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 (17h) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (18h) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21h) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21h) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21h) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21h) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Of the times we've played there, I just can't recall hearing our fans.

wpr (16-Dec) : Well done jdlax. Well done.

wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.

wpr (16-Dec) : Pack fans represent. I pointed it out early in the game to my wife. Announcers said Packers travel well.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : That was crazy to hear go pack go in Seattle of all plays. That 12 man thing an all

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!

jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.
