Technicalities... I speak American and not very well, obviously..

Apparently some of us (or maybe just me) who currently take military leave don't rate the "Veteran's Thanks." Unless my postman cut himself on the protruding pin and tossed the letter.

Its funny..... I was an enlisted for 4 years back in the 70's, and I got a pin. I guess the Company put me in a database somewhere.

I remember when I was hired, it was a green screen question as it gave the company some sort of credit for hiring a vet. I know I put yes and I'm still waiting for my pin. :confused:

Why wouldn't "Enlisted" count towards Veteran status? It should ... it does in my book!

And ... thank you for your service


:D

I flew with a guy a few months back that just made Chief! :)

Just sayin.....that was 40 years ago. You got guys still in the Guard, taking leave who are current military. I would think that our PSP philosophy would acknowledge them.

I don't think there's anything personal about who gets the letter and the pin, and who doesn't. It's merely database errors. Nevertheless, I think it's a nice gesture. Even if it's to make up for an earlier slight, I appreciate someone trying to correct a mistake. Doesn't matter what kind of paper or the printing quality, any time you thank someone for their service, it's a good thing.

With an attitude like that, next you'll tell us that it's not the quantity or quality of the gift that counts, but the thought behind it. I'm beginning to wonder if you're really a FedEx pilot.:rolleyes:

Personally I spent 34 years serving our country, not because I wanted or expected someone to say: "Thanks for your service," or to receive a letter to that effect. I did it because I wanted to, and it made me feel good inside. That was all the thanks I needed. Of course, now that pension feels awfully nice, but that's another story.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my Brothers and Sisters flying the freight, and Thanks for your service.

Of course it isn't personal and is a database thing. But, it is ironic when you don't receive this "gesture" after just dealing with DT over your recent military leave... not to mention the many other things the company does/has done incorrectly with military leave.

Like everyone else, I don't need a thank you for service and I definitely don't need a pin. The biggest thanks I could receive from FedEx would be to be treated fairly, with respect, and legally when it comes to my military service.

Merry Christmas everyone!
