The DD 214 only shows one MOS mechahic helper. Next box is what I did before the service...mechanic. There is only 2 #'s and ond letter like a few pointed out. If you read my first post about my MOS you see I said I really didn't remember the #'s.
I didn't give a shit what I did or where I was sent while in the service. I was on my own from 14 and didn't enjoy some 18 yo 2nd lewy trying to tell me how to fix a truck or track, or shoot a gun. I barely got out of the service W/O doing time. I had many artical 14's, but just like on the outside of the Army I knew the right people to do favors for.
I never really argue on here, but saying that I lied about ever being in the service. That pissed me off.
As far as Ft Greely (Artic Test Board) I was sent there 6 months TDY from Wainright to escape a court marshal for getting caught with a native American woman...in my bunk one morning.
If you look up Greely back in the 1960's, you will see there was a lot of secret shit going on there that covered up to this day. I was a nobody and had several pretty high clearances.
Believe me, I've lived a very full life and don't need to lie or BS. Johnnyt
I understand being pissed off from me accusing you of "not ever being in the service". Thing is, you have to remember, some of your details were completely outlandish and not consistent with the Army such as:
"Having 5+ MOS's in a two year span"-
The Army would never take the time to train and re-train you 5+ times, in your 1 yr, 9 month active duty. If you factor in the training time for each MOS change, lets say ~6 weeks for arguments sake, then you would have spent 30+ weeks in training. The Army is not gonna train you, let you try something out for a couple months, then get fickle and re-train for something new 5+ times.
"Trained with cold weather Special Forces"-
Typically, in most cases, the Army is not gonna send an E-1,63A(mechanic's helper) to train with the Spec Op guys. I could see you assisting the mechanics, working on some of their vehicles...
"two or three MOS's in the low 600's"-
As mentioned before, most two year guys have only one MOS (and none in the low 600's)
"At Greely (Artic Test Center) I tested a lot of stuff, like the M-15 rifle, tanks, multi fuel trucks, and a few other things"-
Again, since when does the Army take an E-1 Private with a mechanic's helper MOS and have him test things outside of his specialty?? The M-15 was new and unproven at the time. Why would the Army take a mechanic's helper with no other qualifications i.e. Rifle Expert to test a rifle prototype?
As far as Ft Greely (Artic Test Board) I was sent there 6 months TDY from Wainright to escape a court marshal for getting caught with a native American woman...in my bunk one morning. -
This is another one that makes no sense whatsoever. You just do not get trasnferred to another base to "escape a court martial". If you are being court martialed, they are gonna drag you on the carpet, regardless of what post you are at.
Also, your edited DD 214 is missing some identifiers, especially your name and Army Service Number?
Do you now see how crazy some of this sounds??
Regardless, I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt.
John Terrell,
I hope you will accept my apology for accusing you of not being in the service. I'm sorry for making false accusations, being too quick to accuse and disparaging your earned respect and honorable discharge.
In addition, I want to thank you for your time spent serving our great nation.
Eric Hu
