But I hear they have a few women in their 60's and 70's driving truck and working the mess halls and PX. But that could be RW propaganda. Ya think? ------------------------- LETTER FROM A MFSO (Military Families Speak out) member:
Let's go Seniors, your country needs you!
Pack up that extra pair of dentures, tuck pads,
reading glasses and make sure you take all your meds!
Hey, it is approved now.
Us old heads can go do our part in the military,
again for some of us and for others you have a
chance to serve now. First call will be just
after the afternoon nap on Wednesday.
It was finally approved, I am leaving for active
duty on the 1st of February...
Active Duty, Guard and Reserve Troops stretched
to the limit, a new policy to relieve stress
Take a look at the 'new' recruits!

--------------------------------------------
SENIOR Call-Up Approved to Iraq!
From Florida MFSO member Charley Carlson
Now it's not just our children and spouses and brothers and sisters.
Now they are coming after one of our own MFSOers !
Asshole is scraping the bottom of the barrel now!!
This morning I received a telephone call from the U.S. Army Retired Mobilization Branch
notifying me that I am being placed on the standby list for recall to active duty.
Since I officially hold the senior rank of sergeant-major, I am subject to recall until
Christ returns. During Desert Storm I was recalled to active
service for nine months along with another SGM, a WW2 vet, who was 72 years old!!
He had retired long before I entered the army. He was a good soldier, and we still keep in
contact. He taught me how to use a cane while marching. Actually he was in super physical shape.
If the Army recalls me, then they will have to re-train me since I have forgotten all the
military stuff I learned, like which end does the bullet come out of an M-16. Heck, I will be
back at Fort Jackson, S.C. in a squad of 19 year old recruits. I wonder if my old drill sergeant
is still there? His name was Sergeant Ford, a big gruffy black fellow, he used to call me "shit head."
Now he will have to call me Sergeant-Major Shit Head, I'm due a little respect for my rank.
In preparation, I am making a list of things I will demand if called back to active duty.
1. I will not cut my hair. I spent over twenty years with short hair, which was okay since
I didn't have to buy a comb.
2. I want to bring my rubber chicken to show Sergeant Ford, providing he is still there.
3. I want to wear a dress whenever I get the urge. It worked for Klinger on M*A*S*H.
4. I want to display a poster saying, "Impeach Asshole for War Crimes."
5. I will not work on weekends or after 1700 hours during week days.
6. I want to protest the Iraq War on Wednesdays in front of the Post Exchange.
7. I will not carry a weapon because it's too hard to clean the damn things.
The last time, when I was in Korea, a truck ran over my rifle and bent the thing into
an "L" shape. Which was good, as I was the only one who could shoot around corners.
The army tried to make me pay for it..
which is another reason I don't want any government property.
8. I refuse to be a paratrooper this time, as a matter of fact, I refuse to ride in a plane,
so I will demand they transport me by bus, train, bicycle, boat, roller blades, skate board,
or any mode other than air travel.
9. I want a job at the Pentagon tending the goldfish.
10. Last, but not least, I need new uniforms, I sold my old ones to Bubba's G.I. Surplus & Tackle Store.
Do I think they will recall me?
I would like to say I doubt it, however, having been recalled previously I realize it's a genuine possibility.
I was informed in the telephone notification by Mary "whats-her-name" , (a GS clerk not subject to
recall) that "orders" are being mailed and I would be required to undergo an induction physical.
I can pass the physical...but as a war objector, I might have problems with the mental part.
Having been in Vietnam, Cambodia, the phony battle of Grenada, Panama and El Salvador,
I'm convinced that none of these conflicts had anything to do with defending the U.S.A.
With that said, I will refuse to go.
Of course, I will lose my retirement, which is okay since they will give me room and board in Levenworth.
Anyway, I guess I will find out what happens soon enough.
But, ya gotta admit, Asshole is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel now.
It will only get crazier.....

It's THEIR War - it's OUR Loved Ones.
