Her phrasing of "accepted into OCS" is very, very odd. She never says "graduated." She never says that she served as an officer. Not providing the DD-214 is concerning.

[TexasGurl24]

This might be the answer as to why Trump endorsed Oz.

[Jan_Sobieski]

OCS was no cakewalk back in the day. Many female soldiers failed out because their bodies couldn’t handle the heat/rigor/sleep deprivation. I wouldn’t hold this against her if she is conservative.

The most conservative candidate with a chance is who she ie.

[Nextrush]

Its a down and dirty situation right now. I still intend to vote Barnette on Tuesday here in PA.

[enumerated]

Maybe she didn’t graduate and is stating her record honestly. Would you rather she tell a Biden and say she did?

[EEGator]

Serving in the Turkish Army is concerning.
Holding dual citizenship is concerning.
Your wife’s family’s company paying $95 million in fines is concerning.
Especially when the fine is for knowingly firing thousands and thousands of illegal aliens…
Living in NJ is concerning.

I would post my DD Form 214 on line with my ssn, and one duty station blacked out if I were running for office.

I have my own concerns about her, but I won't hesitate to vote for her in the general election if she wins the GOP primary.

1. She may have the weakest resume of any political candidate I've seen in recent years. "Political commentator for Fox News" isn't a real job.

2. She has never held elected office in her life. That would be a point in her favor (see Trump, Donald as a perfect example of why this is often a GOOD thing), but only if she's had a successful career outside politics. On that count ... (A) see #1 above; and (B) she ran once for Congress in 2020 in a suburban district she would have to carry if she wants to win a statewide race, and lost.

3. I don't see how she gets much Democrat support, which is critical in a state like PA where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by almost 800,000 voters.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I'd like to vote for Barnette but I'd like her to be totally transparent about her past and resume. If she is being evasive on anything or lying, even in a small way, the mainstream media will let her be nominated and then eat her alive on the discrepancies.

[CaptainK]

The name of her husband is unknown, which is very strange.

[Maris Crane]

Something about Barnette disturbs me and I haven’t seen her enough to pinpoint it.

There are some people who want to be “liked.”
That, sometimes leads to trouble, especially in the political environment.

I think some of her supporters may be disappointed.

I don’t think that Oz cares who “likes” him.

[Chuckster]

When was she in officer candidate school?

Did she complete the course? Was she commissioned?

I was assigned to the FA OCS at Ft. Sill after I returned from RVN. It was a long time ago. My job was to test the motivation of the candidates while pretending to teach them something. (Lots of pushups). We deliberately tried to force the candidates to quit by punishing them for any - ANY infraction no matter how small.

This was considered important because, obviously, the candidates had to be highly motivated and ingenious enough to get around the rules without getting caught.

Anyone with reasonable intelligence and physical fitness could get IN to the OC Program. I want to know if she FINISHED or not, especially since I know that it is a lot easier now. I was dealing with combat arms soldiers during a hot war, all men, all active duty, who would almost certainly be on their way to Vietnam shortly after graduation. More washed out than graduated then.

So, did she graduate and earn a commission or not? Being accepted is not the same as entering the program. The only thing I can assume is that she tried and failed or did not bother to actually attend.

[Wilderness Conservative]

If she wins she will be in the DS Swamp Club within 6 months. Which btw is better than her opponents who are already members.

KATHY BARNETTE wishes she was in Minneapolis to “honor GEORGE FLOYD” and JOIN the BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTS. Knock yourself out Kathy! After you LOSE you can volunteer and protest for “Racial Justice” with Mitt Romney and Adam Kinzinger and AL SHARPTON. pic.twitter.com/jOrRcLEw5E— Greg Kelly (@gregkellyusa) May 11, 2022

I just saw this on the Q thread.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Not all that unusual for someone to apply for OCS, get accepted, then ultimately decide against the commitment and get out. As long as she didn’t claim to be an officer, I don’t see the issue.

[conservative98]

The Democrats in Pennsylvania are living this. An Unvetted supporter of black lives matter and George Floyd protests who claims to be conservative has NO CHANCE Of winning the general election. The left is cheating her in. Nobody knows who this person is!

[lightman]

Pennsylvania Ping!

GRIFTERS have "nothing to lose" --they come and go and scam and are "OUTTA HERE" and then move on to their next SCAM. (See Kathy Barnett)
