Ask them for what? To verify you were in the MC? That you did your job?
Yeah, it was a good thing that you did, no doubt, but it sounds just like
any other day in the Air Force.


LOL! Yeah, sure, that must be the story.

No, REALLY, what the hell do you want anybody to find by reading the
article? Instead of playing games and throwing out teasers, just tell
what it is that you want me to know. I'm not into stupid guessing
games. Spell it out. I read the article from the link you sent. I saw
you're name in print. BFD! Is that the only time you were ever in print?




I was in the Air Force and stationed at Keesler (Biloxi, MS) during
Hurricane Elena in 1985. (Yes, THAT sucked!). Anyhow, after the breeze
stopped (broke the wind measuring equipment at 125 MPH, so never did find
out how hard it blew), it was found that there was no power on the base
and our amateur radio repeater was thus off the air. Officials were
relying on it to bridge the gap in communications between Gulfport and
Pascagoula. So what did I do? I walked out to the street in front of my
dorm, found a wrecked car, lifted the hood and stole the battery. Hand
carried it about a half a mile to the radio club building and hooked it up
to the repeater and got it on the air (had to do a makeshift repair on the
antenna as well). Got a letter of commendation for "rising to the
occasion". I can scan a copy if you wish. I don't feel I went above and
beyond, but the base CO appreciated it enough to write a letter to our CO.
All that for a petty theft


So, the battery was your substitute for the kid? Hmm. Weird logic, but what
the heck, you got your letter.

Here's my logic. I did something to help out and I didn't view it as
any big deal. Now you come off as pompous with the snide attitude. How
do you know that by getting that comm link re-established, that no lives
may have been saved? Hell, even I don't know that. The point is, I
just did what needed to be done. So did you. You think you're a hero.
I don't view myself as a hero. I guess I'm just humble and you're not
(you can look up humility in the dictionary).


So, what exactly is YOUR point about the article?


Read the thread. You'll figure it out, sooner or later.

I guess I won't ever get it and you won't just come out and say it.
Makes me think you hope others won't get it and think you're a big hero
for what you must view as the one defining moment in your life. How
about those EMTs? They do everyday what you did once in your entire life.

I started out asking you about this and seriously was interested enough
in what you were trying to say. Now I could give a rat's ass less
because you couch your answers in riddles. One LAST chance to spell out
exactly what your point is...

What article, Scott? Do you even have a clue what you're talking about? Can
you follow your own trains of thought? Who's on first?

big deal. Now you come off as pompous with the snide attitude.

Which only says you're just another one of those who can't take what you
dish out. You go, boy.

I guess I won't ever get it

That much is clearly apparent.

You originally sent an email to this group telling us all to search for
SOES (circa 1979-1981 or some time close to that) on the Cherry Point
website. I did that, didn't find the article you referred to, asked
you, you checked and gave me a good link to the story and I read it.
So, back to my question (again)...what EXACTLY was it you wanted us to
see (besides a story that gives YOU a warm, fuzzy feeling)??? As for me
not being able to take what I dish out, I don't get that either. What
did I dish out to you? I just asked what you wanted me to
(specifically) get from the above mentioned article. I got what
transpired, I just wondered what was so extraordinary in there. I read
stuff like this in the paper everyday (people helping people). And, in
this case, it looks like you were a cog in the wheel. Did you help to
stop the woman's bleeding? Did you call to get an incubator for the
baby? You fixed a wire so the ship could fly. The pilot flew the bird.
The doctor at the other end saved the waoman and child. Happy ending.
What more is there. I want to hear it from YOU, that's all! Again, I
guess I will NEVER get it and you don't have the common courtesy to give
me what I have repeatedly asked for.

According to Jaun's version, it was a one man show and he was the show.
Everyone else were just bit players. What I found most interesting
about Jaun's account was how he coundn't just recount what he
accomplished but had to try and make everyone else in the story look
stupid.

The funny part is he doesn't understand he was doing what he was
hired to do.

Our C-130s had outlets for iron lungs. Guess who got called when
someone in an iron lung had to be moved. It wasn't our primary job, but
we did it when called to do so. None of us bragged about it. I don't
even recall how many times it happened. This was in the 1980s in case
anyone actually cares.

Now, enough badmouthing yawn. It's time to say something nice about
him. I will start by saying yawn is very good at two things: he can
always be used as a bad example and he is always good for a laugh.

Dan,

I see you are retired Air Force. What were your dates of service and
were you ever stationed at SAC Headquarters at Offutt AFB? I was
stationed there from 65-69.

I have to love an OPTIMIST like yourself. You seem to always find
something good about everyone including Jaun. Yes, he is good for a
laugh once in a while...in sort of a sadistic way. I can't help but
laugh at how he squirms after he is caught in a big lie.

A few years before my time. I went in in 1974. My headquarters time was
Langley, HQ TAC, 1975 - 1980.

I thought an optimist was an eye doctor.
