I understood MOST of this.2 ID HQ Korea 1998 SSG/E-6 Brad was in the HQ PLT. So I was basically manpower in a PLT that has the CG in it. I was the assistant NCOIC of the jump TOC. We moved to select locations and if the main TOC was hit the CG would jump to us. We were self contained with M113’s and M577 command vehicles.
We practiced at least monthly and often stayed in the field for weeks. We were fully staffed with the back up team reason being if the main TOC was hit you cannot transport everyone.
War game from the pentagon they killed the CG the ADC (M) BG and the ADC (S) BG. We had a S3 Col that took over I was told to go do LZ operations made contact all the LZ stuff popping smoke. It was a CH-53 strange the Army doesn’t use them.
It landed US marines on the side. 20 or so people climbed out. MG was a Marine and the BG was Air Force. They took charge I did not know that all General officers are basically interchangeable.
I have several, more to follow.Kelly,
Did the AF screw up as bad as the Army assigning the wrong MOS to do a job?
So on my last deployment we had a team slot for a E-7 S2 intelligence guy as an add on. They assigned a satellite imagery dude. Yes he’s in the intelligence branch but we needed a regular intel guy.
This cat had absolutely no experience in the real Army. He was assigned to Ft. Mead for like 10 years and in NATO headquarters.
Dude was a complete nerd had every cool guy tactical thing you could think of acted real gung ho and out of shape sweaty all the time. Oh and no Combat patch it was 2010 even PVT’s had Combat patches.
Two days in Afghanistan we got shot at nothing big shot back nobody hit nothing damaged. Not our job to fight called it in and moved on.
Dude broke down full meltdown like a two year old saying crap like they wanted to kill me. Yeah that’s why your here.
Dropped him off at a Combat Outpost he took the resupply bird to Bargam AB. Never to be seen again I bet he tells some great stories.
There are people on X saying it’s an ejected case that was caught at just the right moment, but I have my doubts.We don't have any bullets.
Don't worry, we'll photoshop one in later.

If it bounced off the photographer, I could see that. Being ejected? Nope!There are people on X saying it’s an ejected case that was caught at just the right moment, but I have my doubts.
