The grace of your last post, quoted here, warrants an apology.

Miss, I apologize to you. You're right: I don't know what it is like to be a dependent. I should not have spoken to you with the disdain I did, and I am sorry.

Thank you for your husband's service, and thank you for being there for him in that service.

My humble apologies,

Richard

Second that.

Had to read the small print to find out why the thext I had wanted to answer to (along your lines, actually) suddenly was different from what I had remembered...

Here's something to consider about the unbanning of pets.
- Who's going to clean the crap that gets unaccounted for?
- What about people who are allergic to dogs, cats and other animals?
- What about the folks who have to live there who don't like the odor that certain animals make?
- Maybe there are a lot of families with children there and dogs can pose a danger to them (I don't really understand people who insist on having gigantic dogs that eat more than the owner... maybe an ego/inferiority thing).
So at the end of the day, the petition is very selfish.
Why should several households be inconvenienced because someone wants to keep their dog?

Sure, I owned dogs as pets as well and it was good fun and a good learning experience but some people take it way too far.
Remember back in Rwanda when they were evacuating foreigners? I remember watching them take their dogs while PEOPLE were being left to get slaughtered by machettes. It's something I won't easily forget. If I was in charge, I would have never allowed a single dog to get evacuated out of some RESPECT for those who were not rescued.

Moral of the story: the world doesn't revolve around you.

Exactly......get our ass off base and find a place to live....**** that...

Your definitely, not military material....stop your ****en whining and get over it...

Wow I am not really sure where to start with this thread hell I am not even sure I want to be involved in it but I really do have a hard time understanding the hostility here, as I see it she is not asking you to personally go out and change the policy and there is no "demand" that the policy be changed nor can I see that she is whining about anything all I see is a request to support a change in policy and you have the choice to either support it or not to but instead most of you go all emo and attack the woman.

Seriously folks this is nothing more than a simple request for change done through fairly open channels that may or may not get the support it needs to pass.

Still in the end it isn't my problem, to the original poster good luck with your campaign and to the rest of you if change is that much of a threat to you perhaps a move to a less civilian/democratic dominated location would be more to your liking.

She reminds me of everyone who's ever lit up in a non smoking restaurant.

It's because the military has become me, me, me. With younger members and their dependants. They think that they have it soooooo bad. They ain't got a freakin clue. And pisses some of us off.

Must get one hell of a work out jumping to conclusions.

Care to draw some parallel between an individual trying to get a petition to allow dogs in military housing so she can keep her family pets by joining a predominantly military orientated forum and the people lighting up in a non-smoking restaurant?

Just saying, she's being really self centered and I can imagine why a housing system on base would not allow pets but somehow she can't seem to do so.

Sort of like how in a way one can imagine why a restaurant wouldn't allow smoking but someone's going to light one up anyway seeing it is their "right."
