That's the same reason my post wasn't on here. I had it written in about 5 different ways last night and none of them would have passes the filters. It was uncalled for, I can only hope what he typed wasn't his meaning. :no:
Ugh! Berryman in trouble again

I served in the military...but I didn't read the comments that way. i think he meant in the more positive sense.
I think some of you are being a little harsh. He got kicked off an AFL2 team for non legal reasons. It seems to me that he could have just decided that it wasn't worth the 200 bucks and stopped taking it seriously. I would think he must have another full time or part time job.
I am not defending his prior activities at ISU and I understand that there could be (probably is) a pattern here. But this is not exactly a life altering situation.

To reexplain the comment:
Absolutely Palmer, you did interpret the comment correctly unlike some others. I did mean it in a positive sense. I have worked many years for the Military. Nuff said there.
Going into the military is an option for JB to get a new start.
The military is looking for more people to go into the military as recruiting is becoming more difficult. Going into the military is always an option and a chasnce for a good leadership role. The military for various reasons now take people with lower scholarship attainment (ie more high school graduates), more unstable past in order to make their current quota and maintain a volunteer army.
Sorry to all those who misinterpreted my comment intent (two of you weighed in). The choice of the word bodies was poor and a quick coment that should have said been ascertained as the word people. My comment intended nothing ewlse. Again sorry if you were one of those who assumed the worse about the comment. This happens sometimes on this website.
The military is not an option for Berryman:
a. Individuals under any form of judicial restraint(bond, probation, imprisonment, or parole).
7. Moral character. Persons entering the Armed Forces should be of good moral character. The underlying purpose of moral character enlistment standards is to minimize entrance of persons who are likely to become disciplinary cases or securityrisks or who disrupt good order, morale, and discipline. The Military Services also have a responsibility to parents who expect that their sons and daughters will not be placed into close association with persons who have committed serious offenses or whose records show ingrained delinquency behavior patterns. The Military Services are responsible for the defense of the nation and should not be viewed as a source of ehabilitation for those who have not subscribed to the legal and moral standards of society at large. Moral standards of acceptability for service are designed to disqualify the following kinds of persons:
a. Individuals under any form of judicial restraint(bond, probation, imprisonment, or parole).
b. Those with significant criminal records. Section 504 of 10 U.S.C. (reference (a)) states that, "no person...who has been convicted of a felony, may be enlisted in an Armed Force. However, the Secretary concerned may authorize exceptions in meritorious cases, for the enlistment of persons convicted of felonies."

The son of my former neighbor was accepted into the Army seven months ago; he has two felony convictions.
That is what I am hearing/reading also - some borderline recruits are being taken within the last twelve months in order to meet recruiting goals. It does give a chance to some people to turn their life around. The severeness of the crime would be taken into consideration.
