[Vision2020] [ATTACHMENT ADDED] RE: Uninsured adults 25 percent more likely to die

Sun Mar 30 20:30:37 PDT 2008

Hansen,

  I am well aware of the Army, Navy, and Air Force regulations of enlistment and commission as are the recruiters. Everyone of them have a written copy, and most of them have most of it memorized. It is what they do all day. You were not even aware that the PEM forced the military out of the mall. I would think you would be outraged by that action. I mean, the PEM would not even exist if it were not for military recruiting stations. Another reasons I am for a Hawkins Mall for competition. 

  I am sorry you cannot accept the fact that I cannot enter the military. I accepted it, I don't see why you cannot. 

   "Please feel free to blast away at me.  At least then you will have attempted something."

  Hansen, I am sorry you consider my service to the elderly and disabled not something. Many of them were veterans of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam and their spouses. I consider it a privilege to help them in their time of need as they helped this nation in its time of great need. My service is not as great as theirs. But I would not say it is nothing. 

  One man I will never forget, was a foot solider in WWII, he entered France just after the invasion, and he said he "walked, ran, crawled, rode, all the way to Germany". He didn't consider himself a hero because as he said, "I was just what everyone else around me was doing". But I consider him a hero, and while my job may not pay much, it has some rewards that I cannot put a price on, and is definitely "something." Their thanks and praise for my limited help and assistance, is more than I need. So your approval is not important to me Hansen. I have the approval of people I could not possible hold in higher regard. 

  Best Regards,

  Donovan

I never claimed to be an expert on current Army enlistment doctrine and I never will.  However, I am capable of reading and comprehending Army Regulation 601-210.

Army Regulation 601-210 (Active and Reserve Components Enlistment Program), dated 7 June 2007 and attached hereto again, is not merely a guideline.  It is the enlistment gospel according to the Department of the Army.  It is a policy that demands strict adherence and applies to EVERYONE in the Army, including Army "recruiters in Spokane, CDA, Moscow, Pullman, Boise, and Mountain Home Air Force Base", although I seriously doubt that there are ANY Army recruiters at Mountain Home Air Force Base. 

It isn't so much what Tom Hansen of Moscow, Idaho wants to believe, as much as it is policy dictated by those Army personnel with stars on their shoulders in the Pentagon, and those whose duties place them in the Army Recruiting Command that govern the policy detailed in AR 601-210.

You are a real piece of work, Donnie-boy.

Please feel free to blast away at me.  At least then you will have attempted something.

Hansen

  Hansen,

  I know that you think you are an expert on the qualifications to be in the current Army, but you aren't. I have already talked to the military recruiters in Spokane, CDA, Moscow, Pullman, Boise, and Mountain Home Air Force Base. 

  It is very simple, I cannot enlist because of a medical condition. I can get a wavier for those conditions, but only for the positions Chaplin, Doctor, Lawyer, or Nurse. Those are all officer positions. By the time I completed my nursing degree, boot camp, Officer training, I will have passed my 34th birthday without prior enlistment of commission, so I am too old. We did the math. Turns out I will be over 35 before I would be commissioned. 

  You can believe what you want. But I have gone over this about 5 times with military recruiters trying to get me in. I just don't qualify, some people don't. I didn't in my early teens, and I don't qualify now either. You believe what you want. 

  Best Regards,

  Donovan

There is so much about your claims below that is inaccurate (to put it 
kindly) that I am going to simply leave it up to you.

If you want to enlist, you will contact the recruiter in Pullman or 
Sergeant Burdick (I chatted with this real person) in Boise. You can chat 
with Sergeant Burdick from:

If you don't want to enlist, you won't.

In either case . . . 

Enough said.

There are some commissioned positions I do qualify for. But, for me to be 
commissioned, I
must have had prior service before age 34. By the time I got through basic 
training and
Officer Training, I will have reached my 34th year. Sgt. Oswalt is not as 
much of an idiot
as you make him out to be.
