"Don't Ask. Don't tell." etc.

This conversation concerning President Obama's promise to lift, the so called, "Don't ask.

Duties of the Post Quartermaster

I have been getting involved in a few chats concerning Post/District QMs and thought I would post the "The Duties of the Post Quartermaster" straight from the CD that national sent out this past May. The main concern in these chats has been QMs not allowing members to look at the books. I believe H covers it. Whether you are a QM of not you should read and study this so you know if your QM is doing things correctly. Do not depend on an inspection to catch it because of the 'good old boy network'… Continue

I'm Joining the Anti-War Movement..Its Actually Come To This

If this so-called leader we have been saddled with will not give our Warriors what they need, when they need it, then I have no choice but to insist that all military personnel be withdrawn from Afghanistan and Iraq immediately. While The Chosen One (may peace and a prize be upon him) is wallowing in the idolatry and adulation of the Nobel Prize Committee and the worlds adoration of his less than stellar accompishments, we have men and women voluntarily putting their lives on the line every day… Continue
