The JCS Received Secret Funding from the Government!!!!

Day 1,375, 16:03 • Published in USA USA • by Israel Stevens
This is an article of forum posts that appear both on the Milforum and on eusaforums

This is going to be a very long article, probably the longest I’ve ever written. And if you plan on commenting, I would advise you to read the whole thing before you do. Lastly, this account is completely unedited. I have changed nothing.
To the best of my knowledge, these are the facts.

This is my account of securing government funding for the Army. To date, I have donated over 3500 Q5 weapons to the Army. And another 200 to a branch that will remain nameless. With price fluctuations, that comes out to about $90,000 worth of armaments.

And it all came from the government.

The How
In the Army, we hadn’t been getting any weapons after the fall of V2. Food was much more efficient to fight with. But, it still bugged me that we couldn’t supply guns for everyday use. I started a program in the Army 1st Division, that let any member of the 1st, buy ½ priced Q4s from me. They filled out a form, I donated the guns, and they paid me back. At the time, it was the best I could do, but I always wanted to do more. Then the split with Congress came, and supplies took a brief nose dive. They recovered, and even improved. We were getting more food than we had been when we had funding. But, still no guns. I tried to think of a way to get guns to the people in my division, and the Army as a whole.
Enter the eusaforums. While reading a topic on the Split, I saw a post from Vanek26, who was the Director of OMS (Office of Militia Support) at the time. In it, he said that the JCS forces would be welcome to receive funding, but would be treated like any other militia. This piqued my curiosity, and I sent Vanek a PM asking about how one would go about requesting funding via OMS. He responded, telling me that OMS funding required three things. Roster information. All soldiers communing. And access to Orders. I looked it over, and knew that 2 out of 3 was easy. I could show them a roster, and prove we were communing. But the orders were a no go. I obviously can’t grant access to these boards, and certainly not any of the branch boards.
So, I pondered the situation, and never responded to Vanek. I didn’t know what to do, and was unsure how much I could trust Vanek. I didn’t want to throw myself at him, and have him fuck me over. So I waited. About 2 weeks. Vanek sent a couple of messages, imploring me to get back to him. And finally, I query’d him on IRC. This is the one conversation I don’t have a log of. But, it was mostly content-less. We chatted, and discussed a few things. It didn’t take more than a few minutes, and he told me to go to another room. #noonehere. In that room, was Avruch, the Secretary of Defense at the time. And not long after, Emerick entered. This was his 4th (and final) term as President.
Before I share the log, let me first say two things. First, Emerick holds some sort of god-like power in my mind. He was the first PotUS when I joined the game (WWIII era). And I have always had some sort of deep appreciation of him. Needless to say, I was really, really nervous being in a room with him. And secondly, the link that Emerick post’s is NSFW, and possibly illegal. Click it at your own risk.
Meeting with Emerick, Avruch and Vanek
[20:01] * Israel_Stevens (~chatzilla@Rizon-7CB6800.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) has joined #noonehere
[20:01] * Avruch (~Avruch@notmyreal.hostmask.mask) has joined #noonehere
[20:01] hello avruch
[20:01] hey Israel_Stevens
[20:02] ok
[20:02] Well, basically, Israel_Stevens is with the JCS Army
[20:02] He is a Division Executive Officer
[20:02] And this is off the record
[20:02] completely...
[20:03] Anyhow, he wants to inquire into OMS funding for the Army, correct?
[20:03] fair enough, works for me
[20:03] Yeah, more or less.
[20:04] So, maybe Vanek26 can outline what's involved in providing information to OMS
[20:04] How it works, how he collects and keeps the data, etc.
[20:04] Well, basically, you need to give me a roster, list of companies, and access to orders
[20:04] * Emerick (Emerick@beautiful.individual.that.causes.horniness) has joined #noonehere
[20:04] Only myself, my aide, and the NSC Chairman has access to this info
[20:04] wat up nig~
[20:05] Israel_Stevens is a JCS mil Army DXO
[20:05] Wants OMS funding
[20:05] And OMS pays by the number of actively communing soldiers.
[20:05] right, that
[20:06] Roster, and list of companies isn't an issue
[20:06] Israel_Stevens, any thoughts?
[20:06] How many people do you have under your command?
[20:06] Assuming that a Gdoc is an acceptable format
[20:06] extremely
[20:06] Also I demand that you suck every Congressfag's dick
[20:06] love gdocs
[20:06] Especially Fifer's
[20:06] * @Vanek26 hits Emerick with a newspaper
[20:06] Eh.... roughly 15
[20:06] lol...
[20:06] ~hyuu~
[20:07] Oh, me
[20:07] 15 is a small number
[20:07] I'm guessing access to orders is a problem because its on the milf?
01[20:07] So basically the only issue is access to orders?
[20:07] How much funding would 15 get, Vanek26?
[20:07] yeah. milf
[20:07] Well, he's talking about OMS for the Army as a whole, was my understanding.
[20:07] So 15 people is barely enough to qualify for OMS at all.
[20:07] 15 is the mininum btw
[20:08] and it would get like 1800 bucks weekly.
[20:08] How many people we talking Israel_Stevens?
[20:08] The issue, Israel_Stevens, is that if you want to get funding based on the whole Army... You'll prob need to get Bomb to either go along, or step down.
[20:08] I'm not getting involved in the politics.
[20:08] This is all completely behind Bombs and KLOs back
[20:09] This is what the main issue is. If this can be arranged informally.
[20:09] Without JCS sanctions
[20:09] I can provide Roster.
[20:09] And Commune info
[20:10] Orders are hard.
[20:10] And getting Bomb to go along or step down is completely out of the question
[20:10] well, I suppose I *could* accept your orders in the gdoc.
[20:10] Is the Army in deep water or something?
[20:10] no.
[20:10] not at all
[20:10] you update it daily with the orders
[20:11] They are currently supplying 350 wellness to anyone still with a Q5 house
[20:11] any guns?
[20:11] everyone is getting full wellness that asks for it
[20:11] I know I'm not getting any
[20:11] maybe rangers
[20:11] That's what I would put OMS towards. Weapons. Doesn't seem like Food is the issue
[20:12] Any weapons?
[20:12] I know I'm not getting any
[20:12] maybe rangers
[20:12] That's what I would put OMS towards. Weapons. Doesn't seem like Food is the issue
[20:12] What the shit
[20:12] since the new food changes
[20:12] Army hasnt supplied guns
[20:13] cept for very important battles
[20:13] I don't know many people in the Army, but I'd think that most are old enough to know how easy it is to self-supply food
[20:13] yeah
[20:13] a lot are
[20:13] >sell food
[20:13] >buy weapons
[20:13] I'm assuming thats why they are able to supply 300 wellness.
[20:13] not many people requesting
[20:14] Do you have any idea what kind of stockpile they have?
[20:15] I don't
[20:16] Without Orgs I think only one person has been holding the food.
[20:17] ok, so you want funding for the people in your Division?
[20:18] Rather do the whole army
[20:18] The way I see is this:
[20:18] You fund me
[20:18] I buy guns
[20:18] I distribute them
[20:19] I make it look like I'm doing this out of my own generosity
[20:19] Bomb shouldn't have anything to question
[20:19] hmm
[20:19] Army gets guns
[20:19] Spain cries more
[20:19] Thoughts Avruch, Emerick?
01[20:20] And they disappear.
[20:20] I'm just annoyed at these awful aupplies right now
[20:20] MI is allegedly doing super awesome and get 90 weapons plus oral sex every day
[20:21] And these guys get offered stuff that anyone can easily get themselves
[20:22] I mean, I want to
[20:23] How much would 1800 get?
[20:23] That's like 90 weapons?
[20:23] Between 15 guys over the course of a week
[20:23] Better than no guns
[20:23] Less than one a day, if my math is right
[20:24] And that at current prices
[20:24] *that's
[20:24] They'd get 6 each a week.
[20:24] So one day of boosted damage
[20:25] huehuahuehua
[20:25] How about we offer to remove Bomb and the other fags' heads from their asses
[20:25] No charge
[20:26] thatd be p cool
[2😇2] So, we're talking ~60 people. And that's not enough to get funding?
[2😇2] Really?
[2😇3] Budget must be p tight
[2😇3] 60 people is different
[2😇3] I thought you said 15
[2😇4] that was one division
[2😇4] One division has 15 people in it?
[2😇4] yeah
[2😇4] 4 divisions
[2😇4] plus rangers
[2😇4] plus RECBN
[2😇4] What's RECBN?
[2😇4] Gonna assume 3 platoons/divison?
[2😇5] Reserve something something something
[2😇5] newbies
[2😇5] Yeah, most have 3. Used to have 4. But defections and whatnot
[2😇6] Defections meaning people who joined units that could sufficiently fund?
[2😇6] no
[2😇6] meaning your army
[2😇6] USAF
[2😇6] or, whatever they're called
[2😇6] But, I get the barb...
[2😇6] Any chance we can get the IRC active people?
[2😇7] Just a list of people on most nights?
[2😇7] Yes, and send them over to us
[2😇7] And when you say nights
[2😇8] You means afternoons and mornings
[2😇8] most of us are on nights, East Coast time.
[2😇8] We have a few Euros
[2😇8] Give them to me

[2😇9] We need more early coordination
[2😇9] just for the lulz... you should deal with TheHarvester
[2😇9] Oh, that fag who tanked against the RW we wanted to lose
[2😇9] I'll certainly chat with him
[2😇9] truly embodies everything that is wrong with Bradrees bunch
[20:40] kolv1k
[20:40] He's the ranger commander
[20:40] the two of them run the afternoon attacks
[20:40] pm sent
[20:40] Are they online?
[20:41] no
[20:41] both eruo
[20:41] What we really need is early morning
[20:41] Like 8 EST
[20:41] Get BAD to do that
[20:41] I usually wake up to 4 wins and 4 losses
[20:41] lol...
[20:41] BC is a big help
[20:41] OWLS are if you beg them a week in advance
[20:41] But ore coordination from morningfags would be very nice
[20:41] Anyways
[20:42] I wake up to an even score, and Europe holds every battle after, uless we get lucky or do something drastic
[20:42] So if we could like
[20:42] Get every Eurofag in the country together every monring
[20:42] That'd be fantastic
[20:44] BradleyReala: want OMS funding?
[20:44] Nope, thanks.
[20:44] I tried
[20:44] fuck breala
[20:45] Sp Vanek26, talking 60 people now, assuming all communing, what's the price
[20:46] that would be like $7500
[20:47] That's more than 4x 1800
[20:47] Why
[20:48] 1800 was a guestimate
[20:49] And apparently short.
[20:49] 475 tanks a week
[20:49] Between 60 people
[20:50] 45/6 = 5 meaning that 47.5 would be like 5.5ish
[20:51] oh, I forgot to adjust my budget... my bad... its actually more like 10k
[20:51] That's even worse
[20:51] 10,619.47
[20:51] @ $16 a Q5?
[20:51] So we'd have to tell Congress to give you a larger budget for it?
[20:51] No
[20:51] I was doing it at 20
[20:51] I was basing it off last months
[20:52] this month I got more money, hadn't changed my budget input yet
[20:52] You can do BC and these fags with the new budget?
[20:52] yeah
[20:52] The others would lose a couple thousand each
[20:52] I wasn't counting on doing these guys
[20:53] What kind of adjustment would we have to do to the others?
[20:53] And Israel_Stevens: how would you get tanks out to the rest of the Army?
[20:53] What do you mean by adjustment? How much they lost?
[20:54] I'd probably hand them out to the people that do QMG.
[20:54] And let people request guns the way they request food.
[20:54] ya Vanek26
[20:54] You guys use that one site, right?
[20:54] The same one UM and we use?
[20:57] queried the numbers to you Emerick.
[21:00] completely off topic, but did Ligtreb quit?
[21:00] I think so
[21:00] Believe so.
[21:00] RIP.
[21:00] 🙁
[21:01] Something else off topic: have you seen the Tangled pron?
[21:01] i havent
[21:02] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
[21:08] Not to derail what Emerick has going here... but where to we stand with regards to OMS?
[21:08] do we*
[21:09] I don't hate the idea, but we'll have to find alternative meathods for finding funding since you're uder the table
[21:11] So, what does that entail?
[21:11] Sorry to go AWOL, had a phone call from a parent.
[21:12] Nothing from you
[21:12] We'll just do illegal things
[21:12] So the funding you're interested in, Israel_Stevens, is for a small group of people without the approval of branch leadership?
[21:13] Its for a full branch, with out Bomb or KLO knowing
[21:13] Avruch - ~60 people
[21:14] 😁
[21:14] How is it possible you could fund a whole branch without them finding out?
[21:14] Claim its out of my own generosity
[21:14] I've already set up weapons programs
[21:14] where soldiers can buy 1/2 priced weapons
[21:14] I take a little loss, but the army is stronger for it
[21:15] He can say he bought gold
[21:15] exactly
[21:15] because, I love the army so much
[21:15] Bomb loves hearing that shit
[21:21] Israel_Stevens, you know the OMS director and whatnot changes after each presidential election
[21:21] obvi
[21:21] If Haliman or something gets elected next term, you'd be DDd
[21:21] I'll be DD's anyways. If anyone else finds out
[21:21] cost of doing business
[21:22] yeah, I'm just saying we can keep it quiet for the next few weeks
[21:22] but after elections all bets are off
[21:22] Well, clearly thats why emerick just needs to be the dictator
[21:22] I can't disagree
[21:22] but, I understand your points
[21:23] We'll just have to cross that bridge when we get there.
[21:23] If it's someone I don't feel comfortable asking, then so be it.
[21:24] well, if its OMS
[21:24] there'd be a record
[21:25] What kind of record are we talking about?
[21:26] If someone like Arundel finds out about this, I'm probably fucked anyways
[21:27] just the OMS document
[21:27] but Emerick already said it won't be OMS
[21:27] You know, Israel_Stevens
[21:27] You're a trooper
[21:28] lol... thanks
[21:29] So, I'll provide Roster, Commune, some sort of Orders. That it?
[21:31] Yeah. Put it in a doc, share it with Emerick and I, and we'll get you $10k a week until the term ends.
[21:32] excellent.
[21:32] Thank you.
[21:33] No problem.
[21:34] XXXXXXXXXXXXXX and XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
[21:36] lemme know when you've got it Israel_Stevens, talk to you then.
[21:36] Later folks.
[21:36] * Avruch (~Avruch@notmyreal.hostmask.mask) has left #noonehere (Leaving)
[21:38] ok, gonna leave too
[21:38] later Israel_Stevens
Session Close: Mon May 16 21:38:17 2011

You can see at the 2😇2 point, the discussion changes. Emerick and Avruch had been under the impression that I only wanted to do it for a Division’s worth of soldiers. When, we were really talking about 60 people. I was annoyed with him, and made it clear.

I knew as soon as I agreed to do it, that I had probably sealed my fate. Each new term, brings new Presidents and Secretaries of Defense. Keeping it secret between four people was one thing, but every month would mean even more people knowing. Plus, whomever they told. By agreeing, I had likely just ensured that I would be Dishonorably Discharged. I was putting my entire Military Career on the line, so that I could supply the branch that I love.

After the meeting, I started to put together the documents that I needed, in order to receive funding. I put the Orders and Commune information together first. This was the easier of the two. I had decided that I would take a screenshot of the daily orders, and put them in a Gdoc. I blacked out all of the sensitive passwords, so that all secure rooms remained secured. But, that was it. That Gdoc was shared with the President and the Secretary of Defense. This is that Gdoc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ieGpdfSqMNSQr_OVBSmEBu1hb0rEh4_sUQCSApRp-gw/edit?hl=en_US

The second part was the Roster. This was easy, but highly time consuming. I started with a basic one, and asked if they needed anymore information. They didn’t.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqentuMp8ov3dF9wdEhSTUhtT2kwVi01Rk5ZamlmZ3c&hl=en_US#gid=0

When I sent the links to Avruch and Emerick, and formally requested funding, I was incredibly nervous. If I didn’t get any money, then I had basically just sold out my military for nothing. It didn’t help that it took Avruch a few days to have the money sent to me. But, when I logged onto eRep and saw the notification: The Department of Defense has transferred 10000 USD to your accounts, I knew that we were cool. I managed to get one more round of funding out of Emerick (total of 2), before his term was up. Unfortunately, my computer has since crashed and died, but I do have screen shots of the more recent donations:


After Emerick’s term expired, I decided I would make the same offer to Glove as well. Avruch was returning as Glove’s Secretary of Defense, and Glove was also former SEES. He seemed like someone I could trust.

Turned out, he was incredibly easy to convince. It took maybe 10 minutes. He had been briefed by Emerick and Avruch already.

[ARMY]Israel_Stevens Do you have time to chat, mr president?
glove Yes Mr Israel_Stevens
[ARMY]Israel_Stevens congrats, first off
[ARMY]Israel_Stevens Was disappointed when you didnt run for re-election
[ARMY]Israel_Stevens anyways....
[ARMY]Israel_Stevens Did Emerick and/or Avruch tell you about how they funded the JCS Army, during Em's 2nd term?
glove avruch told me they did it secretly
[ARMY]Israel_Stevens yeah
[ARMY]Israel_Stevens It was completely off the books. I'm not really sure what they did on their end.
[ARMY]Israel_Stevens That being said, I was wondering if you would be interested in continuing this program
glove ok
glove congress should just inject me with usd tbh
glove we'll start winning everywhere
glove ;3
[ARMY]Israel_Stevens hahaha, agreed
[ARMY]Israel_Stevens So, I'll give you the same access that Em had?
glove sure
[ARMY]Israel_Stevens Ok. all I need is an email, and you'll get access to the gdocs

[ARMY]Israel_Stevens The deal was, you and Avruch get access to those, and the Army gets 10k every week.

Even with the abrupt ending, that’s all it took. Glove was on board, and we were set for another month of funding.




Then Glove’s term ended, and with it, Avruch. New President, and new Sec Def as well. And to top matters off, Technician almost won the presidency. That would of been the end of this agreement for sure. But alas, Blank Keating won, and I approached him on the subject as well.

Israel_Stevens Mr. President... You have a few minutes to talk to a lowly citizen?
Blank_Keating YOU HAVE SIXTY SECONDS PEASANT
Blank_Keating i mean, sure
Blank_Keating
Israel_Stevens lulz....
Israel_Stevens First off, congrats
Israel_Stevens I have been meaning to take a few minutes and speak with you, but had RL vacation...
Israel_Stevens anyways...
Israel_Stevens Did Glove or Avruch mention what we've been doing for the past month?
Blank_Keating in what regard?
Israel_Stevens hmmm.... doesn't sound like it.
Israel_Stevens Let's start from the beginning
Israel_Stevens I'll try and be quick
Israel_Stevens I am a Division Executive Officer from the JCS army
Israel_Stevens During Emerick's second (fourth) term
Israel_Stevens Him, Avuch, and myself started to fund the Army via OMS
Israel_Stevens ...kind of
Israel_Stevens This was completely off the record, and I would appreciate it if it stayed that way
Israel_Stevens I'd be instantly DD'd if this gets out
Blank_Keating ok
Israel_Stevens Anyways, I provided the POTUS and SOD with access to the Army's orders, Roster, and commune/supply information
Israel_Stevens In return they supplied me with $10000 every week
Israel_Stevens Basic OMS funding. Except, it came straight out of the Sec Def budget
Israel_Stevens We continued this during Glove's term
Israel_Stevens You can check with any of them, this is the truth
Israel_Stevens Vanek also knows, because he was the one that helped me set things up initially.
Blank_Keating ok
Israel_Stevens So... what I'm obviously getting at, is... would you like to continue this program?
Blank_Keating have you told A^2 yet?
Israel_Stevens not yet. Figured I'd start at the top.
Blank_Keating since he controls the money and the budgeting and such, ask him if its feasible
Blank_Keating cuz our revenue is nosediving
Israel_Stevens yeah... the whole, not having any states thing
Blank_Keating and ill tell him he has final decision authority
Israel_Stevens Ok.
Israel_Stevens If nothing else.... you get to fund Breala's army right under his nose
Israel_Stevens
Blank_Keating
Blank_Keating bradree doesnt like me anymore
Blank_Keating because i asked him to change his orders
Israel_Stevens haha
Blank_Keating a mortal sin in some circles
Israel_Stevens I promise you... we're not all like him
Blank_Keating oh i know
Blank_Keating you guys need new management lol
Blank_Keating or at least a diplomat
Israel_Stevens Couldn't agree more
Israel_Stevens Just trying to do my part....
Israel_Stevens Anyways, thanks for listening. I hope this works out.
Israel_Stevens Please keep this hush hush, even if we can't hammer out a deal
Blank_Keating no problem
Israel_Stevens much love

So, I found Alexander Auctoritas. And had a conversation with him. And he was super easy to convince as well. It turns out the Government wants to work with us. Who knew?

Israel_Stevens Anyways,
Israel_Stevens What I'm about to tell you it highly secretive
Israel_Stevens And if Bomb, or any JCS finds out, I'll be DD'd.
Israel_Stevens And I'd rather not be DD'd
Israel_Stevens During Emerick's 2nd term (4th overall), him, Avruch and myself started to fund the Army via the Sec Def budget
Israel_Stevens It was kind of like OMS funding
Israel_Stevens but it was off the books
Israel_Stevens I provided the POTUS and SecDef with Roster, Communes/Companies, and Orders
Israel_Stevens They provided me with 10k per week
Israel_Stevens Basic OMS, just off the books
Israel_Stevens We continued this during Glove's presidency
Israel_Stevens So... the question is, do you wish to continue this?
Israel_Stevens I most certainly do. And BK said that he would leave the decision in your hands. If the Sec Def budget can swing it, he said go ahead and do it
Israel_Stevens You still with me?
A^2 one sec
A^2 phone
Israel_Stevens ok
A^2 sorry, one of the bosses. hold one moment
Israel_Stevens sure
A^2 surely.
A^2 I have no problems doing it.
A^2 I just need to request some more funding.
A^2 but I can send the first 10k whenever you want.
Israel_Stevens ok
Israel_Stevens Let me get my end of things back up and running first. I'll request it in a day or two.
Israel_Stevens You have a gmail account?
Israel_Stevens All the roster and stuff is through google docs
Israel_Stevens I'll give you access
A^2 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A^2 you're welcome.
A^2 shame we have to do things like this.
A^2 just a damn shame.
Israel_Stevens I know...
Israel_Stevens a select few choosing pride over the groups they claim to represent
A^2 everyone is screaming at me to get an amendment this month to bring the eUS Military back into the fold. But I've asked Brad and the roster thing is just too much for him to swallow.
Israel_Stevens Ive brought it up on the mil forums... got shot down, yelled at by brad
Israel_Stevens and got warning points
Israel_Stevens ridiculous
Israel_Stevens Im a huge supporter of bringing the eus mil back in. If there's anything I can do....
A^2 I've been working all month, but this roster brings it to a halt everytime.
A^2 fucking sucks
Israel_Stevens yeah. I hear you man
Israel_Stevens Anyways, I appreciate this. And I know the rank and file of the Army do as well.
Israel_Stevens Please keep this hush hush for now though...
A^2 no problem, I have no issues keeping this under wraps.
Israel_Stevens thanks.
Israel_Stevens Much obliged

And with that the Blank Keating Administration was on board. 3 Months. 3 Different Presidents. All sent funding to the Army. Alexander said that he wouldn’t even bother checking the gdocs that I had set up. So, I let them fall into disuse. That’s why they are so old. They haven’t been touched since the Glove Administration.




That has been the end of the funding. When Cerb was elected, I was unsure how far I could trust him. He is tight with Pfeiffer, and I didn’t want him finding out. Although, Vanek and Avruch both serve in the Ultramarines, so they may have already told him. I honestly don’t know. To my knowledge, the only people that know are Emerick, Avruch, Vanek, Glove, Blank Keating, Alexander Auctoritas, Cerb (I do know that A^2 briefed him), and myself. I am sure that there are a few more people in there, that knew about this. But, I am unaware of them. All of my commanding officers had no knowledge of this. Not Bombonato, nor Redbirdusa. And it should go without saying that they had no part in it either. This was completely a solo operation.

The Why
The obvious answer to The Why, is to get guns to people that didn’t have them. And that has, and will always remain the basis for what I have done. As a Senior Officer, it is as much my job to serve my soldiers, as it is their job to listen to me. If I am not looking out for them, then who is? I did what I did for the Army. Not for personal benefit. All weapons went to kolv1k, except for an additional 200 that I donated to another branch. You can ask him if you don’t believe me. Due to price fluctuations, sometimes $10k bought me over 700 weapons at a time. But more recently, it has only bought 250 or so. Had I continued, I was planning on re-negotiating the deal to get more money.

When I first agreed to this with Emerick and Avruch, I was unsure what I wanted to do with the knowledge. Obviously, this was a huge amount of information. But, I was unsure how best to use it. And I still am.
At first, I thought that I should try and force Bombonato to resign. At the time, he seemed largely inactive. Orders weren’t being put up, and he was never around. And neither was KLO. The DCOs and DXOs were running the branch. I thought that I might be able to turn this into Bombonato’s resignation. And to prove that I wasn’t in this for the personal power, I had planned on resigning my Senior Officer spot as well. Had Bomb resigned, I likely would of been promoted to fill the vacant DCO spot. And although it was something that I wanted, I didn’t want it under those circumstances. So, I was prepared to resign.
But, then I started talking to Bomb. PMs and whatnot on IRC. Just general stuff, and some military stuff. Strategy, eRep, history. I got to know him a little bit. And it turns out that Bomb is awesome. And I am sad that I didn’t see that sooner. Do I still want Bomb to resign? Hell no. Bomb should be promoted. But, that’s neither here nor there.

Suffice is to say, I was never in this for personal gain. I got nothing out of this. In fact, I am going to lose everything because of it. I will very likely be Dishonorably Discharged. It’s ok. I understand that the JCS needs to get rid of anyone that doesn’t quite tow the company line. But for chrissakes... stop this ePeen measuring contest. Nobody cares that you are the greatest military minds in the country, if you won’t work with the country.

Be the bigger person, and make the first move. Apply for OMS funding. Withholding Roster information is kind of ridiculous, considering that ANY Officer has access to the entire military’s roster, via the User Groups on the forum. What’s the point of withholding it? Plus, we all wear uniforms, and tag ourselves on IRC... we couldn’t be less camouflaged! It is utterly ridiculous.

Commune information? Is almost impossible to provide now, as it is extremely difficult to check on whether everyone is communing or not.

And as for supplying Order information, every time the USAF, or the Government is mentioned on these boards, we hear about how much better the communication has gotten, and how we are all working together, and finally winning, etc. If that’s the case, then doesn’t the NSC have a pretty good idea what our orders are already? Why continue to formally withhold them? It can’t be OPSEC, as MA’s and the strategic element of surprise they provided are largely dead. It’s simply pride.

What is the point of not accepting funding? It’s a pissing match with the Executive and Congress. And while you’re doing it, you’re pissing all over the military. All over the people that faithfully supported you all through thick and thin. When you made the decision to leave Congress behind, it was the soldiers that came to your defense, and rallied behind you. The only reason that there is still a military, is because these people have selflessly given you their support. And you continue to piss all over them. Without all the people that rallied to you, when you decided to leave, you would be stuck by yourselves, out in the cold. These people, are what gives you your power. And you are doing them an incredible disservice by continuously refusing funding. You are manipulating, and wasting the undying trust that they have put in you.

In closing, I want to say that I have no regrets over anything that has happened. I acted on behalf of my division, and of my branch. And I did what was necessary to help them, and to make them into better soldiers. Which is one of the primary responsibilities of an officer. I will not be resigning my position. If you want to Dishonorably Discharge someone that donated over $90k worth of weapons to the military, then you will have to do that yourselves.

If this is goodbye, then I salute the enlisted men and women of this military. You are what makes us great. And it is you that gives this military life. Don’t forget that.

I will gladly answer responses until I am banned!

Executive Officer, 1st Division.
