Operation Frog watch

[CrazyFrog1903]

Only one MOS as far I am concerned - 19 Kilo, lol. Kidding aside, maybe something in aviation? Lots of civilian life applications. Or some type of trade, such as heavy equipment operator.

Sounds like an idea. My scores on the ASVAB were high enough that I am not sure if there is a job I would not qualify for.

15Y sounds interesting.......Now just to get my E5 in these bad conditions...and then there is Afghanistan...

your re up window should be opening soon. You could get it with re up or if you transferred to reg Army

I forget when the re up window is.....LOL

 

[Hellkite]

midpoint of your enlistment or when you have two years left on your contract

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

Have you resent that package?

 

[Hellkite]

nope I still try to get the Post office to repay me they seem to think it was delivered

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

delivered??? I don't remember this...

 

[Hellkite]

They say that it was sign for.

I do not believe them and have ask to see their prof on the matter
given I trust you that you did not get the package.

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

Only package I have signed for was from Oldfogey.

 

[Hellkite]

like I said I do not trust them at any rate I still waiting on them to call and present there evidence to me before I take it to the next level legal action

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

I just got done with the Patriot run here in Afghanistan....10k in 1 hour 6 min and 10 sec........I am sore...... now to get ready for work...

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

It is a good thing that I am a person who believes in doing what I am suppose to do nomatter what..... That is about my only reason for doing anything in this unit.... I will be so glad to come home and that has nothing to do with being in Afghanistan....

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

Well, things show some signs of improving. Steps are being taken to fix the situations.

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

Wow, I really do feel like I help run a glorified truck stop now. Ofcourse my work is right by the only highway around..... we had a Canadian Shanook helicopter land in the parking lot to ask for directions to a base we had never heard of...... I think that beats just about any "asking for directions" story I have ever heard....

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

Lol. Awesome.
You have my absolute respect for serving "over there" in such a country. Give my countrymen a clap on the back for me, if you happen to meet German soldiers.

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

Wow, I do not even know where to begin... My Captain had a heart to heart with everyone to "try to fix the unit".....now anyone who voiced major issues with her is being sent to work at battalion, leaving the rest of us to pick up the slack here.... Is it good when even the senior NCOs have major issues with the way things are happening? Guess we shall see in the next episode of "the 481st MCT".....

Wish I could say it was like that here.... but we even have people who have served over 25 years who still have no idea what is wrong with the unit.. the unit itself works great together but the head of the unit locally is the problem.... this has been discovered after the whole unit had to talk to combat stress twice, the captain, the Lt, battalion chaplain, and now the battalion Sargent Major.... It is to the point she(the Captain) is trying to send 25% of the unit to battalion or home just so the rest of us will work ourselves to dead.

The job is super easy, the schedule we had was the best, and the location was one of the safest....it is the command that is making it a flaming pit.

Here is to hoping that battalion does something to save the unit from the one causing all the issues.....

Hello, eh? Seems we got a wee bit lost, eh? Can you tell us where Camp XXXX is aboot from here, eh? Here, have a hockey puck, eh?

Also - not only Military managerial types pull that trick - its been used from the dawn of time by politicians, autocrats, plutocrats and office managers...

"Let a thousand flowers bloom" indeed...

From what you said, it just a command issue. Then your commander needs replaced it happen daily all over the military.

The thing is that some commanders are grate commanders in a Conous setting ( Good at leading in the training cycle ) But can't handle the Battle stress of command in a combat zone this type commanders should be move to Tradoc as soon as they are identified , but with that said the test is all be it is the combat stress.

Exactly, but our battalion can not guarantee anything for us. The work schedule we are looking at in another week if nothing changes is 12-14 hour days every day for the rest of the deployment. So, we are going to be at perfect strength to work as long as no one gets sick, injured, awol, or sent home. so, if anything else happens then the unit will be unable to complete its current mission.

 

[Hellkite]

"perfect strength" No such thing, Having a contingency team on stand by is better because any thing can happen my friend.

Command rule : Have more re sorceress is all ways better ; in other words
have just enough is falling short.

I completely agree with you. I even told my NCOs the math on the unit. They had not broke it down yet. They agreed with me after they heard my explanation of the numbers. So, either battalion fixes the issue before it happens or it becomes only a matter of time before the unit is replaced for not being able to do its mission.

 

[Hellkite]

If the unit is replaced its a Mission-critical failure

An Command Mission-critical failure. Unacceptable in any case if that happen your commander can kiss there commission good by that goes on there (ORB) Officer Record Brief. It is a flag code that dose not come off ever and they will find them self in Front of a inquiry board fast.

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

That will only be a matter of time unless the battalion commander does something about it in this next week. this next week is when the 25% of the unit leaves...

 

[Hellkite]

ACUed frog

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

It is official, only 1 person leaving.... The captain.

 

[Hellkite]

yep thought so
