1. When was this posted?
I mean, is this always up on the .mil site, or did it just all of a sudden appear?

2. I think it's this morning's bulletin
I could be wrong. But, hey, LET's sign up! Like the conservatives who took over school boards in small towns, we could do the same nationwide! There certainly are enough of us.

11. I think they put it up last week, because another DUer here
has been trying to get me to sign up for a few days now. Since at least Friday. Does the way it's worded make you sick or what? Decide which young men will receive deferrments. Puke.

3. Can't...
Prospective Board Members must be citizens of the United States , at least 18 years old, and registered with the Selective Service (if male). Prospective Board Members may not be an employee of any law enforcement occupation, not be an active or retired member of the Armed Forces, and not have been convicted of any criminal offense.

Chickenhawks only, please.

9. Not So Bad
By Criminal Record they have to mean felony, and while lots of old geezers might have found themselves in a scrape or two when they were younger very few of them came up with felony convictions. Trust me, if 3 DUI's don't count for Bush/Cheney then they can't be reason for denying Presidential appointment.

6. I would have an agenda
Edited on Tue Oct-28-03 07:42 PM by bluestateguy
My agenda:

Set free all legit CO's, and contemptuously dismiss ALL bullshit excuses by white male chickenhawk frat boy Republicans' from well to do families. I would see to it that they were sent off to the front lines of combat.
