What is your 9/11 Expertise?

Not much for me, I'm afraid.

Just a BA in History.

Did spend Freshman year studying engineering, though (a lot of it has stuck with me, even seeping into some of my history papers...heh).
 
If you want to know general education.

MFA in Theatre Arts. Tech degree in Television Production. Former News Videographer.
 
I'm going to repost the lists shortly; if anyone else wants to be added post here or PM me.

Note that this is an equal-opportunity list: you don't have to subscribe to any particular point of view to be included.

fitzgibbon|
  1. No flight experience but I've been in television production for 25 years, initially as a cameraman (studio and field) for 8 years (before deciding that I didn't much appreciate shooting in inclement weather) and the time since as a freelance editor. Most of what I've done has been for specialty networks (HGTV, Life, etc.) as well as a couple of documentaries. I've also cut short films, one of which was at Sundance in 2004. I think I can add to the already deep bench-strength here on video analysis. I also have a working understanding of basic metalurgy through a summer spent working for a heat-treating company and, having passed high school physics back in the day, retain enough to know that the twoofers haven't a clue about what they're talking about.

  • My particular interest in stopping hysterical nonsense stems from my having spent a lot of time at Indian Lake, right next to the shanksville area (that's where most of the skydiving took place). There were also a few great golf weekends there. I feel a certain kindred with the people that live there and have some familiarity of the lay of the land as it looks from the air. Obviously my pet peeve is troothers who make outrageous claims about Flight 93, and the disrespect they show for the families of the victims and the recovery and investigative teams that had to face and deal with the crash scene.
  • Other than that, I just enjoy watching kooks getting proved wrong everytime they open their mouths.

Summary of JREF poster's military credentials

Not changed since last posting; re-posted so it is next to the non-military list.

Changes:
  • 26-Jul-2007 Added Hal Bidlack, Nim Chimpsky, Hunstman, and Hans. Stripped down rank table.
  • 27-Jul-2007 Added ARubberChickenWithAPulley, VanillaCone, Lanzy, MortFurd, Thitical Crinker, and Darth Rotor. Converted pay grade table to two columns. Added advice to submitters.
  • 16-Oct-2007 Added Clutch, Garrette, defaultdotxbe, Digest, and USAFMXOfficer. Now posting in the "What is your 9/11 Expertise?" thread.
  • 27-Nov-2007 Corrected errors in Huntsman & leftysergeant's names.

Note: The data in this list is not verified, and is soley based on information posted in this thread. Likewise, the posters listed have not been check; banned, inactive, or otherwise obsolete posters may still be included.
In other words, caveat lector.

Counts in the following table are by pay grade. Not all posters listed are members of the U.S. forces, and some that are have not provided full rank details, so the total of the counts is not equal to the number of posters listed.

This table was originally posted in a different thread; however, I felt it was probably better to post both tables in this thread.

Putting your posting in a format similar to this will make pasting it into the list easier. Leave out pay grade if it isn't applicable; put not specified if you want something else left out.

  • *High-year tenure is when you get discharged from military service because you have not attained a certain rank by a certain time period. In my case it was that I did not attain E-5 by 10 years. I actually did attain E-5, but I got out of the Navy as an AT and came back as an HM. When I did that, they brought me back as an E-4 and not E-5. I only had two chances to make rank and, obviously, didn't do it. It's still an honorable discharge and they gave me $25,000 for breaking my contract. Not only that, but I am from Illinois and the state is paying 100% of my tuition; plus I am getting GI Bill. Pretty sweet.

I also spent time as the Special Projects Officer and the Brigade Public Affairs Officer before leaving active duty. Oh, and while I was on active duty, I went to Bahrain where I sustained the injury that allows me to claim the title disabled veteran.

  • in active duty and the Nat'l Guard. Best MLRS FDC computer operator of my time. I once ran our battery fire control out of the back of a Hummer with nothing but a map board, flashlight, and two radios for four days in Korea as an E-3, and had the best fire rate in the battalion. Duty stations were Ft. Sill, Ft. Bragg, and Camp Essayons, Korea, but also spent some time at 29 Palms, Ft. Benning, White Sands, and a host of other locations. Also did a tour of Robin Sage - that rocked. Field-tested the FDDM and the AFATDS during the end of my tour. But I never got a chance to go to promotion board - because Sgts don't operate the fire direction systems once they're Sgts. I don't mind though - they paid me $14 grand when I left.
  • Also, only person in my battalion certified on EVERY piece of communications and computer hardware and software (which hurt them badly when I left); qualified on personal and crew weapons as well as the Automatic Grenade Launcher. What a weapon! And somehow served all those years and never once drove a stick-shift...

Those are your current credentials, Garb; if you read the lists people have all sorts of things listed as credentials. So I've added you.
 
My expertise is that I can read, I have 2 eyes.

The NIST report is nothing but a predetermined conclusion worked backwards.

The 9/11 (c)ommission was not a truly independent investigation. There were conflicts of interests.

Still wondering why Bush, Cheney, Clinton et all, were not put under oath, no transcripts, no media, no minutes kept (ones that have been presented to the public anyway).

No matter what your expertise is, these things either point to criminal negligence and/or complicity.

Either case = a 9/11 Conspiracy! Case Closed! Re-open the investigation!
 
Wow, I feel honored to be typing words into the same intertube as you guys and gals!

ETA2: I'm not going to put the "qualifications" Gravy posted in. I don't think those are quite, um, correct.
