Blue Water Navy

This ends the put downs.

I hope everyone takes my Snarky post in a positive manner. I do not like having to get on to anyone but sometimes as an administrator you have to step in and stop the madness! Please take it as a positive experience. We all need to learn from our mistakes and hopefully we can all now get back to a positive forum experience.

I have not posted in quite a while, watching HR 2254 from the sidelines, but totally support the passage of this bill from its inception. since I am a SAC veteran of the Air Force I try not to muddy the water of the BWN wishing them Fallowing Seas and clear sailing. I will only add my best to my comrades in arms to perserver and pursue all those who would try to minimize in any way HR 2254 in any way until we can get this vital legislation passed and nailed down. Because any right thinking person should see the wisdom of non interferrance given the battles The BWN is fighting for all of us. The BWN are my heroes for their ongoing fight against our domestic enemies who have turned on all of us to deny,deny, til we die, Beware of their Treason, no other word fits this bunch!

Thanks for your post. I feel confident that I speak for all when I say "all for one, and one for all". The fact of the matter is that anyone near Vietnam on the water, in the air, or in adjacent countries were probably exposed and deserve compensatiuon and recognition. I wonder what they are doing with the IOM report, and how they will try to get around it?

We must never let them think just because we put the ball in their court, they have carte blanche to take their good easy time in responding to us. I am constantly in attack mode and have been since 1970 when I finally figured out what was and is still happening to me. The Stocking Glove peripheral neuropathy is the common thread affecting probably 85 to 90% of most veterans and I am still fighting them tooth and nail until we can get HR 2254 passed and rammed down their throats. This is the unifying thread common to all of us. We draw strength from each other.

Hell it will be easy to get around the IOM. No one has even publicly mentioned it in so far as the BWN is concerned.

One thing I still try and drive home is the need for all of us to find "OTHER" presumptive ailments as I did with Stocking Glove Peripheral Neuropathy as the way to squeeze between the cracks and get a favorable ruling, not the one I felt I deserved but good enough to win a Service Connection never the less, This is why I stress never quit because they won't and it just might be the one they pay off on.

Not neccesarily true Joe, I know that Senator Reid, Senator Ensign, and Gillibrand just for a few, and there are many many more who have the IOM report. For public awareness, this may not be much news, however, the ones of importance that can make change are the ones that must know, and in all reality, BWN folks have done a great job letting their house members know the facts.

From my little crystal ball, something is lurking around the corner, hopefully it isn't constipation, acid reflux, or some other new diagnosos from the Doctors at the VA Hospitol.....LOL

Later gang, Ken

Marcie and Stabac,
Try to ignore Sommervet. Several months ago I tried working with him and explaining that no one on this site is going to give him a hard time about his trans gender issues. I tried hard to work through the issues with him, but it seems that he is STUCK in the POOR ME CAMP. I gave up and I hope he can resolve his problems elsewhere other than on here. I wish I had seen his post way before this, I could have saved everyone a lot of frustration and confusion. My suggestion is to ignore him and any and all posts he makes until he stops blaming everyone else and faces life like the rest of do.

Terry, you're late to the gate in this post above and out of line and unwarranted, IMHO. Notice her last post here was August 13th and I think she has a grasp of what our goals are and where we are coming from and has not posted anything to the contrary though she has posted items in another thread that pertain to her agenda. Though it doesn't pertain to the Blue Water Navy issues per se, the thread is in Off Topic and is information that everyone should be aware of, whether or not they agree with the principal.
And, something to realize, like it or not, Sommersvet is now a she.

Your way are off base. I talked with Sharon on the phone for months about the issues she faces as a trans gender. I did everything I could to assure her that no one would discriminate against her on our board. She joined our group and even donated a small amount for dues. As much as I tried to help her refocus her attention from how she feels about when people give her a hard time, to what she can do to help others.
It was working and she had changed her feelings. Yet somehow she feel apart again and started blaming everyone under the sun for her problems. Her relationship broke up, the church she was going to was not what she thought it would be.
She fell back into feeling sorry for herself and started doing the poor me thing again. You could go back to January and Feb and read her comments and see that she was blaming everyone then.
Rather than have a positive attitude, she has such a neg attitude that she has been kicked off several other boards that are out there.
So please before you say the post was unwarranted you might want to ask me why I said what I did. I said that I wish I had seen Sharons post earlier, then I could have responded to her and maybe even helped the situation out.

I was hoping this thread was going to fade away , it needs to.

My post was simply about your statement on this thread a month after her last post Terry. I could care less about any other issues or threads at other times. Coming in a month after the fact with your remarks is wrong, IMHO, and I stand by my statement.
