More emerges on the staff sergeant
TBI
Probable PTSD
Was training to be a recruiter. Recruiters do not deploy. This gives credence to that claim from the lawyer.
So the army seems to have broken their word, not surprised, to a soldier who should have not deployed...and doing such may cost them the mission, given current demands and counter demands at the political level.
It is a tragedy for all concerned...but this is having repercussions beyond just the victims here.
What the army will try is drag this along to make it go away. But the mission...if they had kept their word, we would not be having this conversation by the way.

2. Yeah but ironivpcally this incident
Lets use DOD lingo here, incident...may put a kibosh on the whole enterprise.

4. You tell yourself it's black and white...if it makes you feel better.
By the way two things
1.- I am not excusing him...though there is this thing called a trial, and he should not be the only one on the docket here.
2.- You think it's a-ok we keep deploying people over and over and over again? Or you think perhaps it's high time we have THAT conversation?

8. I am not mitigating a thing
I just understand that it is not black and white.
By the way, he did more than kill people. He may have killed a mission.
But hey, binary thinking is great. And yes, I hope repeated deployments are made part of the defense. It's high time we have that national conversation.

11. The military will bend over to avoid any blame.

In a lot of ways, I suppose the net could be considered something other than real life. On the net a person could be something completely different than what he or she is in regular life. I guess we really don't have a sure way of knowing the real individual sitting behind the keyboard. Take me for instance, I say I'm a fictional spirit guide, but for all you guys know I could just be some regular human being with a computer. (Honestly though, I really am a fictional spirit guide).
With all that said I have to wonder if nads acts in real life in the same way that she acts on the net. If so, I wouldn't think that she would have any friends because most people wouldn't put up with such arrogant condescension.
edit to add: If you read this nads, you know I was your unofficial CC advocate during the course of last year's DOTY. Don't let up. Only a handful of people have won the award twice in a row. No one has won it three times in a row. Keep campaigning and show the world that you're the best.

Ok I want you people to understand something right now

Nads do you self a favor and shut up about your knowledge of the military.
You make yourself look dumber than Beth, and that isn't an accomplishment of merit.
Your only experience with the military is ******* your old mans ****. :hammer:
-
As a former recruiter, might I pose a question to nads--how the **** does one "train to become a recruiter"?
I know what I had to do, and I "screened" for recruiter duty, but I never "trained to become a recruiter" until I actually left my last boat and went to Pensacola, and I'm pretty damned sure the process for the Army is the same.

I hate it when people talk shit about things they know absolutely nothing about.

It's that way in the Marines too; you are either in recruiters school or you aren't, it's not something that you "train" for.

I can't help but think that more gun control would have gone a long way to prevent this whole mess...[]DU MODE OFF[/]

Suffice it to say, Nads is a "trained historian", so she might think that everyone 'trains' to do anything.

That's not a joke.
Earlier this week, the jug-eared muslim's Secretary of Defense forced a couple hundred Marines to lay down their weapons in a war zone.
I wonder if that's ever happened before in the history of the Marine Corps.

I don't know what is supposed to be the "DOD lingo" here, but if it is 'kibosh', this reference does not credit the DOD at all.
Suffice it to say I nadined 'ironivpcally', had no success.

There are one or two Nadites who show up in every thread, cyberly nodding and soaking up every word.
Do they consider this 'cyber stalking' in the same way they consider anyone who disagrees?

He is the Commander and Chief of all Navy Corpsemen in all 57 states, with one to go.

You know, nadin's not even quite 50 years old yet.
But given all the careers she's had, the things she's done, even Methuselah couldn't jam them all into his lifetime.

Freeper Future Snake Eater was SSgt Bales Platoon Leader, he has some pretty interesting comments at this FR thread. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2860095/posts)

Heck, Jake worked on recruitment with the recruiters when he was still a poolie. He loved it.

This reminds me of a joke.
A boyscout with a backpack,
and the world's smartest man,
Get on to a small airplane,
The boyscout gets to sit by the pilot,
and hangs his backpack from the seatback
Halfway through the flight,
The pilot tells his two passengers,
I have good news, and bad news,
Tell us the bad news first
The plane's about to crash
and we'll all probably die
without a parachute
What's the good news ?
We have two parachutes,
Who will it be ?
Before you know it the smartest man in the world
Says, I'm grabbing this parachute
I'm the smartest man in the world
And the world needs me more than he needs either of you
And out he went
Before the pilot could say anything, the smartest man in the world had jumped
Don't worry said the boyscout.
The smartest man ever in the history of the world or universe
Just jumped with my backpack.

My son did the same thing and it worked out very well for him.
I know a lot of guys that excelled as recruiters. I always knew, deep down, that I would suck at it, I'm just not a people-person. I did my 22 years without ever having to do either recruiter or DI duty, but I did more than my fair share of deployments to make up for it.

The title of this thread annoys me. Nads Knows Nothing About The Army is much more appropriate.

Shes been a pin cushion for some Navy guy for years how could she ever know anything about the Army other then ail of our stuff is green. Even this guy has a better record of finding stuff out then she does.

She claims he is a combat veteran, yet he is a retired Navy submarine quartermaster, when was the last time we had submarine warfare?
She also claims combat medic status for herself, fighting the cartels, hand to hand.
You are a joke nadin, keep it up.

Is not School training ? DOH.
In your defense you did say Marines so the confusion is understandable :tongue:

Now, to be fair, I've never fired a shot in anger, but I'm still a life member of the VFW.
There's a very good reason we call it the "Silent Service" you know. That being said, what the wives on the boat know about what we do underway or on 'Pac? Only if some dipshit calls from a liberty port--like one guy on my last boat did from Thailand.
Oh, the shit that flew after that one. One of the few times I was glad to be a single guy on the boat.
-
I am not denigrating your service or that of any other Navy serviceman, I just really doubt that nadins hubby qualifies as a combat veteran if he was a QMC on a submarine.
Also, if you are in recruiters school, you are there on orders and are thus non-deployable. He would have had to have been dropped from school and returned to his unit in order to deploy with them.

Friend of mine did 30 yrs in the Army. never deployed a once. Did both DI & Recruiter. Was probably the only Sergeant Major on Ft.Hood That Didn't deploy for DS1
That some odds Viet Nam - DS1 and no deployments
