Thank you Sir, 

His message was a slap in the face to many of us.  Between 2004 - 2009 I spent over 2 years at different times in Iraq and Afghanistan and was not able to attend a lot of club events.  I appreciate you acknowledging all of us who have served.

Scott,

I suggest a review of the PYC Constitution, specifically Article XI Sec 13. 
Which states that resignations must be submitted in writing to the Club 
Secretary not via e-mail to the Commodore. Therefore your e-mail is NOT 
official correspondence! Also your current membership ruins through 31 Dec 
2011, I suggest 30 Sept is a premature departure.

Also I take more than a little umbrage at your apparent low esteem of  your 
fellow PYC members! We count among our members 2 retired US Army Generals 
( a 3rd on the wait list) plus numerous members who have SERVED HONORABLY 
over the years in all branches. Oh yes, member Sgt. Ian Clark just returned 
from an 11 month deployment!

Greg,

Please consider this an official correspondence. Nancy and I are resigning 
from PYC on September 30, 2011, hopefully placing us in the "good standing" 
category. I have to say that I am somewhat surprised and disappointed, that 
this is the only option. But then, I suppose PYC does not see many of 
members being activated for military service.

Regards,

Scott Johnson

Easy, boys!  Have you considered the possibility that he was not being snide, but just postulating a reason for PYC having no provision for this circumstance?
