Are you on medication? I don’t know how you managed to find a way to turn this simple exchange into a monstrous injustice against you.

No one is trolling you in this simple exchange about Reagan and Carter’s military service.

You thought that Reagan was in the “artillery” and he wasn’t.

You seem mistaken about Rickover and Carter as well **I wish Carter had made it into the Nuke program just long enough for Rickover to have yanked a half hitch in his arse and pulled it so tight he walked leaned right for life LOL.**

You keep going on, and on, and on, about Rickover and Carter, but Rickover handpicked Carter for his nuke sub program.

“When Admiral Hyman G. Rickover (then a captain) started his program to create nuclear powered submarines, Carter wanted to join the program and was interviewed by Rickover. On 1 June 1952, Carter was promoted to Lieutenant. Selected by Rickover, Carter was detached on 16 October 1952 from K-1 for duty with the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, Division of Reactor Development in Schenectady, New York. From 3 November 1952 to 1 March 1953, he served on temporary duty with the Naval Reactors Branch, U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, Washington, DC to assist “in the design and development of nuclear propulsion plants for naval vessels.” From 1 March to 8 October, Carter was preparing to become the engineering officer for the nuclear power plant to be placed in USS Seawolf (SSN 575), one of the first submarines to operate on atomic power. He assisted in setting up training for the enlisted men who would serve on Seawolf. During this time his father became very sick and died in July 1953. After his father’s death in 1953, Carter resigned from the Navy to return to Georgia to manage the family interests. Carter was honorably discharged on 9 October 1953”


Reagan wasn’t artillery, and Carter was handpicked by Rickover for nuke subs.

There you go again. Reagan was initially an Army reservist ASSIGNED TO AN ARTILLERY UNIT in the ARMY Reserves. He likely even drilled with them on fire mission trainings. I did in my unit. I did a year Army NG stint in an Artillery unit.

Look it up about Reagan.. Troll. I did. I posted his vision made staying in that unit impossible. I posted he then transferred did I not TROLL? Of course I did.

Again your same tactics and you are trying your nonsense on others on this thread too who think Obama is wrong to send troops into Africa. So which do you love and support more Obama or Carter? Wanna play games there's you one right back in your face Troll.

By Carter being in Nuke Program I meant an actual "Qualified and Deployed" crewmember which he never was. He would have had to passed while onboard O.R.E. and P.E.B. or it's equivalent for nuke propulsion which is done at sea. You're spoiling for a fight. Get Lost.

Two sources of Reagan's service. If he wasn't Artillery his vision would not have mattered as much. Heck I got in the Navy and Army NG with only one eye functional vision.
