Official Hale Response


To: 2008 Quad Participants and Family
There has been a gross misrepresentation on my behalf on the Quadblog site, which is quite obviously the work of cowards. I feel compelled to respond to the offender/s in the following manner. I did not volunteer to go to Guam last year. No, in fact I was deployed, at the direction of the President of the United States of America to maintain stability and security in a volatile region populated by rogue nations known to be armed with nuclear weapons. As important as this tasking was, I still did my very best to attend the 2007 Quad. The following information has, until now remained a closely guarded secret, but apparently must be brought to light.
In response to previous allegations of cowardess, (Quad 2007), and an overwhelming desire to compete, I initiated actions that have proven irreversible. In the fall of 2007 I requested Congressional intervention from Missouri Congressman Ike Skelton that would allow me to temporarily suspend my obligation to maintaining security in the Pacific Command AOR that I may be allowed to compete in the ‘07 Quad. I was not only denied this request, but what followed has been a sequence of events that have brought great pain to me and my entire family. First, I was directed miss the Quad and to fulfill my obligations to his great nation while assigned to the Air Expeditionary Force. During this assignment, my request to compete in the Quad was met with distaste by my leadership and excessive periods in the Andersen Air Force Base Air Traffic Control Tower fulfilling s duties as the Supervisor of Flying, (those true aviators that have ever commanded a real combat aircraft capable of strategic influence can understand the totality of such insult as being assigned SOF duties) . This punishment resulted in possible implication in the most expensive mishap in the history of the AF. I have done my very best to avoid subscribing to any conspiracy theories that may correlate that incident to my Quad request. I remained clear of further accusation, but I have since been further punished with an assignment that will not only remove me from flying status, but also forces me and my beautiful family to relocate to Alabama. This can only be interpreted as further persecution based upon my desire to compete in the Quad.
In spite of such shattering news I intend to pose an unforeseen threat in this year’s competition. Furthermore, as I move to an assignment that takes me away from my relentless duties of protecting this great nation from the forces of tyranny and evil I should have at least as much time as Des to hone my skills. In conclusion.

1) May the offenders who have attempted to tarnish my name suffer divine punishment for their slander.

2) Go to hell Ole Miss.

My prediction, Des and Bart cry like girls…..Sean Hipps in ’08.

I am quite certain that those who control the Quad website will, in typical fashion, attempt to suppress and/or distort this response. Please consider this correspondence as the source documentation and record copy of my response. Thank you.

I must say that I am impressed. Not only was my response posted in it's entirety, but Bart apparently also went through great lengths to scan in and crop the Presidential seal from his commemorative Barack Obama plate collection. Classy move Bart, classy move.
