What, you mean that one instance within an organization of three million of an athiest supposedly getting discriminated against proves a widespread evangilist conspiracy to take over the military!?! Was the commander in question even an evangilist?

Btw, didn't the Major deny this? Why do you automatically believe the word of that kid over that of the Major when he 1.) has no evidence of anything he describes happening and 2.) nobody else coroborates his claim? http://www.myspace.com/freddywelborn - his Myspace.

Originally posted by Patroklos All posting that story accomplished was to show your bias in thinking what you do. Like I said, I am Catholic, I have no reason to cover up this vast evalgelist conspiracy, it just doesn't exist. I listed army and air force being effected by this, not the navy so much.

Originally posted by Patroklos Exactly what sort of power do you think Chaplains wield? None, except how you can't really refuse when they decide to sit down next to you and talk.



Originally posted by Patroklos I was trying not to say this, but what is your experiance? Actually being a rater and senior rater for seven people, soon to be 10 people.

Originally posted by Patroklos Superficially so, MILPERS regs are not branch specific past a certain level.

It should also be noted that there is are no such things as boards for E-6 and below in the enlisted ranks and O-3 and below in the officer ranks. Considering those rankes make up the vast majoirty of the force, your deliberate board bias position almost doesn't matter. Except there are actually boards for E-4s in the army. You have to go to the board before you make corporal in the army.



Originally posted by Patroklos It would be nice if you included the form number on that. It does not resemble a PSR or an EVAL.

This is what your board will be looking at...

...when you are at a rate that gets a board. Up to then it is just a simple math equation. DA 4037

Also I could not open that document.

Originally posted by Patroklos And marital status isn't an overt bias, it just so happens married people with large families are not eligable for overseas posts (cost), and most deliberalty restict their posts otherwise for family concerns. Thats the breaks when you chose to have a family alongside a military career.

You probably were not thinking about it that way. Being a young and single newly minted grunt you were probably thinking in terms of time off and leave and family benefits in which you PERCIEVE they get some advantageous bias. I am talking more about biases based on catering to married Soldiers, such as why on post housing is better than the barracks. Married people just tend to stay in longer because the spouse is the deciding factor.

I am also not a grunt and I am not talking about leave and family benefits.
