Christmas for a disabled Vet

[paul_376]

ok private with brass. i made my last post blindly (no pun intended.) you aren't a combat vet. you are some college kid that got his medical degree and went from there. i dont need your help. im sorry i dont meet your standards of what a veteran of +5 years is. Frost did this on his own. i thought i would be on here to thank those that have helped, and maybe find some mutual friends.

I do have a plan. i do have goals. but until (you never will) sign up for the Army to stay off the streets of Detroit and make something of yourself, plan on putting 20+ years in and then it crash down upon you like a ton of bricks. you can take your brass and shove it. this is why you dont hear about officers being hurt on the front lines. they don't know. as for the smoking no i dont smoke. i am in top physical shape. im sure my math skills are better than yours. im sure im a better leader than you. you want to know why you get the job we both apply for? cause you have that stupid brass. cause you went to college. some of us couldnt afford to go to college right away and thats part of joining the military was about. its people like you that give people like Frost and I a bad name. you wouldnt last a damn day in my shoes before or after my injury.


as for my children not "remembering" Christmas at this age again you wouldnt understand . I CANNOT AFFORD PRESENTS FOR MY CHILDREN!!!!!!! you will never know what that feels like.

again thank you all to those that have helped. whatever it may be. its not about the money. its about making sure my kids survive. i can survive on ramen noodles and coffee. the rest of my family cant!

btw DAV how many days did you spend sleeping under the Iraqi/Afgani stars?

GOD BLESS YOU ALL THAT BELIEVE AND THOSE THAT NEED PROOF PM me i will give it to you!

1. Thanks for you service.

2. Ignore Dave comments(davbrucas). He very adept at downplaying or making discordant remarks about other people, regarding of their background/tenure/qualifications/status as an individual. He's very arrogant and can come across as a condescending prick at times(I'm guilt of doing the same on occasion). Dave is a good guy, but makes a lot of glib remarks and throws around a lot of self-righteous indignation at people he knows absolutely nothing about. I've engaged this verbal ping pong with him before myself, so just take my world on this. Don't allow his shot in the dark assumptions and hubris get under your skin.

3. Dave is more competent, better educated, more worldly, and has attained a great deal more life experience than the rest of his. At least in his own mind.

4. It is not necessary for you to come on here and prove yourself in anyway to anyone, especially making any attempts to address or acknowledge these incredulous comments made by others.

5. I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and good health.

Take care.

Oh, and never thought it was a scam. Just an unworthy cause. People feeling sorry because he was shot 5yrs ago. So he's down on his luck. There are many on this site down on their luck but wont ask for help. I disagree with tapping into our members for cases like this where all it takes is a little hustle and he's out of the rut. The more hand-outs people give, the less he is gonna want to take care of his business. It appears he is used to handouts after reading the story. Anyway, FF wanted to do help someone out that was on hard times. Fine. I just disagree on putting that on the board. When the board is really needed, the funds may not be there. Refardless, Merry Christmas.

so would you feel differently if the injury wasn't mentioned and it was just someone asking for donations to help with a friend?

i understand where youre coming from but i dont think people are understanding it by the way youve said it.

Well Don, welcome to DFWMustangs. I thought he could answer some of the questions I couldn't.

I would really love to get into it on here with you as it would make for some great reading material, but, most of what I said was crass and wrong so I am just going to apologize for my assumptions and move on. I hope you guys get good use out of the stuff I sent. It would be a shame to refuse it out of spite. Merry Christmas and I hope you get shit figured out soon.
Oh, your assumptions are way off as well.

Dave, were you a LT? I never thought to ask you your rank while you were in.

Thanks for the kind words.

i understand where youre coming from but i dont think people are understanding it by the way youve said it.

I guess I am just verbalizing my own beliefs in that if I was going through hard times, nobody would know and I would bust my ass to get out of the rut before accepting donations. Call it too much pride. Instead of worrying about what others are saying about me on a message board, I would be out pounding the pavement looking for a job.

Dave, were you a LT? I never thought to ask you your rank while you were in.

E-5. Joined right out of HS in 88. Offered E-6 and cash to re-enlist but I wasnt having any more of Clinton's Army. Got out and went to college/med school on the Army's dime.

So that would make you having served in the first gulf war right? What was your MOS?

Oneeyedfox13, your two posts tell me a lot about why you are in the situation you are in.

Yup. But my comments were rather insensitive so maybe we're just seeing the gangsta side of him cause I pissed him off?

Maybe so but other than the rants directed towards you you can read a lot into why he is having trouble keeping a job. You can be a dick sometimes.

My guess is the female boss just got real tired of his shit talking and canned him. Instead of reflecting on this and what he need to change in order to support his wife and children he continues to blame this woman and the back stabbing employee. My guess someone got tired of his bitching. The fact he doesn't know why he was fired from the second also raises concern.

But hey, maybe I'm wrong as well. He said he was good at math (much better than you.)

I'm currently working on algorithms for Bayes estimators of normal variance in a linear model. Maybe he could help. I mean fuck. I don't know shit about math and I make quite a bit of money at it.

I can even card count at blackjack.
