YOU NEED TO READ THIS...NAS Pier

CORNBREAD616 · 01-17-2012, 02:20 PM

So this thread kind of got spun way the freaking hell out of proportion so I am coming back to clear some crap up. Here's the deal. Lack of communication is the leader in the whole problem here. The original posting basically said that I wanted the opinions from everyone about having a ONE TIME ONLY FUNDRAISING EVENT ON CHARLIE PIER ON NAS. This would be held in a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only during navy working hours where there would be food, drinks, bait, and tackle available as well as raffles and possibly prizes for say....largest species or something. This would be to help fundraising for several committees To help better the command moral (mwr, hm ball, and many other things) of course it would not be set up and not governed it would be some work and take more than a few half ass volunteers. (IE...ran kind if the same way an event in NAS would normally run). Of course the CO, security and many other departments would have to be on board and I was working I that. As well as sponsors for the event. I think it would be nice to involve the community in something that we di as well as raise some more than much needed money.
Never was this an invitation for any and all to come in to our home and trash it not open the gates that protect our families. I'm not sure how things got thrown around so bad but seems like we got off path about half way down.

So this is basically it in a nutt
1)for all those tax payers out there in this great country I want to offer u a one time thing to come fish the notorious Charlie pier.
2)for all active service plz come and support and have a great time.
3) this is one time unless it just goes amazing.
4) I'm just asking what people want. Nobody said this is gonna happen.

Just posting a question but why should civilians be able to use the pier. They can't use Sherman Cove. How is this different. Again just asking a questions, don't know all the details about it.

I am also on a fundraising group cornbread that opens the pier. Here is my take on it.

One, it is up to the Base CO. Two, this is post 9-11 and opening up the base more than it already is poses risks. Three, we enjoy a priveldge as active duty, retired and dod employes. We take care of our things. Have you ever seen how trashed the sykes or 3 mile bridge is during the summer? not to mention over crowding. If someone wants to fish the pier than man up, grab a gun and stand a post. The pier is a reward and a privelege for our hard work. And if anyone is screwing around out there we reserve the right as military to police our own. (i.e. play the rank card). We would not have that ability over non-DOD people. You would have to contact the base police over and over again and bring it into the negative spotlight to the point where the CO would shut the whole thing down for everyone. Many of us enjoy the ability to go to a place that is not corwded, clean (minus the bird poop) an a family friendly envirnment.

Final note than im off my soap box,

Restricting the number of people that can fish there also ensures that the pier is not over fished and keeps the health, population and diversity at the NAS Pier.

Why don't you re-post the question, if you're going to keep arguing for it.

I may be missing the point here, but on the same post you are saying the pier is the only place th catch snapper and there is a diversity of fish there you want to remain....Any you want to open it up to more people to fish? I must be missing your and cornbreads point.

I for one, dont think the general public should be invited to the NAS pier. It will lead to problems such as many folks telling the gate guard they are going to the peir and they end up in sherman cove stealing stuff from boats. then the end up in houseing areas, where the general public does not belong. just 2 cents.....

Fundraiser, where will the money go and heck, i still fail to understand what you 2 are trying to do here. fill me in.
