R&T DASA. Mr Steve Scharf Poor Performance

I will never understand why DOD civilians who are former military ignore our troops call for help. Actually I do know why but I do not like to admit the real reason for their do-nothing performance. Mr. Scharf promised Militec a meeting for months. Then days before the "long awaited meeting" his boss Dr. Marilyn Miller Freeman's mother became ill so the meeting was postponed. Since we were advised (next posting) Mariln Miller Freeman's mother was sick, Mr. Steven Scharf has ignored Militec and the volume of warfighter emails calling for help.

There are so many folks working at DOD, the DOD has become neutered. Plus, there are few if any true patriots left in its swollen ranks. Meaning, job before country is more important than anything else which is why our troops still do not have the best gear; even though the budget is out of control.

The great generation (thank GOD for them) would have never acted the way Steven Scharf has performed. If these folks do not help troops in combat, then why are they getting paid big bucks while they double and triple dip in uncle sam's broken bank accounts?

Brad & Russ--



Sorry that this has taken so long to work through, as different

organizations have been compiling their historical data to see what will

prove appropriate as a path forward.



As Russ and I discussed last week, this task has transferred to our R&T

DASA. Mr Steve Scharf, above, is working the issue for Dr Marilyn Miller

Freeman, our DASA R&T.  He will provide further follow-up on the Army

position.

Steven,



I followed up with you last  Wednesday (message below) to see when a meeting

can be arraigned. Your message to us dated  September 1, 2011 is pasted

below: 



Steven Love wrote: "Glad to make your acquaintance. I look forward to

figuring out this request

and how it proceeds. Bear with us as we do some initial background work to

set

the stage for the 'next step' in the discussion. Will be in touch."



I have pasted below (in green) six recent and (unfortunately) redacted

emails from soldiers. We have received over 30,000 warfighter email requests

(since OEF) for our synthetic dry lube  and supplied over 750,000 bottles to

warfighters at no cost.



May we please have the meeting?



Brad P. Giordani

(1) Sir/ Mam,

I am a platoon sergeant in XX Co, XXXX, 101st ABN DIV. The company I am with

is starting training for the next deployment. We have 200 Soldiers in our

company, we have M-4's, 240B machine guns, .50 cals, and M-19s. We have a

lot of company size ranges coming up in the next couple of months. Your

support is greatly appreciated. My address is XXXX, Clarksville, TN 37042.

This is my home address but I want to ensure that the militec-1 gets to the

right Soldiers. My phone number is (931) XXXX





(2) My name is SGT Dennis XX earier today I spoke with Russ concerning

getting some of your product for my unit who has never heard of it before.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could send some to me to provide for

my soldiers in my Field Artillery Unit at Ft. Sill. You can reach me at

253-xxxx. The shipping address is xxxxxx, Lawton OK,  Thank You for your

support.



(3) Hi I am writing to see if you guys still provide refill bottles of

miltec to

 deployed soldiers. I received some on my last deployment in 08 and ran out

 just before arriving in country this time. Thanks for your time and for all

 your company's support.

(4) Sirs



When we shipped into country the crew served weapons we had to ship over in

containers were full of rust and it took several days of hard work to get

them cleaned and working correctly again. Having heard a lot of good things

about Militec and the ability to stop and or prevent rust I thought I would

ask for your help. As the cost of this will be coming out my own pocket, I

still do not want rust on our weapons again, that just is not right. The CLP

that we use does not even come close to doing the job. Please help!
