Guys,
I'm not military but this thread from APC was very interesting.



Gents -

On the BaseOps.net forum, there is a discussion about an American Eagle F/O who appears in the April ALPA Magazine. In the article he claims to be a F-16 pilot in the NJ ANG.

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any evidence that he actually is one.

Ordinarily, this wouldn't be a reason for discussion, except for the fact that this particular F/O appears as the feature in a column titled "ALPA Code Of Ethics ROLE MODEL".

I did a little Google-snooping last night and, indeed, there appear to be some holes in this F/O's claim. I do not want to question a man's integrity if he is straight-up, so I'm hoping that someone here can help provide some additional info to validate his story.

Can anyone help shed any light on this? Any Jersey Guard dudes here?

The thread on BaseOps has a scan of the ALPA article, as well as the discussion that calls some of Mr Martins' claims into question.
