Jesse Wade Stites
CPL USMC
Plot Section 60, Site 10488
The right location in relation to the other markers in the picture.
Lurk a lot but found this and signed up today to be able to post.
Lookie here...This rule is effective September 6, 2017. 6 months to comply.
Thank You!
Why the ‘hmmmmmmmm’/
I can’t find it now….but the Wiki is saying the same thing.
So what you are saying is that the trolls (or bots) get befuddled, or lost, or discouraged, if we respond to other Qreepers rather than to the troll himself, and they lose out on satisfaction or personal gain?
Might be the best tactic for us to express disgust re: the posts to each other, without gratifying the trolls.
Also, note they have been absent on this thread - “they were warned”, and JimRob “has it all”... :)
"On July 29, 2010 Metzler testified before the SHSGA and took responsibility for much of the problems at the cemetery, but also assigned some blame to staff and budget cutbacks. Higginbotham declined to answer questions from the committee, citing the 5th Amendment, and was dismissed from the proceeding.[25] SHSGA member Claire McCaskill stated that up to 6,600 gravesites at the cemetery could be mislabeled or improperly marked.[26]"
Unbelievable, thousands of mis-marked graves. This looks like more than sloppy record keeping. This stinks.

Amen and Amen
Cpl. Stites seems to be a slow starter?
Airlift support for the US Air Force Academy cadet parachuting program is provided by three UV-18B aircraft which carry a pilot, copilot and up to 17 jumpers. These Twin Otters are the only three owned by the Air Force. In the MSAG Antenna Test and Evaluation conducted 25-31 August 1998 in Marina CA, the NPS/CIRPAS UV-18A Twin Otter provided the surrogate UAV function during a test and evaluation of the MSAG ITT Antenna under development by the Joint Projects Office. Imagery from the Twin Otter was received by the multi- source capable antenna based at the CIRPAS facility in Marina. In the Alaska Army National Guard the UV-18As have been replaced by the C-23B+.

and:
Because the DeHavilland DHC-6 Twin Otter is a highly maneuverable aircraft which can be flown slowly (80-160 knots/150-300 km/hr) and in tight circles, these aircraft are considered extremely versatile survey airplanes....

Thanks for the expanded data, Enigo54!
"In 2011, U.S. Army auditors discovered $27 million in unspent funds at Arlington National Cemetery. By January 2012, $15 million of the unspent funds had been accounted for, but another $12 million — authorized and appropriated between 2004 and 2010 — could not be found. The amount was roughly equivalent to one quarter of the cemetery's 2011 annual budget. Army auditors said they could not explain how such a large amount of money could have gone missing.[42]"
" Senator Claire McCaskill, speaking at a Senate committee oversight hearing, said that the money had not been embezzled but had gone missing through "incompetence ... gross incompetence."
Sure Clair... why should I doubt your words?

Well, not anymore, apparently.
Generally, I would take a trolls post to say, you, and reply to that post only using your name in the to line while removing the troll’s name.
Confuses them and disallows payment if being paid by “hits”.
I learned that last one from humblegunner.
“””Ahhhhhh love those Nerds!
#NoHomo”””
Ditto, after I began to understand how their furniture was arranged in their house, and how they’ve assigned meanings to words that don’t necessarily line up to common usage(on purpose). I’m still in “lurk moar” mode there.
I remain #NoHomo
All credit to The Nerds, I only report what seems important!
Same here.
In the Corps, avg to Cpl is 26 months. Don’t know how long he was one, he could easily be above average. If he was working for crewchief, he would be ahead of the game. 53E is a complicated machine. Perosnally I hate it although when it works, there is nothing like it but more guys I knew have been morted in that airframe than all the rest of the Corps inventory combined.
thanks. I saw that. Plus the name is Jesse W on the marker.
All the other names on that large marker also point to that large marker.
They died 01/2012 but weren’t interred there until 10/2013
Jesse Wade Stites is the only Jesse Wade in arlington that I could find.
FWIW...My family plot has a plot marker with the all the names buried in the plot (about 30 graves some are buried on top of each other).
Each individual also has their own specific gravestone. Married relatives have both names on a larger gravestone.
The obscured gravestone in POTUS photo appears to have a 3rd line name and some of the etchings visible appear to match.
I also don’t see that large marker in any of the photos I could find during the POTUS visit.
Could individual markers be behind the large marker ?
An earlier post recommended for some one to go to arlington and check because the name is obscured. That would put this to bed.
Add to it that E-5 avg is 4.8 years. The Cpl seems to have been on track.
