HHC - Duh A, B, C - rifle companies D - Heavy weapons / AT (M2/Mk19/TOW) E - Logistics As an FSO I was technically part of HHC along with my fisters but we reported/lived/slept/farted with our line company. I developed a bad attitude towards HHC authority and everyone let me get away with it. This did not serve me well, down the road, as a squadron S2. This is the same for both infantry battalions in light and air assault (lol) BCTs. I can't speak for airborne or heavy obviously. E co is technically part of the BSB. Across all BCTs, E and F support respective infantry battalions, G goes to the artillery battalion. This was one of the shittier parts of BCT task org. The support companies effectively had 2 parent units, one for promotion/professional development/mentoring, and one that made their lives hell every time support wasn't delivered flawlessly. I forget which supports the cav troop. Who cares. Zeris fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Mar 30, 2015 |

E was part of the BSB for us as well, and I think it's where the engineer attachments went too. HHC/HHT hate is a universal thing in line companies. Then you get up there after company time and find that you don't have a real job anymore.

Airborne infantry battalions are setup exactly like light infantry, they're just dumb enough to exit "perfectly good" aircraft.

I took a few joyrides & collection trips up and down the Konar, Pech, etc. and while it was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen (ground and air), the surface to air poo poo was always on my mind. I felt worst for the canadian cargo helicopter dudes, because I'd give them what basic intel I could and basically apologize for the subtextual message that if any Talibans put their minds towards shooting down em down, they were gonna do it.

White Chocolate posted:That is truth right there. And there is no money to fix it either, is there. Well no, but mainly because there isn't enough money to make drill into 6 UTAs a month average instead of 4 - by which, I mean enough money to replace the 75% of the reserves that would loving quit. It's a matter of there not being enough time to fix it no matter how much money there is. As it is, I do enough free work for the Army. I have a weekly "readiness teleconference" on Tuesdays I have to be on - for loving free - if I had another day of drill every month, even with pay, that might just push it over the edge to "the retirement is not worth it any more."

One of our guys was going to BAF or whatever in one of those Canadian choppers, they picked up some more people and then I guess got lit up. Some goat herder got lucky and hit one of the passengers in the rear end. Everyone else on the bird stuffed this dudes backup rear end in a top hat with everything in the IFAK/ILSK whatever and they made an emergency landing at a French base and everyone is fine now but just kind of a funny story.

Secdef visits drum to announce1250 from 1st bct headed to Iraq Secdef has a way with words: quote:"Some of you are recently back from Afghanistan. Some of you are off again to Afghanistan," Carter said. "And some of you — and this is important — will be going to Iraq, to train, advise and assist the Iraqi security forces so that they can be the force that sustains the defeat of ISIL after ISIL is defeated, which it will be. But in order to sustain that defeat, we need a force on the ground, and that's what you'll be helping to create."

It's a matter of there not being enough time to fix it no matter how much money there is. My non-drill workload has plummeted since I've moved out of a line unit to become non-primary staff at the brigade level. Any day spent in drilling status is better than being on active duty, but with that being said, it's to the point where my time is worth far more than the money I make on drill weekend. I see very little value in continuing my reserve career after my service obligation provided my civilian company finds a long-term project to hold my SCI.

I have a little over a year left as Battalion XO and then I plan to move to some training unit that goes around OCing and doing exercises for other units and getting a break from this poo poo. After being an HHC commander and now XO I've had more than enough ov being "involved" all the time. My latest hobby is refereeing between captains that cannot get along with each other.

Isn't the army all about creating extra work for no reason which only adds to the clutter and makes it harder to keep track of things? I thought we were just doing what we were supposed to do! vvv

It started being eye-roll worthy after the first couple times we heard something along the lines of, "WE MIGHT BE GOING SOMEWHERE GUYS, WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE, AND IT'S NOT AFGHANISTAN LOL!" Thank gently caress I was in the back forty supervising retards blowing poo poo up when SecDef came through.
