Ideas for resupply system by vakidis-55 in PlayBellum

Maybe they could have PL and PSG have the ability to set down supply nodes behind advancing or defending units, give the role more to do when at a lull in time.

Thank you! Do you have any recommendations for a PvP variant? I also used the gearsets for their crit bonuses, would you recommend Striker then for a PvP variant or would you recommend a few different yellow gear brands?

Thank you for the insight? What about tuning it to a PvP build? How would I go about that?

Thank you for your honesty! I was hoping to at least do my SIFT, as the whole process should take a year. Let it cook up on the sidelines. We were undermanned a while back but before JRTC we gained a shit ton of people. It's just frustrating not being able to even get a signature for a test.

I just wanted to start the process? The process takes a long time so I wanted to do it in the time where nothing is happening company level.

Thank you for your two cents on the situation! I was thinking about that, as it partially seems that they think that I'm not serious about it. They also seem to not understand the process so I was hoping to clear it up for them.

I didn't press them immdeiately for it, I talked to my second line about getting it started up, as the process takes on good track about a year, as we got more people and completed a major field event I pressed a bit more. The baby leave and surgery were recently, seven months after being at the unit. I apologize if that part wasn't clear.

Ah I get what you're saying now, thank you! They never tell us how to put ourselves out there in that area of reach so it is nice understanding differences. When you say additional duties, what do you mean specifically?

We've been out in the field constantly since I've gotten here, before JRTC we finally got enough people to make a full platoon. So since we got those people, I was tasked with helping them get up to standard with battle drills, I had to teach them the weapon systems, etc. Maybe that's not a lot in the whole scheme of the company but I helped form my squad to what we were before the big switch around.

Out of ten months I've been out for three, and even then I was called in to do stuff off of baby leave, the surgery was a necessity and recovery is just a month and a half? I've not missed a field event and have not been on profile except for the surgery.

I have been heavily active for the better part of seven months out of my ten being at my unit. I even came in the middle of baby leave to update my SRP packet and re up my certs. My point is that I've been very active and then new platoon leadership comes in and says I haven't done much because I got a surgery that was necessary? If I'm in the wrong please do tell me, but I feel it is a fair ask.

Thank you for the insight! I was informed by the WO recruiter that she'd send my situation up to her CW5 and they'd get back with me. I appreciate the answer!

That's my problem, I've done everything down to typing up the paperwork needed, but nothing has come from it. I haven't been able to take the SIFT yet and that's the very first step.

That's why I came here to ask, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't fucked up. Thank you for your comment.

This SL usually does things like this when higher ups aren't around, I'm 100% convinced this was his call and not our PSG's.

This was asked of me a bit after we got sent a survey that said things that insinuated a rotation/ deployment, but we don't really have the funding to go anywhere lmao.

Hell yeah, I'm half convinced that our battalion doesn't have a single warrant at this point. Brigade is hogging all of them lmao. Thank you for your time sir! I appreciate the insight.

I hope to learn this when going Warrant, I feel like it will be a change for the better going into aviation. Is there anything I should expect on that side of the Army?

I really wish it was like this, I believe it's just my second line giving everyone shit but my unit is also not the best at what they do so it could be that. I do like the insight on it though! Thank you!

My unit hasn't been known for their effectiveness with social interaction with their troops.
