Is it possible to request Joe's military records?

[CorradoSoprano4]

This has to be investigated. I am tired of reading this buffoons ridiculous Facebook posts where he acts like he stormed Normandy on d-day while he was peeling potatoes during peacetime.

Somebody did a FOIA request on the sub but I don't think there ever was an update.

There were a couple of attempts, iirc. Though nothing comes to mind as to what the results were.

One thing is certain - he has never been close to combat, because if he had something concrete to bring up he wouldn't be able to keep quiet about it for a second. By keeping it vague he can avoid being called a liar yet still imply he's a tough guy who's been through some shit.

Joe was a "Cold War Veteran"

He was honorably discharged after the Military went with the Metcalfe series

I contacted Don Shipley and he gave me a resource that filed a request. Here's the last update I got after first starting this in April of 2020:


Due to the increase in Covid-19 transmission, the National Personnel Records Center is operating at a reduced capacity. As of January 6, 2022, the NPRC has reduced its on-site staffing to 25 percent of its pre-pandemic level.


We regret to inform you that due to the pandemic and a severely decreased workforce, we are unable to fulfill your request at this time. Since the onset of the pandemic, we have focused all available resources on responding to requests for veteran’s benefits like medical emergencies, aid and attendance, and final military honors. However, there remains a substantial backlog of these requests and to ensure that the needs of our veterans and their families are met, we are unable to provide responses to non-emergency requests for records that do not meet that criteria.

At this time we do not know when we will be accepting non-emergency requests for records. Please understand that we are working hard to respond to the backlog of requests so we can once again serve our research community.


Please do not respond to this email. Instead, continue to monitor our website at www.archives.gov/st-louis for the most up-to-date information and announcements regarding our status and availability to accept non-emergency requests.



We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding.


From what I have been told by the head archivist, Scott Levins:

" ...NARA is also partnering with the Department of Veterans Affairs to establish an alternate facility for the servicing of requests involving paper records and to digitize NPRC holdings and make them available to NPRC staff for remote servicing. Our goal is to eliminate the backlog by the end of FY 22."

Until they catch up on the 500,000+ request BACKLOG, and have their workfoce back at 100%, we are not allowed to file new FOIA's for records! The above note came in last week - on an request we made in Feb 2020

Been playing the waiting game for almost 2 years

My guess is Joe flunked out of basic training. That's why we have the one portrait photo and nothing else. Joe would be the kind of nigger to commit show up to his high school reunion in full dress uniform to commit some stolen valor -- until a real vet smokes him out -- but Joe can't do that because he never graduated!

 

[Dani's Thick Legsters]

This is an emergency. Joe posting is on its last lifeline and we need something to laugh at.

Maybe this will be the saving grace in 3 years when Pat dies of a heart attack

 

[Sputnik]

What if we call a truce with Pat and use his black hat hacking squad to get joes records. It could be his way to satiate the sub without ever admitting he was wrong.

One of the funnier things is, I guess when joe was in, you didn't even have to commit to a 4-year enlistment.

He said he was in for only 3 years lol

I'm sure his DD214 wouldn't show anything abnormal, he was just a dude in the Army during peacetime for 3 years, which is cool, but he needs to chill the fuck out on FB and maybe not make every piece of his wardrobe Airborne related

Although, knowing Joe it is odd he never posted it to DESTROY the h8rs

The army actually does 2 year active duty contracts today. For every year less than 4, you just have to add a year in the reserves.

My uncle who joined in the early 80s actually signed up for 4 but was let go after 3 because there was literally nothing to fucking do in the Cold War years so they just started letting people leave, so that was also possible in that era.

I knew you could re-up for a couple years, but they offer initial enlistments of just 2 years now?

Army offering 2-year enlistments for 91 MOSs

The Army now has two-year enlistment options for 91 military occupational specialties as a new incentive to offer prospects interested in joining its ranks.

He was kicked out for siphoning gasoline. This has been confirmed

Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Snow, commander of USAREC, said:

"We believe this shorter enlistment opportunity will appeal to young men and women who want to take some time off between high school and college

Nice referring to serving in the active duty Army as taking time off, stupid.

I remember when he was in full-on rage mode on the original reddit sub he once said he was in the car running errands but would post his old discharge papers once he got home. Needless to say he never did. Guess he was kicked out for sodomy and/or some guinea shit like loansharking or stealing food and selling it to local diners.

Joe has 0 stories about his time in airborne besides jumping out of a low altitude plane. They should've filled his parachute with silverware
