SSG Bob on 23 Sep 05 I had received a phone call at 1410 hrs. from SGT Bill stating that he had come into some money and that he had known that I was wanting to get some additional equipment for OUR SRT. SGT Bill stated that he needed myself to come in and type up a letter of justification and if I could also have SGT Jones come in as well to assist in writing this letter due to the fact that SGT Jones had been placed in charge of training folders. On notification of this I was on the phone notifing my soldiers of where they needed to be and in doing this I had also asked SPC Man if could also inform you of what I had going on in case he had seen you before me, but his telling you was not going to be your only notification, nor would I have left it at that. SSG Bob I figured after you knowing me for almost 2 ½ years you would know that I would not do something like that. SSG Love you also twisted my words when you asked what came first the Squad or SRT. I told you SRT comes first and that was my belief. You then told me you did not "give a shit about my beliefs". SSG Bob when you came onto the SRT I told you that the Team needed 100 percent dedication to it because we are working up a brand new team, and as being a member of OUR team I figured you would have that same desire and dedication to it. So when I got this call for new equipment why would I think anything else other than this; "wow we are going to get some good equipment, CPL Smith make it happen for us" but instead in rush of the moment you were notified of the situation the best way that I could think of at the time and instead of having concern for the equipment, you were upset that you were not notified any earlier, even after it was explained to you that I had just found out.

After our meeting on the morning of 24 September I explained to you that after you had said to me that you did not give a shit about SRT and that you did not give a shit about my beliefs that I had received that as a personal

    The deployment of the division reserve is a positive manifestation of shared understanding. Honeycutt synthesizes the reports of the FAC (forward air controller), Cobra gunships, and his soldiers to determine that he will require B Co. He effectively communicates this understanding to the BDE commander, COL Conmy, who approves their release (Zaffiri, p. 67-68). Honeycutt’s use of a light observation helicopter during the final two assaults (18 and 20 May) highlights the flow of information during the battle. This perspective affords him better understanding that he uses to employ fires and maneuver units on the ground. He also pulls information from his subordinate with questions such as, “Can you take the sonofabitch?” or “How’s it going? ... Can you make it?” (Zaffiri, p. 223).This technique drives his use of mission orders and commander’s…

    He is a PFC and he is coming in here telling me that the battalion commander isn’t fit for duty. He just got into the Army, this PFC. He is nothing.” (serialpodcast.org, EO111, 2016) which sounds like fairly logical thinking, but when you have had 5 years to think of all the things that have passed you have a lot of time to make things sound convincing, and the realization of what you have done has really been imbedded in your mind, a person in that situation is no doubt going to try to make up whatever they can to gain credibility, and with no one else backing his story to me it becomes highly unbelievable. He said to those calling him a Taliban sympathizer that on a PBS report “a complete joke” and, “You would have to be completely stupid to think that you could desert in the middle of a war zone.” (PBS NEWSHOUR, 2016) But if you read of his story to track the Taliban on his way from post Mest to fob Sharan saying, “The idea was not to make contact with them but actually to just trail them.” (PBS NEWSHOUR, 2016) His logic is just as flawed.…

    I do not believe that Sergeant Williams made a sound operational decision at all. He knew what kind of man the FTO was and did nothing about it before or now. The man is married and has kids, and everyone knows that he is a ladies man and they let him get away with it (More & Miller, 2014). That is sexual harassment just waiting to happen. The Sergeant is just as liable as the FTO when it comes to sexual harassment. Sexual harassment can be any unwelcome sexual advances, verbal comments, or any sexual nature of any kind (“Sexual Harassment”, n.d.). Just because it was not unwelcome with Officer Roberts does not mean there were not women or men in the past that found his ladies’ man attitude offensive. Sergeant Williams thought that Officer Roberts could hold her own against men like the FTO and put them in their place if need be, so he never thought there would be an issue if he put the two of them together. I think that deep down he thought that Roberts would tell him off and put him in his place, like so many others should have. Like he wants to and does not have the guts to do. Williams should never have let the FTO train anyone with the attitude that he has. Sergeant Williams should have known it would cause problems sooner or…

    The year was 1991 at Fort Benning in Columbus, Georgia. Master Sergeant Hartman is 5’11 and weighs about 200 pounds. He is stocky built and tough because he loves to start bar fights. Due to his alcoholic issues he is a very angry man. The reason why he is angry is because his mom died when he was young. He feels like he has to take his frustration out on his soldiers in training. He did not go college because he stayed home helping his dad financial and medically. But that's not the reason why he joined the army. He wanted to be just like his father. One time there was a young teenage boy that joined the army and it reminded of himself. Basically the you boy came from the same type of living situation as Master Sergeant Hartman.…

    I am a “boot” adjusting to my new life in kilo company, and corporal has recently returned from a nasty deployment in iraq. He says that he is my father and that he knows what’s best. he kicks sand at me while i am timed to see how fast i can pick up all the yellow cigarette butts he dumped on the floor to “fix” my attention to detail and remind me of my ignorance, as he yells, “you are going to war soon, and I won’t be there to babysit you!” During the deployment workups in the states, we spent weeks patrolling, looking for something that we knew wasn’t real. Digging into defensive positions and waiting the night out for an enemy we knew would never come. Spending rainy nights in muddy holes, fearing what our leaders might do to us if we fell asleep. Firing machine guns, shooting rifles and launching grenades at little green targets…. All of it was just training ops.…

    On May 7th 2006 I had just graduated Ranger school with my best friend in my platoon. We had both started the school as PFC’s and were immediately promoted to specialist after graduation. We also were moved into team leader positions as soon as we arrived back to our unit. At this point in time most of our platoon has been deployed at least once, either to Afghanistan in 2005 or the initial invasion of Iraq in 2003. Upon our arrival back to our unit we immediately went into training and preparation for our upcoming deployment to Iraq. The unit was set to deploy in November to replace our sister unit operating out of COB Speicher near Tikrit.…

    Inadvertently, these two battalion commanders have caused a system conflict. This type of conflict happens quite often in the military because these commanders are very goal oriented; but fail to take into account the conflicts that may arise from the system that he just emplaced. It would now fall on the battalions ' Executive Officer to negotiate a win-win solution to this conflict in a very rapid manner. Without a win-win solution, there would be a visible conflict that would eventually become apparent to the hierarchy and a solution may be imposed that might not be favorable to both parties involved. The driving force for the resolution of this conflict would be not allowing the conflict to reach the "boss".…

    As soon as I walked in, he ripped my corporal rank of my chest, threw it on the ground, and proceeded to give me the worst ass chewing of my life. I felt less than a man by the time he was done with me. Afterwards, I moped around for a day or two. Dragging my feet and not really caring about anything anymore. I had lost my sniper team, my promotion, and my promotable status. All because I had to go out and think that I was too good to get help from anyone. All the good that I had done up to that point was completely forgotten. I was just another shit bag as far as my Chain of Command was concerned. But then I realized something. All they did was demote me. All they did was take my section. That was it. I wasn’t being kicked out of the army. I wasn’t getting busted down to private. In my mind that said one thing to me, I messed up but they need me. I’m a good soldier. I can come back from this. I spent the rest of the time in the field go out of my way to get things done. I volunteered for every detail no matter how bad it was. I made sure tasks I was given were done fast and to the best of my ability. I was determined to show my Company that I may have messed up but I was willing to do whatever it takes to get back where I was and that I wasn’t going to let a little trouble completely destroy me or keep me from having what I had worked so hard to…

    A few days ago, I SPC Ensley, was caught lying to SGT Henshaw about, my whereabouts, why I did not contact him before, or when I was leaving, and as well as my reason for hiding that information in the first place. I should not have attempted to withhold that information, and give out false information on where I was, and why I, SPC Ensley, wasn't honest about it when SGT Henshaw asked in the first place. I had no reason to lie, nor did I show any hint of any of the army values that an enlisted military personnel who is a non commissioned officer in training would normally portray to younger, more impressionable soldiers in our unit.…

As I approached the compound, I noticed the instructors and students participating in an exercise. One of the instructors came up to my vehicle to ask if we were lost. I explained that I was the newly assigned Instructor to the Division. He then flagged down another Soldier. SFC Joe Smith (I changed the name to protect the innocent). SFC Smith approached my vehicle; he noticed that I had a child in the back seat and asked where my…

    I questioned about the dimensions of the plane and confirmed that it will merit the group major deductions. The rules stated that the props must be approximately 2 meters in height and width but the airplane was almost three times as big and long. Thereafter, he insisted that I should give considerations as they are fully unaware of the dimensions of the props. In turn, I argued that all rules have been carried out beforehand and blamed them for not taking responsibility to be more conscious about the rules. He even got more furious when I used “us” in reference to the SSG officers as completely separated from “them”, my section, and thus accused me of not having any concern at all. Needless to say, I granted them no excuse to their mistake so they had to cut the airplane and decided to present it as five different props that could be formed into one big airplane. Rather than succumbing to the desire to win the most significant competition in my high school life, I chose to be committed to my responsibilities as a leader and did not regret getting into a fight with my best friend because it is truly imperative that rules must be applied to all…
