What "bad ending"? I remained in the Active USAR with a Top Secret/Compartmented clearance for six years after the end of the CID investigation, until I decided to retire in 1994. Throughout and subsequent to the CID scam, all of my Officer Efficiency Reports were unbroken "1"-ratings, and upon my retirement I was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for the previous 10-year period. I remain today a Lt. Colonel, USAR-Ret, and when I reach age 60 will collect full USAR retirement benefits. I am a Life or Honorary member of several Regiments & military specialty associations. So I am quite content. Would I have been "more content" to have continued to full Colonel or General? Of course, and if the "Satanic hysteria", a getrichquick Army chaplain, and Senator Helms had not interfered with the 1980s, I probably would have. [The Army got along just fine with my Church of Satan/Temple of Set credentials 1969-1987, after all, and the Senior Service College (ICAF) I had just completed - as the only USAR officer in the nation for the 1987 class - is a General-producing career selection.] But it didn't work out that way, and "life is what happens to you while you're making other plans". You deal with it as best you can; then you go on. > [Craig Hunt]: while I was a mere enlisted man, I never > got myself dipped in dogshit with the Army, and I was > rated as a good soldier.

According to his Temple of Set records, Hunt served for 2-1/2 years in the 82d Airborne Division before finishing his 4-year enlistment in Korea. The 82d is an elite unit - the only Airborne division in the Army - which of course requires Paratrooper qualification, and I know from personal experience that you don't stay in it if you're not an exceptional soldier. [I spent my first year as a 2Lt. (1968) in the 1/17 Cavalry Squadron of the 82d.] > [Craig Hunt]: do you [SS] just feel the need to slavishly > prostrate yourself to the "Pharaoh" ... Mr. Silvers has not asked either the Temple of Set or myself personally for any favors whatever. Michael A. Aquino
