        Major,
        
        I certainly appreciate your comments about brothers in the military. Being one, I pride myself on being prideful, responsible, strong and well informed. This is also true of most of the brothers that I associate with in the military. To say that we are the cream of the crop is debatable, but I think as a whole, by nature of our work, we process many of the traits that good men are made of.  This topic is fine but I'm looking forward to getting down to real issues like promotion, retention and equal opportunity. 
        
        I'd also like to add that I think that this website it TERRIFIC and commend the founders for giving us something that we can use. Your level of commitment to giving us the BEST is obvious. KEEP IT UP! Wayne,

  Hello,
  I might say that even though I'm not in the military, the issue of military brothers caught my attention. I personally don't know any except for a couple of relatives. But I would tend to agree with you, Major. In just looking at the photos on this website, I see nothing but clean, attractive and self-respecting brothers, all striving to better themselves.
  
  I'd like to suggest that this site provide a service or means for the 'available' military brothers to be exposed to masses. Maybe not a dating service, but something more of a friendly pen-pal portal. I noticed that you have a military dating link on your homepage, but I not sure that they have what we're looking for.

  I had to laugh when I read Major Dobbs statement that the military had the best choice of brothers. I totally disagreed. You have just as much of a chance meeting a low life, DL, and/or whatever other term you would like use brother in the military as any where else. I'm not trying to put my military brothers down but they come with the same problems, insecurities, and unfaithfulness as their civilian counterparts. Yes, they have a steady pay check but most are still living pay check to pay check. They are not immune to the world's impurities and imperfections because they are serving their country.

  This blog should've been called "A Few Good Brothers", b/c that's just about how many that's left. During my 6 yrs in the military, I've seen every type. The man that has a wife, kids and a girlfriend, the man that deploys and leaves his wedding ring in his duffel bag, the man that has STD's and keeps it a secret, in the November issue of Essence, they tell you about an ex-Marine now named "Cookie", the worst kind of man you can get is "The Comeback Kid", that's a man that has hurt woman continuously and he finds a new way to do it each time. He's normally the one that's living paycheck to paycheck! The list goes on and on.
  I'm not saying that the good brothas don't exist, but they're not popular on the radar. Maybe I'm being stationed on the wrong bases. To the "Good Brothers" that do exist: Y'all need to get together and start mentoring the SCRUBS, before the sistas start dating outside of their race or worse: each other.

     I am new to the site and am just seeing this. Morales and values should carry you through no matter where you are or what you are doing. I have quite a few relatives in the military and some are the nicest people that have sense and others that did not have morales and values to begin with. People think that the best guys to be with are the military ones. That is not always the case.

  Suppose it could be documented that a Bible prophecy
  could be demonstrated to have been fulfilled in our day!
  Thousands of people are entering this web sight
  named...
  www.eternaltruth.net">www.eternaltruth.net
  Critics have sought to rip this biblical discovery a
  part in order to disprove it.
  Such attempts continue to fail as ambitious Bible
  critics seek to expose it as another hoax.
  Critics eventually fade as the people who see
  value in this fulfilled prophecy are moved to
  inform others of this possible miracle arriving in
  our day!
  
  Could God have revealed an actual Bible prophecy
  supporting America going into Iraq? Everyone is
  invited to prove or disprove this newly discovered
  prophecy.
  If you can demonstrate a way to disprove this claim
  you may become a guest on Glenn Becks show or even
  Shaun Hannity. If you can bring a case forward
  which supports this prophecy as being true you
  may also become a guest.
  
  This Bible discovery was mentioned on the Rush
  Limbaugh show where millions heard of this web sight.
  If you can find any evidence disputing this claim
  or any evidence confirming it true, please contact
  Shaun at...
  
  "Media track" dogtrack88hotmail.com
  
  Or contact Glenn Beck and make your case
  
  to him. glennbeck.com You may contact
  
  Rush Limbaugh if possible?
  
  For additional information
  
  concerning this matter contact
  
  Ed Cook at ecdistibutions or
  edmund@eternaltruth.net or 208 251 3519
  
  You could receive national recognition for worthy evidence
  if your information is convincing. Why?
  If no one can dispute this biblical claim this discovery
  can be submitted in the media as an actual fulfillment of
  biblical prophecy. If not it may also be exposed as
  a hoax.
  The new President of the united states may be determined
  by the condition of our economy and the war in Iraq.
  What could a Bible prophecy depicting America as
  the biblical eagle bringing freedom to Iraq have upon
  this presidential election?
  Could it perhaps reveal the presidential election from a new
  spiritual perspective?
  This biblical prophecy could unite our American resolve
  for supporting the Iraq war and help our troops.
  
  A subsidiary of Salem communications has already
  declared this work to be a monumental discovery of "biblical
  proportions" in their recent national press release.
  To confirm this national press release go to the Salem
  Xulon press release at- www.eternaltruth.net">www.eternaltruth.net or enter
  their Salem web sight.
  
  There has been no theological criticism having any
  teeth which has demonstrated convincing red flags
  which cast doubt upon this claim. The Bible can be spun
  by people who often take things out of proper context.
  Today modern writers cleverly manufacture their own
  evidences from the Bible and years later we then discover
  such insights were false.
  This means that the specific criteria for documenting is strict. See youtube as it walks you through this discovery www.eternaltruth.nc

  Unsung heroes at the Arts Center Music Schools...When I was cited as active duty Air Force there were several disparities that I now have come to realize, and I hope this disclosure will help other brothers/sisters as they attempt to make their transition from military to civilian lifestyle. First, outside of my required duties as Acctg and Finance Supvr., I was also a member of the Social Actions team which worked outside of the normal chain of command, was a member of several enlisted advisory councils, base advisory councils, and though entering the Air Force with a Black Belt as awarded by renowned Walter King of Detroit, I studied on base the Mandarin language at Island of Formosa and the Tagalog language once I arrived in the Philippines...I am not bragging I'm stating fact! Once I arrived in RPI I found that after training in HsingI kungfu and TKD under Chinese and Korean masters I found myself to be the highest ranking belt at Clark AB, RPI. So I opened classes on base and a school for my Filo student population off-base. After three years I opted to go back to the States (California) where again I got involved in Equal Opportunity and Treatment, Travis AF Base Tae Kwon Do instruction, managed a nightclub off base and attended college courses at Solano and Chapman colleges as well as extension courses (LACC, Eastern washington university). The reason for this entry is that my resume nor my APR (Airman Performance Reports) reflect these erstwhile endeavors and yet some have termed me incompetent since Travis, question my abilities and extracurricular services or the fact that I used my G.I. Bill to train to become a CPA via of becoming a licensed Field Underwriter and a GS Vice-President American Federation of Government Employees of which further training was necessary. When fully active the saying was.."You could fool some of the people, some of the time but not all of the people all of the time..." Outside of life's trials and tribulations and then rendering special services at a designated outpost near Detroit, my contemporaries benefited yet di not give credit where the true credit belonged.. it was/and still is just little ole' me! At your service, please fellow servicemen don't be fooled by dishonest politicians and bureaucrats who really consider you cannon fodder rather than a Soul worth considering. You don't always have to be a pawn, not questioning your orders. Institutionalized racism does exist...really get my story and then ask if the enemy is outside of the foxhole!
