AP scoop: Why Alvin Greene was discharged from the Air Force
HotAir ^ | July 22, 2010 | Allahpundit

We already knew it was an honorable discharge, but he had consistently refused to tell the press why. Just one of the many mysteries to date surrounding him, along with the, er, unpleasantness in that college computer lab.

Well, the mystery’s now solved. Turns out he had a problem with … performing basic duties.

Greene is “usually capable of handling mundane tasks with supervision” but is “not able to adapt to any changes to daily routine,” the reviewer wrote, also noting that Greene had received multiple disciplinary actions for failing to perform his duties.

Greene was also written up for posting sensitive information on a military Internet server, a mistake that resulted in a three-day work stoppage. Records showed Greene was kept at Shaw while the rest of his unit deployed after leadership “recognized his inability to contribute to the wartime mission.”…

The reviewer also wrote Greene “required a daily to-do list” to perform basic duties and had a “consistent inability to follow instructions or maintain basic job knowledge.” Most seriously, the reviewer wrote that Greene would represent “a threat to others” because of his inability to grasp the basics of military training.

There are alot of people in the Air Force like that though (I spent twenty-two years in the service and saw this weekly with various folks). You’d think that sufficient testing would occur and you’d weed these guys out in basic.

So it reads that Alvin Green is a ...Post Turtle. Poor guy reached the pinnacle of his ability when he enlisted and every day after that, someone carried him.

At one point, after the mistake with the military server, they moved him to the department that handles … weapons of mass destruction (albeit, supposedly, only to perform mundane tasks). Greene’s response to the poor reviews? Quote: “I’m telling you who they promote: the terrorists and the communists. This is why we need to overhaul the military and get these people out.” Which, of course, is a vile lie. It’s only terrorists who occasionally get promoted.

An inept screw-up? Moved to the WMD department?

Classic.

Who do they think this guy is? Homer Simpons as a safety inspector at a nuclear plant?

lolol

He’s dead right about promotions. And not just in the Army. Look at who America “promoted” to be the prez.

I was a Marine for 8 years late 70s mid 80s-I’d venture to say any veteran can tell similar tales. The military has, since the 1960s become a hotbed of PC, and to some extent a welfare roll for some.

Given the PC frenzy that’s only gotten worse-this guy had to be F**%ed up as a football bat to actually get discharged.

Greene sounds exactly like I imagined; I’m adding another name to the list of politicians better qualified to serve in our White House than the current socialist.

“consistent inability to follow instructions or maintain basic job knowledge.”

In the USMC, we had an acronym for this condition: ITEC Inability to Expend Efforts Constructively. There were too many who were unable or unwilling to meet our standards, so this was their out of the USMC. Good Riddance.

Greene, Shirrod, Obama, Rangel, Jefferson, Conyers, Clyburn, Van Jones, Wright, Farrakhan, the NAACP, the CBC, etc.......What a group!!! I feel sadness, sorrow and utter despair for the millions upon millions of America loving, loyal and patriotic Black citizens and their children that will suffer non-deserved injustices for the hate spewed by these individual socialists and communists!!! What a crying shame!!!
