Excuse.
Good catch....!
In fact, 5 years in Vietnam would have been quite difficult for anyone. You would almost have had to do the tours back to back, something the military did rarely, if at all.
So are you, see 61. LOL
...who spent eight days drinking sweet mint tea...
