Good work, Paula. Looks Like the GEN was "All In".
SMH. What a disappointment.
I'm a two-time "go" at the Fires Center of Excellence...based on my performance on both occasions, it should be renamed the Fires Center of Mediocrity.
I do it through AMU also. If you call an advisor, they pretty much do it for you. You just have to make sure the TA-SOU is signed and at the Ed Center prior to enrollment. Once you crack the egg,...
At first I was pretty angry. I'm not much of a political guy, but something didn't smell right.
Then I read the article.
If the things that are being said in there are true, then I think GEN...
This is more personal than the rest. I hope that's OK:
It's hard for me to say that Iraq wasn't worth it. I spent a few years there and lost some good friends. Personally, I wouldn't want to...

During OIF I, we had hardly any amenities at all. We drank hot water, ate T-rats and slept in pools of sweat.
We wrestled, played spades on MRE boxes and talked #### to each other for...
Great post, Sir.
As a current battery commander, I appreciate you recognizing the complexities of not only our missions in combat, but training for those missions, as well.
My battery just...
I knew it was nothing tactical/combat command related. That would be the last thing anyone cared about.
The sad part is that if this was a unit that performed well, they are sans leadership...
Talked to a buddy. He said LTC Jenio was Steele's BDE S-3 at 3/101...and McChrystal's XO at JSOC.
Terribly sad...but probably unrelated to the BC/CSM issue.
jcustis is probably on the right track.
I seriously doubt it's anything tactical...that would be the last thing the CoC command would care about.
My guess: Drinking.
To caveat what Cavguy and Schmed said, there is one more aspect of ZD that I personally saw during deployments that really shook me to my core about WHAT it is that some leaders care about,...
Well, we were good until some females showed up at the patrol base at about month 6 to perform some CSS task (can't remember what). All the boys started sniffing around and I told them that sex was...
Did I miss something in the thread? I was under the impression that sex was a violation of GEN Order #1. At least that's what I thought during all of my deployments. I thought the only people...
Mike,
I've kind of been wondering myself what happens when Iraq and AFG are over. What will we do then? How will we train? What will those conflicts' legacy be on the Army? Will they have a...
Reminds me of how I felt after reading this one year ago:
One Man’s Military-Industrial-Media Complex
It was kind of hokey and broad-brushed over many important details of the Surge beyond the tactical changes that were made.
I do like that history channel guy...maybe that's why it reminded me of...
I thought you were coming back on active duty?
I know this is a nightmare, I'm trying to find people to prepare my TS paperwork. AKO helped a lot, just like Jedburgh said; but you want to know where I found most people's info?

Abu M. weighs in on apparent inaccuracies in the original WaPo article
Looks like Schmed might be right...
That was my thought...he was the "perfect" candidate for political fodder.
You're right. I'm guilty.
I know the SWJ blog mention this today, but I thought it was worth talking about.

My old roomate at Campbell told me that Eaton "ruined Ranger school" and was a "sworn enemy" of the RTB.
That's so wrong, man.
