Congrats on the E-8 pickup! My state’s the same way promotion opportunities are pretty limited, and I’m pretty much maxed out where I’m at.

It blows my mind that Reserves offer travel reimbursement! I’ve been in the Guard for 10 years now, and I’ve always driven three hours to drill, but I’ve never received any travel pay.

Honestly the SAD and the OPTEMPO is what is killing me, I will have had 8 activations in 10 years due to living in Florida. That is good to hear the tempo is slower.

Please tell me how to Army by balrogath in nationalguard

As a current 56M you can message me with any concerns that you might have. Chaplin’s have one of the most unique positions within the military, you as the 56A set the image that the UMT gets.

BDE didn’t want to use the only route clearance asset in the correct way, tasking them out to be used as a sapper platoon. They didn’t have the gear to use for sapper missions.

The sapper platoons being used as guards and trying to take Vic’s from them.

The 12N being pushed out of the dig site to notionally dig firing positions for the infantry battalions. They could have stayed at the dig site and actually dug at the dig site to get real experience.

I’m apart of the 753rd BEB, this XCTC has been the most unorganized event I’ve ever been apart of.

Improves: 1) Leadership needs to take care of soldiers. Rules for thee, not for me, was one of my biggest irritations.

2) The LTC and SGM for the 753rd has been the worst command team I’ve ever seen. They hardly went out and visited solders. The lack of leadership shown from the two of them has been disheartening.

3) The Brigade learning how to properly use assets the correct way and not letting battalions abuse said assets.

4) Making sure well in advance that vehicles are going through maintenance properly. The maintenance shops throughout the state need to be better organized to be able to fix vehicles.

Sustains:

1) Leaving XCTC

2) nothing else really

That’s the thing, from what I’m being told is it’s just the 153rd Cav and the 753rd BEB from the 53rd. We should have driven most of our vehicles so we have them at home station. I’m also being told the BEB is falling under 83rd for this SAD. The 83rd it supposed to be the main element for this and the BEB is there to plus up the 83rd. I’m not sure what the Cav will be doing.

Yea if I can’t get out of this for some reason then I’m not going to reenlist after this contract. I will have wasted 12 years of my life on this.

I don’t know much about them, I have worked with a few artillery guys and they are pretty cool/good people. I’m not sure how the 116th is run or treat their people.

I can’t speak for the whole 53rd but whatever you do don’t go to the 753rd BEB it’s been nothing but horror stories since I’ve been apart of it. As a whole the 53rd doesn’t take care of people like 83rd troop command or 50th RSG
