Yeah C53, I let my SGM in on this and he talked to the BN XO, so we'll see what happens now. But hey if they can't do anything for me and the MMRB board convene's, I fill them in on it when I get the flooor. Folks like this PA should be relieved of the duty's and sent packing. The way they treat Soldiers that are the ones that go out and put it on the line, is just disgusting and unbelievable, not saying that the PA's job is less of a hazard, but I've never seen PA's out the wire on any deployment I've been on. There's been complaint after complaint about this particular PA, but nothing but a little slap on the wrist. And if you're an NCO you don't stand a chance with this tool.
Yeah that crap about the presidential directive/policy, I felt like they should have atleast given me the opportunity to drop my trousers before they tried blowing that smoke up my arse. They even kept a straight face when they said. I even looked the 1SG in the face and said "1SG you and the Pres have one on one conversations together, wow thats cool", then comes the I have a johnson growing out of my forehead look. These last few days have been a roller coaster ride from hell with some amusement though.
C53, Bro I just want to thank you for the time you have taken to shed a tremendous amount of light on this issue. Pointing me in the right direction, I never thought I'd be in this situation of an MMRB so I just never eduacted myself on this stuff, but now I see that info is invaluable and not just for me but for my future Soldiers that may find themselves in this same situation.
You now the old saying "DON"T BITE THE HAND(S) THAT FEEDS YOU" well I'm a firm believer that the Soldiers(Joes) and NCO's on the ground feed the highers. If the guys on the ground run a muck then the CMD would be jacked up in the eyes of their leadership, but when boots on the ground do what they are suppose to do, hihger has the limelight and takes full advantage of it. But as we can all tell fewre and fewer CMD's see it that way. Tht's just my outlook on it, maybe I'm a little partial, but this is the topic to alot of NCO and or Joe conversation lately.
Sorry for that rant, just venting a little.
Have a good'un
