Steve,

I sure am glad to hear that at least one Marine has elected not to accept
the Government's subsidy in the form of retirement benefits and health care
coverage. You are the exception! Lately, we all hear the whoosh of
government coffers running dry by individuals wanting the government to
"take care of them from cradle to grave."

Scott,
I never said that I did not accept the retirement and associated benefits that I earned while giving 20+ years of my life to the service of this wonderful country. Fact is, I started as a private and worked my way up to Captain before retirement. You are correct, I did not contribute anything but sweat to my retirement - along with vastly reduced pay. At retirement I was the equivalent to "Faculty Chief" managing an approach control and the operations of a mid-sized joint use airport. I made far less than civilians make in private industry doing the same work. Anyway, if you think what I get in retirement is "from cradle to grave" living, you have a lot to learn. All that does not change my opinion of to much government interference in our lives - especially from the FAA. I hope that you are fighting their desire to torpedo GA with user fees, increased class B airspace's, useless ADIZ in large areas of the country and the rest. Are you even a US c itizen?
Have a great day.

Steve,

Good reply except for the slight jab at the end.

Did you hear about the Marine who had a talking dog. He took it to the local
bar and the dog began to order drinks for the patrons and tell of his
exploits in the Marine Corp. Soon a customer walked up to the Marine and
asked if he would be willing to sell such a fantastic dog to which the
Marine replied, sure, I'll take $5. The customer couldn't believe his ears
and said why are you selling the dog for so little? The Marine said that
the dog was a lying SOB and that the dog was never in the Marines, just the
Navy!

BTW, I wrote my congressmen last week about the increased user fees. Let's
hope that they hear from enough of us to rethink this potential blunder!
