He says that Ham Radio-dom is rifr with phonies, but that one, Whitney Veon Tritch is a real humdinger. He sends us this email that Tritch sent to someone else as an introduction;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Here is a brief self portrait of myself: I enlisted in the 80&#8217;s and went west, way west. I jumped out of many different aircraft 167 times and have 32 1\/2 kills (the 1\/2 is an assist) on active duty. I have saved more lives than I can honestly remember. I was disabled via and unfortunate combat related accident. I went to combat as a civilian and have 2 kills and a few saved lives as well as a piece of shrapnel that was removed from my leg. I am combat wounded from the military and as a civilian! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Someone else tells of the time they met Tritch;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hi. He told me at a meeting&#8230;that he \u201cwas on a submarine in a place we weren\u2019t supposed to be, and I was shot in the head.\u201d  He didn\u2019t give any other info and I didn\u2019t ask, since I didn\u2019t believe him anyway.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess the guys on the submarine got tired of his bullshit stories and shot him? During one of his 167 parachute assaults or his 32 1\/2 kills. Or maybe while he was saving lives between all of those escapades. And the amazing thing is that he did all of that stuff at Fort Indiantown Gap, PA. Cuz that&#8217;s the only place he&#8217;s ever been, according to the Army;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Tritch-2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Tritch-2-1-300x87.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Tritch 2-1\" width=\"300\" height=\"87\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-31073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Tritch-2-1-300x87.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Tritch-2-1.jpg 893w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d think that someone would notice some of his 32 1\/2 kills in Pennsylvania.
