Malden Boy Scout uncovers history: D’Entremont compiles data on the 40 soliders buried in Bell Rock Cemetery for Eagle … (Malden Observer) – A little piece of history has found its way from obscure records to a comprehensive binder thanks to local Boy Scout Cory D’Entremont.
One of the great selling points for convincing young people to join the military is the health care benefit packages that come with membership in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or the United States Coast Guard. The health care coverage options will include the service member and every member of the immediate family. While on active duty, the services will be provided by medical facilities on base, or at military hospitals that are located throughout the world.
The military provides health insurance at no cost to the service member throughout their enlistment in the armed forces. Health care coverage for dependents is very generous and dental coverage plans are available. Physicians who have joined the military provide the treatment needed by officer’s and enlisted personnel. These physicians will become part of the medical staff that are stationed onboard Navy vessels, or at medical facilities that are strategically placed in foreign lands.
A doctor and a US veteran are currently being held under the surveillance of Philippine authorities in connection with the scam that victimized an American military health insurance programme.
Lawyer Claro de Castro, chief of the National Bureau of Investigation’s Interpol division, stated extradition cases are coursed through the Department of Justice (DOJ). He explained once the DOJ approves an extradition request a warrant of arrest will be issued and the NBI will serve it.
- (Washington Post) – WASHINGTON — Military inspectors are racing to examine 90,000 U.S.-run facilities in Iraq with the goal of repairing electrical problems before more troops are electrocuted or shocked while showering or using appliances.
- (The Daily Tribune) – The counsel for former Capt. Candelaria Rivas, who was dismissed from the military service by a court martial for harboring then fugitive Marine Capt.

CorruptionDee asked:
Allow me to elaborate. Back in 2002, when I was 21 years old, I was serving in the US Army. Although stressful at first, I was handling everything just fine until things started to fall apart back home. Obviously, with several traumatic events occurring back home, I started to fall apart, since I was still very young, and stationed far away from home. Like anyone else, I spoke with the post psychologist for advice. I kept seeing him and telling him how I felt, until I was finally given an Honorable discharge after 16 months of service. He was straight forward, and said that he didn’t think the Army life was right for me, because of my acute depression at the time (I never had a history of depression). I agreed and was discharged honorably. The problem is that I was discharged under AR 635-200, Para 5-13, where the narrative on the DD 214 is “Personality Disorder”. To make a long story short, I despise this narrative because not only is it grossly inaccurate, but completely false as well. Just because someone is suffering from depression and can’t cope with the rigid Army lifestyle as well, doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with them. These types of narratives cause people to prejudge you, because the first thing that comes to people’s minds when they hear “personality disorder” is crazy. I’m completely sane, and always have been. I don’t have a shred of depression or disciplinary problems, especially in the civilian world.
