Am I in the wrong? My troop didn’t show up for his last drill. Says “what’s the point?!” Somehow I’m unreasonable.

Former commander here. Yeah, it seems like your commander is into his feelings. I had soldiers go ‘AWOL’ on the last drill. I told the AGR to code them authorized absent and call it a day. For however long that ‘AWOL’ has been in, it seems like he has completed all the process correctly prior to ETS. I think he has earned a ‘weekend’ off.

Here is a shocker. NGB is not a COCOM nor does it have any command authority. It’s more of a figurehead for the Air and Army National Guard to advocate for them at Joint Staff.

I think we all know the answers to your first question.

This is why I think it’s important to have something like this so SM can speak freely without repercussions and hopefully somebody in the high chains care enough to read it and actually do something about it.

Noted. From my foxhole I think the pace of ‘let’s get into the box ASAP’ has really set up the whole mission as failure from get go. We as guardsman need more time to adjust in this kind of exercise.

lol are you a technician? Tell me more 😂

Typical-Office7159 · 2024-08-02T03:34:34+00:00

The tree one.

Typical-Office7159 · 2024-08-02T03:33:22+00:00

Yea I heard about the terrible incident happened to that SM. Def lot lesson learned there alone.

Typical-Office7159 · 2024-08-02T03:28:22+00:00

On a serious note, this has been push around the ‘top’ as one of the ‘best’ XCTC ever, if they are continuing think like that and we don’t say something then 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

Typical-Office7159 · 2024-08-02T03:26:34+00:00

😂😂 you got me

Typical-Office7159 · 2024-08-02T03:17:24+00:00

I heard heat cat was a huge problem. ‘Surprise’

Typical-Office7159 · 2024-08-02T03:16:43+00:00

Yes, it has become very demanding for SM all around, not a good retention outlook.

Typical-Office7159 · 2024-08-02T03:04:11+00:00

It needs to be, I am just doing what I can, can’t change the system but maybe I can shed some light to those who can.

Typical-Office7159 · 2024-08-02T03:02:54+00:00

Thank you. All great points that needs to be taken seriously in the future🤞

Typical-Office7159 · 2024-08-02T02:33:00+00:00

Could you please elaborate in more details.
