Since we have a precedence for the Sportsmanship ruling, any thoughts that we should press to have the same punishment applied to the teams that forwarded our signals last year and Purdue for not self reporting? I mean I would like to see Ohio without their head coach as well for the game.
German Autobahn, July 2012 on my Ducati 1198 280kph, so roughly 174. Had to keep my head really low as the wind sheer was trying to rip my full helmet off my head. Only managed for about 2 minutes, and then was very tired the rest of the day from all the strain on my body. Did it with 3 friends and we were all tired afterwards. I would much rather do the twisty windy roads at a much slower speed, but had to do it.
In a car it would be about 240km in a few cars while I lived there, last one being my BMW 335.
Yes, I did not think about it either, that is why they send someone to make sure it gets done. Only paperwork needing to be done to get coverage is if both parents are active duty.
Also, the country will cover him. The military is predicated on a pyramid and the lowest level should step up to take care of him. Supervisor, section commander, first sergeant, commander, etc. Someone on that base should be taking care of him in his time of need. This is the whole premise of getting someone's "6" that the military does. The president or a senator should not have to ride in on a white horse, nor should the civilian population. If the information is correct, then his unit and peers are failing him and are a disgrace to the uniform and tenets of their conviction to support each other. How could someone concentrate on a mission if they are worried their family is not taken care of. I still feel like something is being left out of the story.
I cannot imaging the pain they are going through, as I have both my boys alive. My being skeptical does not diminish my feelings for their loss...I think it is a terrible thing.
I'm a retired Air Force (22 years, 10 days, 16 hours) combat veteran. I have the same coverage the young sergeant has as long as I pay my premiums. Without the coverage, the government only covers the military member (Life insurance, medical is automatic). Everyone in the military is briefed on this and I know it is a mandatory subject every year to address with your troops.
According to SGLI, the baby is automatically covered unless both parents are active duty military. If they are both active, then one of them has a form to fill out putting the child underneath them as a dependent...then coverage is authorized from day 1. SGLI automatically covers and pays $10,000 for dependent children, even if they are still born (must weigh more than 350 grams). This also includes natural children, adopted children and step-children living in the active member's household.
While my heart goes out to them for losing their child, something is not right and we are not getting the whole story. My kids are in their late 20s and I remember filling out the paperwork after they were born to ensure they were entered into DEERs (Tracking system). Day 1, they were covered by the military, Tricare and SGLI. My youngest was at a civilian hospital and someone came and visited us the evening he was born.
I would contact the local American Legion as they are a very power force when it comes to support and donations. I sent them amessage on Facebook and advised them to seek out the local Legion to assist. If they were local, I would definitely assist a brother in arms...
What is more troubling to me is that his unit is not taking care of him. How can we count on him to concentrate on his mission if he is not sure his unit will not take care of him. Someone should take up the cause with this young Marine's supervisor, first sergeant and commander.
Great Post. If you remember during the beginning of Bo's era, several players formed a sort of loose union to protest the amount of work required to be a starter. Bo's comment to them was almost identical to RR's..."No one has a guaranteed starting position and everything is open for competition"
I'm 110% behind coach Rodriguez because I am a Michigan fan first and foremost. Is RR going to be enamored at U of M Like Fritz, Bo, Fielding??? That remains to be seen. We need to get behind the team, the team, the team. United we stand, divided we fall or e pluribus unum...these sayings mean something and have been around for a long time for a reason!
The stats are there and agree with your posting. The intangibles are hard to list...but we do need to note the skill of the O-Line and take that into consideration. I think it would be complete listing them.

You forgot Greg Mattison (University of Michigan DL) on the list... #2 Defense in the land.
I agree 100% like I said in my posts SGLI is responsible and is automatic if he is enrolled.
