Not Work Safe .

A lot of the non-combat MOSs and units are Monday-Friday 8-5, have little real field time, and shoot less than 10% per year what we could do in a week. That's all fine, just a huge leap between infantry and FSSG (support).

It's the same for the US Army CSS and CS units. However having coming from both CS and C units, this needs to stop being treated as a 9 to 5 in sheltered work conditions.

I have been in leadership positions when we had done minimum manning for up to a week while the rest of the division went and done Lightning Wek in 25th ID as an example and sometimes even on 24 hour shifts or night and day crews. Things still happened and got done but at a slower pace and this is proof that we need to give these CS and CSS units a fighting chance at not doing fire and maneuvering things but a fighting chance to survive out there.

Units like what I suggested are far and few between but they are out there and when you do come across they are fitter, more embracive of the suck things like it's normal to them, and even their equipment shows signs off being well maintained despite constant or once in a blue moon usage.

Army Combat Medics kinda have that same dynamic. In a line unit, you are part of the platoon but you can step back from most of the bullshit details and nonsense.

I was in units where they never put the 92A on any details or DA 6's for detail rotations or the rated for the Motor SGT position 63B later 91B senior NCO for NCO extracurricular things like SDO for BN or BDE levels. Medics were definitely left off too when the units was doing field or training things.

Now, I have no clue what you are saying, but I think I understand. Outside of schools I never had quarters or fire watch, and I was rarely assigned to a detail. I was treated well, and in return I worked hard and made sure everyone was taken care of.

I have to get ready for an appointment with my bank for a medallion signature but I will do this at combat speed; In maintenance unit at the unit level, you don't want the the class 9 supply guy doing the SAMS-E job out for anything including petty details or support ops will have a shit fit when they give a tasking and the 92A isn't there to dispatch any vehicles or warn the motor sergeant that so an so vehicles need to be removed from repair service very quickly because higher wants those vehicles for a detail elsewhere. Such an example would be such as ; If the transportation company is tasked out the maint. unit does have lowboys to move floaters that are assigned to the unit to one for one replacement if battle damaged like M88 wreckers for an example and can be used to do a division or post detail that required lowboys (like a post museum needing things moved or a parade or equipment display for civilians off post).

This is a small example though. Okay, I gotta go now.

I received a lot of really cool gifts for Christmas this year.

While we were in the Army, my wife and I both served in the Joint Special Operations Command--JSOC.

However, this year only one of us received...

...wait for it...



... J-SOCKS.
