Terry Thero supplied the new ones, so we have to give his C.O. a promotion ;-).

The VNR gifs came from Mike Halley's BBS in Valporaiso, IN, wherever the hell

Attendence at RESIDENT service colleges is by selection board.  Any
eligible officer can enroll in a NON_RESIDENT program.  I'm currently
enrolled in Army C&GSC, and I completed Air Force ACSC last year.
Here's some information on the Naval War College non-resident program,
which I saved up for when (if) I get some free time:  (Saved from a
previous posting...) (typos mine...	dave)

	Enrollment for the upcoming academic year has begun for the
Naval War College (NWC) nonresident seminar program, which starts
Sept. 1.  
	Open to active and reserve officers in grades O-3 and above,
and GS-13 and above government civilian employees, this graduate-level
education program offers the same three core courses (Strategy and
Policy, national Security Decision Making and Joint Maritime
Operations) taught in residence at NWC Newport.
	Nonresident seminar students who complete the core courses
receive a NWD diployma, Program for Joint Professional Military
Education (PJME) Phase I credit, and twenty gradualte level credit
hours.  The Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff has certified the NWC,
College of COntinuing Education, nonresident course as meeting PJME
Phase I objectives.
	The applicaiton period extends through July.  Those interested
should contact the Naval War College's College of COntinuing Education
at (401) 841-2135 or AV 948-2135.

Organization: Echo Beach

We received the following press release from Crowell & Moring.
 
 Gay Navy Lieutenant Thorne to Hold Press Conference Wednesday 
 To: National and Assignment desks, Daybook Editor 
 Contact: Linda Brill of Crowell & Moring, 202-624-2784 or 
          703-524-3810 
 
   News Advisory: 
 
   Lt. J.G. Tracy Thorne, USNR, the Navy bombadier-navigator who was 
grounded after announcing on Nightline that he was gay, will hold his 
first press conference on Wednesday, July 22, at 11 a.m. at the 
10th floor conference room of the law firm of Crowell & Moring, 
1001 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. 
   The press conference will coincide with a Board of Inquiry, the 
Navy's formal attempt to oust him from military service, scheduled to 
start the following day, July 23, at the Oceana Naval Air Station, 
Virginia Beach, Va. 
   The ban against gays in the military is one of the last bastions 
of outright discrimination in the United States and has become an 
emotional political and election issue where both presidential 
candidates have widely differing views. 
   Thorne will make a statement regarding his personal views of the 
issue and his lawyer, Patrick Lee from Crowell & Moring, will discuss 
legalities and his strategy at the hearing.  Both men will take 
questions from the media. 
   A Florida resident, Thorne graduated from Vanderbilt University 
and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Navy on Sept. 22, 
1989.  He graduated first in all his highly competitive flight 
training classes and received high academic honors.  He was assigned 
to a combat A6 intruder squadron last December at Oceana.  Thorne 
flew often until his Nightline appearance on May 19.  He has ridden a 
desk ever since.

Attendance at all military education schools (Squadron Officer School, Command
Staff, Navy, Army or Air Force War College, etc) is determined by central
selection boards, on review of records of eligible individuals.  There are 3
levels of education.  The first one is provided for officers in the grade of
O-3 (Captain or Navy Lieutenant).  The intermediate schools are for those
selected for field grade (Major/Lt.Commander), while the Senior Service
Schools (War College) are for newly selected 0-6's (Colonel, USN Captain).

Any officer not selected for attendance in residence has the opportunity to
complete each of the schools by correspondence or by local off-duty education
seminars.

Two things to add, one a piece of important info I left out, the other a
reality check to put things in the proper perspective.

The show will air on PBS at 10:30 PM Eastern Time on Wednesday, November 11,
as a Veterans Day special.  A lot of us plan to be in Washington that week for
the tenth anniversary of the dedication of the Wall, and the show might be an
appropriate way to cap the day.

As further proof that we always have to get on with our lives, I offer the
following:

Late Monday afternoon, after returning home to San Antonio, I was out in my
back yard tending to chores left three days undone.  While engaged with a

Ah yes, Spent 4 years on the USS Berkeley (DDG-15) back in the 70's. Got to
see her last year when she came to Portland for the Rose Festival. Rumors

I was impressed by the longevity of some of the equipment. Stuff that was

This subject of Agent Orange has been glossed over by the military and
government because of potencial liability.  The research paper you read
raises some interesting questions.

Item [1] :  This would indicate that AO has some potencial benifit with
   respect to incidents of cancer.  It may protect against certain cancers.

Item [2] :  According to my copy of the "Handbook of Hazardous Chemicals",
   few hazardous chemicals been shown to cause cancer.
   However, thoes that are know to, have been proven.
   A person can eat all the salt in the world and it will not cause cancer.

Item [3] :  The law states that any product that has been proven to cause
  cancer in laboratory animals is not fit for human consumption.  Why?
  Does the USAF report state that every fire creates dioxins?

During the late 1940s, the Army marched thousands of solders into atomic
bomb mushroom clouds.  This was done even after they know what effect
radiation had on the survivors of Hiroshama and Nagazaki.  During the
Bikini Atol tests in the 50s, servicemen were made to stand on ship decks
during the detonation of some of our largest H-bombs.  You cannot prove
that veterans who were exposed to these weapons suffered from cancers
that were the direct result of such exposure.  How nice.

Racism is the most challenging issue confronting America.  A nation whose
ancestry includes every people on earth, whose motto is "E Pluribus Unum",
whose ideals of freedom under law have inspired millions throughout the world,
cannot continue to harbor prejudice against any racial or ethnic group without
betraying itself.  Racism is an affront to human dignity, a cause of hatred and
division, a disease that devastates society.
