#1 Of course, they can't talk to him! He won't return their calls!

Actually, I'm not sure one can leave a message on a Morale Welfare and Recreation phone....

#2 TNR can always write him a "Dear Scott" letter.

#3 NJP can be unpleasant, let us say. I remember one Sp4 who was ETS'ing from the Army in three weeks, and decided to use an obscenity laced-tell off to his NCO squad leader before departing. So back behind the barracks he was really letting fly, when the battalion SGM walked around the corner, behind him.

He then got to spend over two weeks using a push mower to mow the POST. A post with about a golf course's worth of grass on it. In summer. From 8am to 5pm every day.

Ouch.

#4 What - Beauchamp and TNR didn't come up with a conversation-code before he left?

#5 Beauchamp should feel fortunate that he's still breathing. A blanket party would be far too kind for this traitorous weasle.

#8 As I have mentioned before, they probably wne non-judicial, thats company grade Article 15. Once he leaves his current unit, "officially" the Article 15 goes away, other than changes in pay grade. He is probably confined to quarters, given extra duty (like CQ runner _every_ night), and generally not feeling very smart about what he did. If his NCOs are good, his refusal to talk to the media might be his first indication that he has a clue - he needs to cut that stuff out, and start soldiering. And who know, maybe they can salvage him into a decent soldier. Sometime shitbirds like that can take it the hard way and then learn there is a real world and all that fantasy crap needs to be tossed away.

Then again he may not have learned a damn thing and is just biding his time.

#10 Pappy, just between you, me and the fencepost, I'll first: Thank you beyond measure for giving so much in the service of our country. Second; Give you credit in that what you say behind my back doesn't vary much from what you say in front of it. That beats the shit out of what else goes on. As with Frank G., I'm truly confident that if we sat down for a well-scheduled drinking session, we'd most likely find we're on the same page in most places that matter. I could be wrong, but I doubt that I am.

Againfrom what I can tellyou gave one Hell of a lot for our country. However much I might carry on at length, there are not enough words to express my gratitude for your contributions to myand America'sfreedom. Thank you,

Zenster
