THANKS DENNY.Piling on with Denny:

Being a Navy veteran I was only in a Company during boot camp. After that I went to A School and then a Squadron as I worked on A7Es. The Squadron was part of a Carrier Air Wing and then that was attached to an Air Station or ship.Boot camp we had a company of approx 80.
But after that, I never had to deal with company, platoon, squad, brigade, etc.
In school, it was class. Yankee class, or 86-06.
Shipboard it was department, division.
I can never figure those army designations out
Navy organization structure bewildered me when I was in Iceland. Navy Supply (across the street from the Air Force Supply Squadron) was a Department. The P-3 Orion units were Squadrons. There were "Naval Support Activities" and the place that did the submarine tracking was called a NAVFAC (Naval Facility.)Boot camp we had a company of approx 80.

Ok, now what about a group of 535 monkeys divided into a cluster of 435 and a cluster of 100?
Dems want the Police defunded.
Laissez-Faire CoC Repubs think everything is better done by the private sector anyway.
My God, the AF and Nav tables of organization are pure migraines.
The Army kept it simple (well....they kinda had to).
8~10 guys made a rifle squad (if one of them was a grenadier, then you had a "fire team"...oooohhh. Guess it sounded better in the bars.)
4 squads made a platoon, 3~4 platoons made a company (with or without a "heavy weapons" section) and you didn't need to know anything higher up than that, because nothing good ever happened there.
Oh yes
That's TOTALLY understandable.
Weapons, Radio, Sonar (might have been "Sensors".. it's been awhile), Engineering, Medical, Supply... those were the "Departments". I might have forgotten some.
Can any of you imagine the court case when any one of those people kill some "poor boy just visiting his grandma, bringing her a bag of Skittles.What does doing "the hard work of healing that pain" entail Mr. Mayor? Or are you more interested in throwing out empty buzzwords than actually making the community safer?
When criminals are allowed to run the streets with impunity, eventually people will step up to fill the void. And based on photos in the article, it's not like this is some group of mean old white conservative gun owners trying to keep the minorities away.
Unfortunately that's what will happen and that's exactly how they will frame it.Can any of you imagine the court case when any one of those people kill some "poor boy just visiting his grandma, bringing her a bag of Skittles.
