This lack of caring for others...it seems pretty common based on what I've experienced and heard concerning Pentes.I have a few good stories about Pente people and a hell of a lot of stories of people who couldn't figure out how to give a rip to save their lives. Mr. EN found himself essentially homeless in his final duty station before his retirement from the Army, because the senior NCOs got booted out of billets to make room for younger folks. He was there "unofficially unaccompanied" anyhow, drawing his housing and related allotments as if I were there with him. I was not well enough to travel, so I stayed in NJ. The pastor of his local (A/G) church got word of his predicament. He had Mr. EN stand up in church Wednesday night and said, "This guy is about to be sleeping in his car. Somebody needs to take him in. Spread the word to folks who aren't here and make sure our brother gets a roof over his head." A young fellow who was absent that night got the word, called my husband, and he and his wife gave him the second floor of their house for over two years for next to nothing. They loved him like family, too. Other people there loved on my hubby, too. That was a good place for him. I got treated well by a few kind folks in one of my churches as well, though there were plenty of others in that congregation who were happy to treat the seminary student worker bee like crap.
