Re: "Concurrent receipt"

Thanks again for the suggestions and help on this, gentlemen. I talked to my father last night and his situation is under review with a good chance of being changed. His morale is greatly improved.

Re: "Concurrent receipt"

Thanks, Ranger Silverback!

Gentlemen: My profound apologies for posting this if it's been discussed already. I just received a call from a very upset mother. My father has just run into an issue with what he's been told is called "concurrent receipt." He's now only receiving $23 per month in retirement pay. Here are...

Just some bullets...from a guy who wasn't a Ranger and didn't earn a patch for his right sleeve. - Losing my first soldier in a training accident. Even though the soldier had been doing something stupid, there were many life lessons in that. I count this as the very moment I "grew up" - wh...

Re: U.S. Soldier Nabs Bank Robbers

An ROTC classmate of mine was involved in something along these lines back in 1999.

When the news made the rounds of the alums, we all were in agreement..."well, that's not surprising."

Great job by SSG Peoples.

I'll go a step further. Read the book Hot Zone. Take that, and everything you "know" about NBC warfare, and expand that exponentially. You are entering a very dark place. You will be exposed to many things that only exist in most peoples' nightmares. Be ready for it. I'd rather eat a bull...
