So, as I'm sure some of you know, the end of the fiscal year for the government is 30Sep. We've got some "end-of-year" funds that need to be used before then. Well I submitted a package for a TDY to go to Dillon Aero and take their mini-gun class. Two days in a classroom and one day on the live fire range to learn malfunction analysis! This is big for us gunners... kinda like going to church and being taught by god himself. I hope his calendar models are there!
 Sorry, I'm sure most of you are like "who cares?" and know this is going to get no replies I'm just excited as hell and had to share. ~Dg84 |

Why not take this oppurtunity to tell you boss that since you have extra funds that maybe it should be returned to the tax payer instead of being wasted.

Master class training that might save his life or the lives of others in the defense of our country, and you call it a "waste"?  Time for you to take your meds and go play with your dolls. doorgunner84 - Thanks! Have fun, and put what you learn to good use. Be sure to pass on your new found knowledge to the others who won't get to go to the training. |

Don't get me wrong, I think you should be well trained. But it was you that said this was "end of year funds that must be used up". That means it is extra money right? Well, then it must not be needed. The only reason it is being spent is so the budget doesn't show that the job is getting done with the money they now have. This type of mentallity is what leads to ever increasing budgets and taxes. If you need more training then I am all for it. But make it budgeted, just don't throw money at it when ever you happen to have it. Sgatr15 |

Sarge - apparently, life in CA has ruined your brain.
Remaining funds to not equate to 'left over money' or 'extra money' extorted from taxpayers. It may be the result of careful budgeting and frugal planning. As this probably does not rise to the level of a doll movie, enjoy your weekend. All the best! -Ben |

Careful budgeting...EGGS ACT LY! So it is extra, that all I am saying. The government should be trying to SAVE money, not SPEND all they have. The ONLY reason this money is being spent is because if it isn't then their budget will be decreased last year as it would appear they don't need as much. What is wrong with DECREASING government spending when it can do so? If this guy needs more training then give it to him...as a BUDGETED ITEM. Sgat1r54 |

Sarge has a point guys.
While *in this instance* we're all gung ho for doorgunner to do something fun, it sounds like the training wasn't originally planned for. If it would have been necessary to begin with, I'm sure he could have gone on the training anyways. Now, add that up across ALL government beaurocracies, and what do you get? doorgunner - this is not meant as a personal attack against you, and I thank you for your service and hope you do indeed get to participate in all the training you need. Please understand that using up "end of the year" funds does reek of "spend it or lose it." |

Sarge,
It is budgeted. They just haven't used it this fiscal year. When we had live TOW missiles left in the fiscal year, we used them in training. It makes for realism in training. There are things that can not be simulated. I for one would love to see the improvements that Mike Dillon made to the miniguns. |

SO WOULD I!!!!!!! I would also LOVE to see money spent well. My recently dead father has boxes upon boxes FULL of tools! Everything from screw drivers to hammers to pliar to whatever! ALL from the AF! Because at the end of the year the bough new tools weather they needed them or not. Because if they didn't spend the money that year their budget would go down next year. But if they SPENT all the money their budget went up. Understand? Sgat1r5 |

I've been around long enough to know that you argue for the sake of argument. I guess that's what you gotta do to get to 50K. People have already tried to explain that the money was budgeted... but you being the retard you are, fail to understand. See, there's what we call a Pot on money (POM) set aside for TDY's. Throughout the fiscal year that money is held close to the chest by our tight-wad finance managers as not to run out BEFORE the year is over. So, we run into what we've got now... X amount of dollars that needs to be used in a short amount of time or that money will go away. Who knows it might go away and be used to replace STOLEN tools. ~Dg84 |

Stolen tools huh? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, let me think about that. My father's boss TELLS the crew to remove the tools even if that means they have to take them hoime. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I don't think so buddy. ANd if you know me so well than you sould know that I have FULL support for the military at all times. All I was trying to point out was that you have extra tax payer money. But obviously you don't view it that way. Sgatr15 |

"Sure thing, can you help me carry them to my truck?" See, cool thing about being catholic is you can do stuff like that and STILL be forgiven. ~Dg84 |

Well, since my dad is dead now it would probably be hard to get the whole complete story on how it offically happened. And this has back in the 1970's. But hey, if you want to disrespect my dad's 22 years of service then go ahead. SInce you already covered disrespecting his religion. Maybe later you can call my mother names instead of educating others about how this "budget" of your works. But whatever.......................................... Sgat1r5 |

So what happens if the Marines have a surplus of M16s, and the CO says "Just take them home with you". I'll give you a hint, Mr. BATF shows up at the persons door, tosses in a stun grenade, shoots the dog, grabs the guns, sets fire the the building, then shows the little stampings 'Property of US Government' to his boss and calls it a day. Not stolen? My ass. |
