I was able to derail my own career just fine without usenet . . . and the
golden boys had a lot more to work with than a couple of non-pc posts in
this forum OBTW.

And I wouldn't have had it any other way.

I chose to serve in 1978- I chose to serve according to right and wrong, not
to get ahead- and my impending retirement presents me with no bitterness, no
grief, no regrets.

Well except for those last three last straws that is . . .

yourself pretty damn cheap IMNSHO.)

I put the word out because at least one active duty person who has posted
here
is on a **** list as a result. He is never going to know it and he is
never
going to understand why certain things happen in his career that cause him
grief.

There are a million ways to get screwed over in the military. You don't
need
to volunteer for this one.

There are also people posting here, ex-military, who those still in and
who
have advanced far up the ladder, don't like. They didn't like them when
they
were in the service and were pleased their career was derailed.

These people do not like to see these individuals get any sort of
attention at
all. Not even a usenet message board ****ing contest. If you
participate, it
will be noticed.

Replies have been jocular. I got a laugh out of one. But believe me, if
you
are active duty, think. Participating in an open forum where military
rejects
and propagandists provide much of the content - is that really the
smartest way
to spend your free time?

Your call.
