Announcer "This young QB is under a ton of pressure..........." Statements like really gets too me. Pressure is a young riflemen that's been shitting in a cathole for two weeks then one day there is group of guys walking towards him. Shoot or not that's pressure

Nothing like convoluted rules of engagement to help drive that. Guys who are not you, and not "obviously " friendly should be fired up. You shouldn't have to wait to get shot at to return fire, or worse or not.

C2. CHAPTER 2
MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE FOR OSHA-REGULATED EXPOSURES
C2.1. INTRODUCTION
C2.1.1. History
C2.1.1.1. With the establishment of OSHA in 1970, the Federal Government
began to mandate the basic elements of medical surveillance for a number of chemical
and physical stressors in the workplace. Beginning in the early 1970s, the list has now
grown to more than 20 individually regulated stressors. Two Executive Orders (E.O.)
defined the relationship of OSHA regulations to the Department of Defense
workforce. E.O. 11807 (1974) placed Federal employees under the Occupational
Health and Safety Act (reference (k)). This Order was later revoked by E.O. 12196
(1980) (reference (l)) that exempted active duty military personnel and uniquely military
equipment, systems, and operations. Many of the initial OSHA regulations (reference
(k)) are for carcinogens that are rarely found in the Department of Defense workplaces
today.

Their are good professional players that give back to their families, neighbor, charities or organizations they started and remain under the radar. There are those that do what is expected by their organization. They make good money from their contracts, endorsements and VIP status. None of which was included in my AF compensation package.

Comparing the NFL to military services like comparing apples and eggs! The only similarity is that we both wear a uniform.

The NFL... National Felons League... Is Nothing Like the Military...
The Players are Over Paid Over rated and If they Had to deal with the daily grind of the Military ... The Real Military and Not the Crap On the Reality TV... they would and could Not Hang...
The NFL Players are little more Than Sports Mercenaries... they Go the Big Bucks...

I can't believe someone would compare the plight of an NFL player to an American soldier. This is disrespectful in so many ways. An NFL player is concerned about getting paid and winning a superbowl period. If they want to be compared to soldiers how about setting up a couple gun nests up in the stands and see who steps up to carry the rock. Let them tote a rifle into a combat zone and stand a post on the frontier of freedom before they even deserve a mention. One is an entertainer, the other a patriot preserving the rights of freedom for their nation. Athletes versus trained combat predators, there is no comparison. Hit the field and squat for the National Anthem while the US Military defends your right to do so! Go make your millions football players but don't demean the existence of those that give you the right to do so by comparing your so called sacrifices to theirs.

Good Points. I agree with all of them SSG Sharp. My post was not directed at the differences. I was more interested in similarities of a tough occupation Military and NFL the roughest of the sports basically, that leaves many behind injured with TBI etc etc, with support systems VA or equivalent for NFL, underfunded mismanaged etc etc. How many times does the VA need to be Congressional Hearings for some negative administrative issue collecting paychecks while injured ill SM Vets are suffering the consquence. I do not think it is a lack of money. It is a lack of care of the reality of the outcome of the stress put on SM. It may not be a popular glamorous topic. Screw NFL guys who would sit in protest, then when off TV, doing things they don't want the TV to see, and not be in the game doing something proactive to change things that they see needs improvement and change those things for the better. Thanks For Your Service

NOPE!!! We are a band of brothers and sisters- the N.F.L. stands for Not For Long- especially after that Colon Kaeper nick B.S. I am so over the NFL, and let's put this into perspective folks, they chase a ball up and down a field for crying out loud! Tell the quarterback to do that in boots, utes, flack jacket, helmet, A.L.I.C.E. pack, and with a weapon, then we can talk!

GySgt Melissa Gravila - What forum would you suggest by the way?? Maybe I am unsure what that means. Personally to be honest I had a very unique military resume story history based on enlistment package and units served, that left me in quite the bind in various ways, that I am still unraveling, compared other sailors. Still I am a United States Military Veteran served Honorably and Proudly in the rough seas. I hope for calmer seas, but currently I am still very much reliving the memories of and the result of these rough seas. I need a bit of understanding from community beyond the rambo approach of being invincible being able wake up eat bullets for breakfast then defeating 1 army by himself by lunch, and defeating a 2nd Army by himself by dinner, and calmly fall asleep, and do it again and again...you know the perfect soldier impervious to reality...impervious to injury even fighting gun ships and various Armies...

A bit of humor I suppose..but I finally learned I can think I am Rambo in a Navy Uniform..but infact I am not impervious .... my brain blanked out..and I ended up a broken man...trying to forget things living in a car angry and hypervigilant ..and my mom had to watch me goin to this sad demented place..and as we all know our famillies pay the cost..our loved ones take the damage...it is not so cool....


I know our military family is better then this. Our ideals instilled in bootcamp are so much more altruistic then this reality that happens to many vets..

I want to get better..I really do...

PO3 Aaron Hassay - I understand EXACTLY what you are going through and saying my friend. If it wasn't for my husband, God only knows where I would be right now. Message Col Mikel Burroughs, I'm not sure what geographical area you are in, but he does have a Skype group that meets on Thursdays if you are interested. Also, I don't know the details, if you became disabled through your military service at all, you can become a member of the DAV. I am the JAG/Adjutant for my chapter. We fight for out vets to get them the benefits they deserve. And always, if you want somebody to talk to, I'm here- and on FB I will ALWAYS listen

PO3 Aaron Hassay One, let one nfl player try to live on the salary of an enlisted person with an equal number of years in service, then this can be a discussion. Two, NFL players have a union that ensures a proper level of pampering and sharing of profits. Service members have not had a real raise, not "cost of living adjustment" but RAISE for how long? Three, if an NFL player's career is ended on the field, they return to their family, and start over. Service Member's who career is ended on the field are very likely receiving a military funeral while the family tries to pick up the pieces. Four, when an NFL player is "deployed" they are flying first class with equipment managers to carry their gear, and staying in luxury hotels. When a service member is deployed, they get MREs and (if they are lucky) porta shitters. That is just beginning to scratch at the surface.

No, Military Service is not similar to playing in the NFL. I think the best and simplest example is what we call each...soldier, Marine, sailor and airman or player. While the football PLAYER is playing a game, the soldiers, Marines, sailors and airmen are not playing games, they are dealing in life and death...the sad commentary is how much We as a Nation pay each?
