Military Phony has been in contact with Jesse Major, the reporter who did the original story<\/a> about ‘Alaska Bob’ in the Peninsula Daily News.<\/p>\n

They are ready to go with the story and he did say that he confirmed that the NPRC documents that MP\/TAH posted are indeed authentic.<\/p>\n

The only thing he is waiting for at this point – Kelly, Bob’s friend, has assured Major that Bob is mailing him his DD-214 that shows he was in Vietnam and Cambodia.\u00a0 He is also mailing a signed release form so that the newspaper can obtain the DD-214 directly from the NPRC to authenticate it.<\/p>\n

As a side note – I don’t know how any DD-214 can confirm somebody was in Cambodia unless it lists Cambodia as an assignment.\u00a0 Lord knows we’ve seen that before.\u00a0 Vietnam should list appropriate medals.<\/p>\n

The interesting thing with all of this is that Bob is saying nothing<\/strong> but the newspaper really wants a quote from him.\u00a0 Kelly is doing all the talking for Bob, including issuing the promise that the documents are on the way.<\/p>\n

So, the newspaper is waiting… and waiting.\u00a0 I think they may have to rely on the mail being carried over the rugged Alaskan mountains by yaks, but it will eventually arrive in Port Angeles Washington for all those waiting in anticipation.<\/p>\n

At that point, we will construct a TAH group apology to ‘Alaska Bob’ and Kelly and have everyone sign it.\u00a0 *COUGH*\u00a0 That is, of course, if the DD-214 does in fact arrive and exhonorates him.<\/p>\n

So, the reporter is only going to wait a little longer and may eventually move forward with the article without the alleged DD-214 and\/or Bob’s comment on this fiasco.<\/p>\n

We’re getting close.\u00a0 This is exciting!\u00a0 It’s like playing an online game of virtual chicken.\u00a0 Who’s going to blink first?\u00a0 Is Kelly going to be holding the proverbial bag?\u00a0 Is Bob going to hibernate in the mountains of Alaska and never make any more trips?<\/p>\n

By the way, many have asked to see photos of Bob at the Vietnam Wall.\u00a0 Not too much to ask considering that it appears to have been paid for by those same people that are asking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
