Strange!  after typing the previous into the draft form of this blog entry I got a call identified from a Washington DC telephone 202-769-1672.  Hung up in 10 seconds!  Who called me from Washington DC?  Why just now?

Some info on the number here: http://www.scamnumbers.info/shownanpexchangef1/202-769-1-6/ 
"Exchange Code 202 for Area Code 769 covers the city of Washington, District of Columbia County in the State of District of Columbia (DC). It is centered at N 38º 53' 42.4" W 77º 2' 10.92". This Exchange Code was introduced on Tuesday, 22nd November 2011 and is designated as being used for Wireless telephones."   The location link is the  "National Christmas Tree"?

202-769-1672 - Bradley Payn 
A "Bradley Payn" is associated with Omnipoint Marketing.   A search on OmnipointMarketing.com  goes to: http://hitstate.com/

I called this number 202-769-1672and the person that answered identified himself as Peter Bradshaw, Federal Trade Commission.  I asked why he had called and he asked me for my name.  I talked briefly with him and he hung up.  Today, 10 November is a Federal Holiday.  He must be working on ho;iday overtime!

Perhaps  the call was purely incidental.
Question Everything!  Or, to be safe: Ask no questions!  Depends on who is being questioned!

Back to the questioning........

https://www.volunteermatch.org/search/org978784.jsp "Our core operational volunteer leaders are composed of individuals heavily trained and experienced in highly specialized areas including disaster management, emergency and primary medicine, global security, counter-insurgency, and civil affairs operations. Most are former active duty military personnel who’ve deployed all over the world. Their mission is to recruit, develop, and insert highly skilled teams into local communities to set up programs to meet our primary mission and humanitarian goals."

What is the WorldWideWeb website entity called http://www.bootsontheground.org/ and why does it have the supremely unique distinction of being first on the Google Search results???

The site appeals to veterans to join at this link: http://www.bootsontheground.org/join-us

Note:  The following was copied from the previous link.  

I'm not a veteren, can I still get involved?

"Veteren"?  Fishy? 

Today is Veterans Day.  Time for this vet to check this out!  "Free training for Vets"!

PTSD?

No problem!  Listen up troops to what the website link says!

"Listen, a large percentage of our veterans (including founding members) suffer from PTSD (diagnosed or otherwise). The fact that you're willing to admit you're suffering too, shows just how much things have improved from previous generations of veterans coming home. War sucks. Anyone who's had a taste of it, knows that. And we all cope in different ways. We'd never dream of keeping someone who has the skills and ability to help others from participating or even deploying to disaster zones. You can make a difference. We are in the business of empowering veterans, so if you're suffering from emotional and mental wounds, we'd encourage you to apply. You'll find a sense of community and purpose again with us. But keep in mind, responding to disasters is difficult and dangerous work; our team members have to be mentally and physically tough, so we'll want to make sure you're up for it before we issue marching orders."
