  1. If it's for the same primary job, then as long as the standards are realistic, there should only be one set. I tried to get a job as a mechanic once. I was told I was ineligible, because their mechanic trainees had to be able to lift entire engines onto shelves 6 ft. off the floor. Yeah, right. So I became a rocket scientist instead Wendy P. Who gets to determine the "realistic" standard? The standards in the, military have been lowed several times in school environments to allow females to pass the entrance tests. But once out in the "real world" environment, they are not as prepared in some cases. There are some who can meet the same standards as the males, but they appear to be a small statistic. At some point we need to acknowledge that the standards for males in certain fields should also be the fields standard. Then the field can be opened to all, and all who pass can work in it.

  2. The tie left behind is a "clip on" tie correct? Issue ties are actually around the neck fore in hand tied neck ties. So, maybe worn by service member but not issued, in my 21 years they never issued clip on ties. I did wear one for the Ball if it was off post, you only need one drunk to drag you by the tie to learn that lesson. Pg 99 is the era the question asks about. http://www.history.army.mil/html/museums/uniforms/survey_uwa.pdf Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

  4. Interesting angle. If he is the same guy it kind of leans back to a SOG type guy. And leads us away from a stuck stateside kind of suspect. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  5. Post 34221 answers your question and contradicts your "Know" comment greatly. So far, I see no actual evidence from you that supports your claim. Please stop with the PM's, I hold no ill will toward you, I just want to know the truth, like a few here do. If you're truly only wanting to know more about your Husbands past and his criminal activity in it, maybe expanding off of the Cooper idea would be a good start.

  6. You need to stop talking in these silly codes and what if scenes. Memories are flawed and with out actual evidence not admissible in the case. You're starting to make some odd connections like BK did, it starts to make your story even less plausible, mostly because there is nothing to back then up, just like all of BK's claims.

  7. I know many lefties who still put the tie clasps on "properly" so as to fulfill their function. I read the files released and on the various pages, they say "identified by..." or "Agent.." I tend to go with those as closer to actual fact, than "in my head" and "because I said so". Don't be mad because a flaw is pointed out. Your claim, like others, is to only know the truth, accept the fact that that truth may mean Duane really was just a two bit hood with marginal mid level organized crime connection and he fooled you. He may have had nothing to do with Copper other than having been in the area at one point in his life. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  8. Yep, some one let the good idea fairy out of the lantern again. Why not just update the POTUS' current BIO? Sprinkling tidbits through out the other POTUS' Bio's is strange, a bad spin idea. What's next? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  9. Yeah, it is possible that the tie Cooper wore left the plane with him. But I think, the FBI Pic and the Duane pic, are of two different Rigged Esophagus-Torso Adornment Retention Devices. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  10. After re-reading the story several times; Your take on the story, seems the most accurate. All the rest of our discussion is just showing our individual biases. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  11. If it is a Tie Clip, why is he wearing it backwards? If it is a Tie "Pin", it would make sense for this pic. Yet it won't make the connection to "Cooper". The FBI has a Tie with a Clasp, and it is the Tie identified by the Flight Attendant as the one "Cooper" wore. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  12. Using the White Houses PDF is kind of biased. Some of the things he gets credited for happened under previous presidents watches, he just continued them and continued accepting the recommendations of those entities. Has he done more for Veterans? maybe, if you exclude the still active uniformed Veterans he has, on paper. But he recently as CINC accepted and pressed for the down sizing of the Military, putting more Veterans out of work (even if Temporary) he also started slashing Vets out of Jobs they held in Contracts and DOD Civilian Positions. i am now one of those. Of course even though the folks all got told over the last few weeks (equating to 250,000 jobs by fiscal years end), most take effect on 1 Oct 2012, so the jobs lost wont be visible till end of Nov. If I wanted to believe the Conspiracy folks, it does look like a re-election card shuffle . Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

  14. Although funny, maybe not the best move to do the direct mailer. These folks don't believe in letting Mile High Operate and will use this to help make more enemies for Mile High. Matt Yes. I agree that it is pretty funny, if you are on the side of the airport and have a sense of humor about ths situation. For the "I hate airplane" crowd however... It's more of a shoving it into your face. I do, however love Kim's comment that the city needs to realize that it has the authority to regulate the noise coming from the airport. No. They don't. It's regulated by the FAA. The DZ can still hand out the Bumper Stickers and let their Patrons display them. The DZ could use the stamped bills for change method, but stamp every bill, not just the $2 ones. Every bill with a stamp will start to circulate through the community and then the City will see the DZ's impact on the local economy. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  16. These are your words, remember. Forums: Messages: Re: harness Re: harness From: BobKnoss Date Sent: Apr 29, 2012, 4:24 AM No, I am saying TOG planned a "false Flag" Government Operation authorized by Nixon. I accuse nobody. If you dig deeper you will find the parachute packing experience. His pack jobs were a very sought after item. He started out packing all his own, then for others. This is something that has been eliminated from his bios. TOG did the training, which tells you he was a competent experienced jumper. He did some high altitude jumps also. Remember, anything of any importance has been altered or omitted wherever possible. You might try to get his military records, but I know they made major changes in McCoy's records. He was Mennonite (Mormon) and would not take up arms to fight, just like me. He was NEVER in VietNam, me either. You are asking about one of the biggest cover-up legacies in History. It includes MLK's assassination and Jim Jones' Jonestown mass suicide, and perhaps other McCoy involvements. That stuff is all on the internet to read yourself. Search Richard A. McCoy CIA and hang on to your shorts. The ties are the lawyers, follow the lawyers' histories and the book unfolds. It is all in public view. With McCoy, his tie is O'Hara from 1968 through 1975, when Mac got his own undercover crew, "The Dog Boys". Happy reading. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  17. What are you trying to do you stupid idiot?? I VERY CLEARLY did not say Rataczak was TOG!! That is not what was said, that is what YOU said. What the hell are you trying to do??? [RED]NO! THAT IS NOT WHAT I SAID!!! YOU ARE NOT GIVING CORRECT INFORMATION! YOU ARE TRYING TO PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH! I WAS VERY SPECIFIC IN STATING THAT YOU WERE ASKING A QUESTION THAT DID NOT PERTAIN TO TOG!!! THEN YOU DELETE THAT PORTION TO MAKE IT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING ELSE?[/RED] QUADE: I WANT A DELETION OF THAT STATEMENT BEING TAGGED TO ME!! NOT TRUE! THIS IS AN INTENTIONAL UNDERHANDED FALSEHOOD AND BLACKMAIL AND TOTALLY OUT OF CONTEXT! THIS IS A PERMANENT BANNING VIOLATION! Wrong, maybe Quade will think posting a PM is in bad form, but as it is un-modifed, and in perfect context with the thread and current discussion the only one who may need a break is you, for the PA, again. MSC It is a complete and accurate copy, un-modified, from you. I kept all your PM's shall I re-post them to refresh your memory? (there is a rumor that the mods can read the PM links and see this is true as well by the way) No blackmail, no reason to ban me, but you may have made a huge mistake, huh? You sent this to me, first remember? I made a post in this thread asking you to state who this TOG/master rigger who made a fatal recommendation was, this was your answer to me. I even received numerous PM's from others who said your claim of who TOG was, is how you said in this PM. I think I will post the rest of your PM's later.

  20. As far as Contractors, in some cases it is far cheaper to use them than GOV employees. For example on the Ranges at a local installation they have GOV and Contractor employees. The GOV is not responsible for any benefits for the Contractors. Some should be counted in the GOV ranks though, if they are classified as "permanent" contractor positions.

  22. Forums: Messages: harness harness From: BobKnoss Date Sent: Apr 27, 2012, 12:47 PM Bill Rataczak (DO NOT REPEAT THIS) This is who you said TOG was, and you said he was the master rigger who made all the rigging advice, you're retracting it now?

  23. I write my Congresswoman weekly. I piss her off a lot when I show how she is failing the Country. Your Stereotype was a swing and a miss though, I belong to no Party and vote how I feel and express what I feel is right not what a party wants to do for control of the populace. The two parties want the same in the end, control. We, you and I, pay enough in taxes to do what the country needs done, we waste most, if not all of it, on overseas prop ups that are of now true use to us. The money they are slicing out of Medicare and Defense is going to other programs, not being saved to get out of debt. So, yes, I do speak up and I do act. When I do speak out, I try to do so as a person who looks at the big picture, the country as a whole, and use common sense and not one ideology as that is misguided and not going to fix this mess that BOTH parties have brought up on us with the Peoples Apathy as the road they traveled.

  24. Yep, and now out of control spending has caught up to us to a point a few raised taxes wont fix it. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  25. To meet the mandated Super Committee Failure driven cuts, the Sec Def has just flat out axed Contracts with minimal notice and cut manning of Uniformed positions, but avoided streamlining redundant offices (like small arms research, uniforms research, A/C research etc). Most all the currently implemented down sizing was done by Gates, with graduation so all had a chance to adapt. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
