  • Local people who finished military training

    It looks like someone I know got back into the military. He just finished training at the National Guard as a Ammunition Specialist in Redstone Arsenal, Alaska (Midweek).

    I know that he went into the military after HS, but went into retirement because of a bad knee. When I first met him in the Boy Scouts, he was one tough dude, always pushing us to our limits and even though he has a bad knee, he still went hiking with us, when we did Physical Training, he did almost everything we did, so we had to do it better. When we moved up into the Law Enforcement Explorers, he did just about every police training excercise with us. The only thing that slowed him down, was his knee and his body (he was short and big, but like me, he got the energy to continue) (yeah, I'm also short and "big boned)"

    I hope, that if he goes to Iraq, he'll help them kick some hinny.
    How'd I get so white and nerdy?

    Adrian, Now I have to really wonder about you! First of all anyone with the slightest hint of not being fit can not be allowed into the Military. As a Military Mother of three soldiers, I know of seveal brave young men and women who were not let in due to asthma, mental issues and yes, bad knees. Our soldiers depend on each other. Anyone not up to par can be a danger to the whole regiment, unit and to the soldier next to him/her.

      I hope he doesn't get sent to Iraq, too. If he had a bum knee, why was he called up? Is it because they've already called up all the reservists who had no physical problems??? If he had arsenal training (like for rockets lidat) then probably he will go to Iraq.

        When you put your mind to it, I guess you can do almost anything (even on a bad knee). But he's rock solid, and will run with the young people (literally).

        His second oldest is in training and is going to Iraq, so god bless him (he's a good, smart kid). The oldest, I don't know, because the last I heard about him, he got caught stealing something from a near by store, and he's probably in jail.

        But if Mr. Santiago does to into Iraq, he'll probably shoot more people down and good luck to the iraqist to try and shoot him down, because he's like a robot when he has a gun.
