Well gentlemen it appears that there are no more questions so I will be closing this thread, thank you for your time and professionalism. Take care and good luck to all!!!
PaulJF-Most of your questions are the same thing just worded differently, I hope this helps.
The governor would call us up, we do not have commissioned officers in our ranks all of our ranks are "NCR" Non-Commissioned Rank, We train ourselves, We are not regulated, You do not need any...
If there are no more questions or inquiries I am going to close this thread, thank you all for your professional manner and comments and I hope that I showed you all that there are a few good people in your local militias! Take care!
Thank you COOKIEMONSTER for clarifying that, I am still so use to the military mindset. I should have conveyed that message to everyone. Glad you came and posted!
SPECTRE327- Well said buddy!
HEADLESSROLAND- "I have no questions and you have no answers" is kind of obtuse, but I respect your personal stance on preparation.
MUDCAT- No problem and thank you!
KMCINNES- Thank you but I not asking anyone to buy into anything, and does anyone like obama? Just because most of our members...
EXODUS- Anything that we have as a group comes from donations, there are no financial requirements in our group. We are developing a couple ways for the group to make money for training and equipment that will be spent based on majority vote.
SPECTRE327- Thank you for your canter, I started...
TEK- You have read way to far into it this friend, we do not mind being under the magnifying glass as we do not have anything to hide, any organization is only as operable as its members make it and if it is doomed to failure then so be it but who are we to pass sentence on any group, community...
SAILOR- Your right, I don’t know who or what all of the members are, but the same is for any organization that you join. Look at how many child molester's have been sniffed out of the Catholic church or the Boy Scouts of America, it is sad but true. As far as vetting people, the leaders of each...
The SPLC's list includes almost 95% of "Patriot" groups and put an asterisk by the names of those that train with weapons. They do not care to look into the groups they just label them as they please. I have never in my life been a racist, religious extremist, conspiracy theorist, or wanted to...
ZOMBIEPANDA- It is because of the structure and discipline of a military unit, I am very comfortable with it because I spent along time in the military as did a lot of our members. We do not balloon ourselves up into anything that we are not, we address each other by our first names. We have the...
Hey guys its nice to see everyone is taking a practical approach to my thread, Thank you guys and I hope I can clarify some thing about the ISL.
223GUNNER- I agree with you 100%, no one in my group know exactly what I have except for a few because I have not been in long enough to develop a lot...
Gentlemen I have alot of questions to answer so please give me a sec,
SCUTTER01- I don’t blame you at all, I was also skeptical at first especially after 8 years of Army service. I am one of two Officers, five NCO’s, and 33 privates in my BN. The reason why Clark county falls under me is...
Scutter01, I did not give this rank/position to myself I was asked to by the members. But you are right there is a common theme of ranks in most militias!
ZombiePanda thanks for taking the time to read my post I hope these answers help!
1.Because we are in fact a "militia". We prepare for disaster response/preparedness but we also prepare for open conflict with a armed hostile force.
2.We have military ranks because we are a paramilitary...
LOL, I did kinda make it seem like a brochure didn't I! Well I didn't mean to sorry, I just got tired of nobody talking openly about what their group does and all of the bad publicity that militias get so I am putting myself out in the open for Q&A.
Hello Gentlemen! My name is Aaron Hall, I am a 8 year veteran of the active duty army Infantry and a current member of the Indiana Sons of Liberty and I have noticed several threads on this website that have not shed a lot of light on militia groups in Indiana so I am going to take a few minutes...
