 EH>>>>>> Also, Sauer's claims weren't that he washed the
thing, but
 EH>>>>>> that he loaded the gun by hand.

 BK>>>>>  Undoubtably they would be taught to do that

 JM>>>> Not BEFORE he completed basic.
 JM>>>> And he did not even get that far.

 BK>>>  You are digressing from what Hulett said. And basic was 42 days,
 BK>>> even you admit he spent 65 days in the AF.

 JM>> I haven't disagreed with the facts.

 JM>> A week+ in reception

 BA> In AF basic, when you got off the bus at Lackland you were
 BA> *in* basic.  No reception.  Uniform issue on day 2 or at
 BA> the latest day 3.

 We arrived late on day one. We were fed and shipped off to a
 temporary barracks. By the end of Day two we had our haircuts,
 uniforms, and all required personal items, and assignment to our
 training unit and barracks. We were in training.

 JM>> and a week or two in medical hold pending
 JM>> discharge.

 BA> You don't know that.  You may believe it, but you don't
 BA> know it.

 JM>> HE didn't finish basic.

 Actually, I don't really care about what happened, so much as
 the fixation of the right wing hate squad on constant attack.
 That and the determination by those who never served that they
 know better than those of us who did.

 I don't know if Ross is a pathological liar or telling the
 literal truth. Nor do I care. All this BS about claiming Ross
 tried to puff up his military resume by claiming to have worked
 on an A-10. It's just an excuse to jump someone vulnerable. The
 playground bullies strutting their stuff.

 Hell, at least Jesse Ventura puffed up his resume by claiming to
 have been a Navy Seal. But an A-10 weapons mech? Some glory, eh?
