I hear you Non. Day by day I am getting to the point that you and my son are already at.

There is a commercial on tv where a HS girl goes to her mother and asks her if she (the mother) has decided to allow the daughter to join the army. Both my wife and I instantly shouted like a European soccer commentator. NOOOOOOOOOO!

And some people want the government to be in charge of our health and well being......

Great point!!!!

Wayne.....fight this tooth and nail!
If you have to, contact your local TV station and tell them your story. Sometimes getting them involved can really get action.
The armed forces, who are trying to get kids to sign up, will not like this story of your son getting screwed over being on TV.
GO GET EM!!!

I will bide my time and let my son do his thing first. If he doesn't succeed I will call Congressman Don on the phone and if that doesn't work we can talk to the tv stations.

Between talking to NSD and some other folks, and hearing this story, I've told my son not to join. Nice going, Army.

Here is my take.. and it might be cynical as all hell.

But part of the problem with the ridiculous layers of red tape and confusion can be pointed back to the root issue that someone bilked the system when it was less complex and the government at that point added layers of "protection" that in the end punishes those that are just trying to get what is coming to them.

We the people have to look no further than members of our own for the demise of this country and systems around us.

I feel for Wayne and his son for being caught up in the wash of it all..

I have heard this so many times over the years. I even warned my son about all the screw ups that happen before he signed up.

I am certain that is a big part of the problem. But they should get off their @ss and ask for the damn paperwork themselves. They should hold off judgment/punishment until they know that he was not in the Army during the months in questions. The archive dept should not be hording the data for 90 days or more until they dole out the data. Flip the switch. in 30 seconds it could be passed along.
there is a backlog of others waiting for the info too. Let's say 100. (There are other archive offices in other parts of the country.) If it took a whole 5 minutes to flip the switch and send the email to the proper person that is 10 days. (assuming one person on an 8 hour shift.) 2 business weeks could clear the whole bottle neck. They won't get 100o requests at the same time so the request for info could be responded to in 2 or 3 days max.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (30-Jul) : Zero, regarding Ewers, you are correct.

beast (30-Jul) : RIP site 😭

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : Site will die, I have to restart it.
