5. No letter, as of yet
I did get an e-mail with a lot of yada-yada about how important the Privacy Act is and the need to safeguard information covered by it. I expect to get a letter.

14. Would you like to be on Air America Radio?
Edited on Fri Jun-16-06 06:46 AM by lonestarnot
Arizona Vets for Peace have purchased air time for some Sunday morning spots. I left my notes at work, so I would have to get back with you on what women's issues they would like to address with you. I am off to day for the Scottsdale protest but I'm going to go in on Saturday, so I will add some more details to this thread on Saturday.

I would have thought that I would have been contacted by now. Oh well, I'm doing all the right things regardless.

12. My husband and I just got ours today -
We're both vets. My father got his two weeks ago. However, I think a lot of the delay has come from the address change we went through last year; it probably took a while for the VA to verify where we now live.

I think a lot has to do with the ability for your local VA to find you.

10. Ahoy -
There's quite a few female vets of various flavors on the board. Covering from the military to the animal doctor definitions. It just might be a bit late in the evening for many of us be haunting DU.

Vet - US Navy, 1977 - 1998.

I hate going to hospitals and funerals. I've been to far too many of them over the years; most for accidents, but a few due to some sort of "action".

Personal belief - war is a symptom of a breakdown of wisdom and diplomacy. When it comes, it brings chaos, not order. Not to say a capable military isn't a good thing to have around, it just shouldn't be casually used - certainly not for "fun and profit".
So I guess you could say I'm for peace (especially since I've been in a few peace marches over the last four years...).

18. Ahoy matie. Hey.
Arizona Veterans for Peace have purchased some Sunday spots on Air America Radio for Veterans for Peace. Interested in giving a quick interview? I posted earlier that I left my notes at work regarding what they might be asking but I vaguely recall that it has to do with women's issues in the military, so that could be about just about anything you want to speak to on a personal level. I'll get back with you if you are interested. Meeting two of the guys today at the protest. They are just totatally fantastic men. Fighting like hell to end this war of lies.

11. I don't understand the thought process behind....
... trying to have a private conversation in a public forum...

Don't bother saying it - I'm going away now...

But what a bizarre idea.

17. Conversation is obviously not private or I would not have posted here.
Dee Dee Dee. And if you aren't a female vet, why did you bother to post to the thread? This will be waiting for you when you come back.
