Juan, you really see yourself as a hero, don't you?

You performed competently under pressure in the normal course of your job.
Your failure to perform could have had dire circumstances. I can think of
dozens of jobs that place people in similar situations as a matter of
routine, not just once in a career.

I believe your story and find it interesting. That said, I can't see how it
is career-defining or portrays you as anything other than competent in your
job. I don't see any heroics or courage and in your telling of the story,
you don't really paint of picture of building pressure prior to resolution.

Strangely, you ask us to check out Marine records to corroborate your story,
but you don't really offer any specifics or even tell us what specific
military records might corroborate your story. You like to throw out
near-impossible assignments for the class, don't you?

Maybe, you can help.

How were such missions documented and in what detail were they documented?
What military documents describe these events? Did you receive any
decorations, letters of appreciation, letters of recognition? Are these
events described in your fitrep?

"In fact, check out the records of a medevac mission in 1981 involving a mom
who had just given birth and was hemorraging, and the preemie to which she
had just given
birth."

Can you be more specific, as far as date?


"Then check out the comments of the (at the time, double-digit midget)
Vietnam-vet crew chief on the aircraft that took them from Cherry Point to
the main hospital at Lejeune."

Juan, on what document might we find these comments? If you know where
these events are documented, why don't you tell us?



The funny part is yawn admitted to being a screw up when he said he
never got a good conduct medal despite having served 4 years. I am
curious why he didn't get one. They are automatic every 3 years unless
his commander justifies in writing why he shouldn't get it. Poor boy
admitted to being a screw up and didn't even know it. Yawn, before you
tell us again you got an honourable discharge that doesn't mean you were
a good Marine or even good at your job. I have seen people in all
branches who just loaf through their hitch. The fact you felt the need
to brag about doing your job that one time tells me you were just
another skate.

Let's face it, yawn, you are just a manure salesman with a mouthful
of samples.
