CAll TO ACTION

[charliej47]

When you knowingly break the rules, then you accept the consequences.

IF he is the type to stand his ground then he will and will move on!

Taypo,

I think you may be right about us just butting heads, and the way the Army seems to be going. It is rough going right now, but I think parts are getting better. Slowly and painfully though.
I wish I could take you up on that drink, but I am actually on my way to Gordon right now. Thank you anyways.

E. Marquez,
I did not realize that you retired. Thank you for the time you have given the Army. And you are right. If you willingly violated policy, then you should be willing to face the consequences. I know quite a few that are willing to do that. And have been there myself, a couple of times. I do wish the LtCDR the best of luck on whatever the Navy decides.

Gordon, eh? You a signal guy? I spent a couple weeks out there back in the day. Nice place. Lots of AIT types running around.

Not quite. Ideally I tend to deal with what comes over the signals. In reality I turn wrenches, set up satellite dishes, pitch tents and just about everything but my job. Last AIT post I was at (Fort Sam) there were some ridiculous regulations about non AIT personnel not being allowed to correct AITers, even for flagrant uniform issues. I hope that is not the case at Gordon.

You and I may have background in common. I spent some time in Monterey and San Angelo to get started.

I think we do. I went straight to San Angelo though. I have spent a lot of time working with people from Monterey, teaching each other about what we do. I love my job, when I get to work it.

Only in America does the military have to call police to come protect them because they are not allowed to carry guns.

Gotcha. You guys always seemed to be squared away when I crossed paths with you. Good luck in Gordon!

Ive read a few comments on this thread and some are essentially stating that "rules are rules" & if "you break them, you should be prepared to face the consequences".

How about you dismissive posters tell us what our military should do when they have to contend with those who respect no rules? What do you suggest? Sacrifice cuz rules are rules?

The scary part of the second link is kind of glossed over, but its important. They asked the woman about her husband being an interrogator. That's an extremely specific question that seems very much out of place if these are random encounters. The question appears to indicate some level of research.

That, sir, is an insult to reptiles everywhere.

A couple of things come to mind for me. A couple of years ago I was reading the TPC (I'm easily entertained) and came across a little tidbit about the need for a weapon is defense to prosecution if you had it where you weren't supposed to. Unfortunately I am unable to find the citation right now. Perhaps those more erudite in the Penal Code can help out. This of course has no bearing on Tennessee but it may be at issue if a similar attack happens in Texas.

About Federal property. Is a storefront rented for a recruiting station now Federal property? And how about the rest of the shopping center? I really don't know, just a question that has occurred to me and one, I would think, could really affect the process. And then there are those standing guard out front now, are they on Federal property?

I have read that the Post Office parking lot will we treated as a Fed controlled area and you will be prosecuted I believe that all rented/leased areas under FED control is treated the same way where buildings are located.

My statement about the rules is if you intend to break them then be prepared to accept the consequences.
