Jay,

I can't help but laugh at your post. If you found it so childish as
you claimed, why did you bother to read ALL 266 messages? Even that
was not enough, you had to add your own childish response by taking a
dig at the Army and Air Force. Glad to see you could rise above the
childish drivel and add something of value to the contributions of
others. BG

It was with a growing sence of disbelief that I read the entire 266
messages in this single thread. Having begun reading RAH to gain some
insight on homebuilts - I would hesitate to give any credence at all to
anything ANY of the posters on this thread have said.

Recognizing that for some reason flame wars begin on these forums, I
still have to say that I have NEVER, on any other forum, had the
opportunity to read such childish drivel from so many different posters
on subjects that are so far from the topic of the forum or even of the
thread itself.

If you don't like a particular poster or don't believe what he says -
either don't read it or put that poster in your ignore bin and move on.
I assume that the majority of you actually believe that you are adults
- try acting like it then.

By-the-by, in the for what it's worth column - the Navy (and at the
time, the Marine Corps as a department of the Navy) do not give Good
Conduct Medals every three years as the Air Force and Army do, they
give them every 4 years. I could speculate that the reasoning is that
the Air Force and Army can't expect their personnel to behave for 4
years so they shortened the time to 3 years - a conclusion easily
supported by what I have seen here - but I suspect that would only lead
to another childish attack.
