Juan Carlos Jiménez Rufino (born January 11, 1951), known as La Mona
Jiménez) is arguably the most popular cuarteto singer that has ever
lived. He was born in Córdoba, Argentina.

When he was a child, Jiménez used to play Tarzan with other kids. His
parents often told him he resembled Tarzan's chimpanzee companion
Cheeta. This is allegedly how he got the nickname La Mona ("the [female]
monkey").

He started singing with Cuarteto Berna when he was 15 years old after
winning a contest among 40 other singers. With this group he recorded
five albums.

His first hit was La flaca Marta ("Skinny Marta") from the album Para
toda América ("For All America"), released in 1984. His success allowed
him to buy three brand-new cars and a house in the barrio of Cerro de
Las Rosas, and to pay off a mortgage.

In 40 years of musical career Jiménez has recorded more than 73 CDs and
sold more than 3 million copies all over Argentina. His 62nd CD, titled
Beso a beso con La Mona ("From kiss to kiss with La Mona") sold more
than one hundred thousand copies just in Córdoba.

In 2005, the he received the Konex Award for best Cuarteto solist/band
of the 1995-2005 decade.

I asked him what I was supposed to get out of the article on the
Cherry Point website and he just basically called me stupid for "not
getting it" and said I probably never would. Well, he was right about
that...I DON'T get what is so f***ing important about it. I read it
(after he gave me a good link to the article). All I saw was a
mention that he fixed an APU wire. So, his job title was obviously
APU Fixer Upper. I still don't get why he challenged to rah group to
"look at the article if we have the balls." Huh? What amount of
balls does it take to read the article? He just quit answering my
several pleas asking just WHAT I was supposed to take away from the
table by reading the article, so I guess it just isn't important
enough for him to waste his time telling me what was so important
about what he did. I fixed MANY wires in my illustrious 3 year and 2
month career in the USAF. To save Juanita the trouble of asking why I
didn't do the full 4 years, here it is. Graham-Rudmann, circa 1988.
Look it up.

You don't need anyone to sign a DA-1800 to find out that the
squadron had a medevac mission and took a mom and her preemie to the
hospital, or to inquire about events related to that mission. All
you need is to have enough brain matter to send a FOIA request.




When it comes to personnel records, FOIA records are very limited.
Did you want us to take a look at your military career, or did you
just want us to find evidence of this one, rather routine,
career-definin event?

You are very specific in your demand that we look at someone's
comments. What document were you referring to?

Why don't you help us out in our efforts. Coward.
