selfishness - the eventual downfall of the saf
-
why is it that even in a BATTALION exercise, the CSMs are so reluctant to let other coys use their UNUSED vehicles/weapons?
so much that they decided even 1 tonner was too much for people meant to keep their equipment moving?
so much that when 1 HMTV broke down and 9 men became stranded, they'd rather squeeze them into an already overloaded tonner rather than have an empty tonner come down?
so much that when a coy with RCV has broken down, stranded vehicles, that they'd rather the store/a-mech/b-mech/base-mech/armt-tech tonner to tow them rather than send their own RCVs out to help?
then what's the point of having RCV teams in the 1st place?
to gain ISO awards?
even when the driver is newly passed out and has no experience towing anything, that he tow all the broken down vehicles through crappy terrain all the way from murai to gedong?
when you squeeze your entire maintainence team into 1 vehicle, the only eventual result is an entire battalion of failed vehicles because only 1 team can work at a time.
i guess we're lucky. if they weren't impatient, we'd be the medical team too.
1 tonner. 20 men. 20 sets of field equipment. 20 sets of 4 day rations. sm1 spares. bronco spares. nitrogen canisters. POLs. tool boxes. camo net. bamboo poles.
and you still expect them to sleep inside?
what are we? dominos? -

zonal?
we're not centralized yet.
last i heard, the entire thing is being delayed till after wallaby so that CO can claim credit for organizing an efficient maintainence team rather than relying on attached personnel.
really makes no sense though.
anyway the last thing our IC said before going for his jwoc was that they're centralizing in june, whether or not our CO likes it. -
Sounds familiar....centralisation.Originally posted by nismoS132:zonal?

U from A veh? or ..... TurreT? -
small arms

Small Arms huh..3,6,9 or G?Originally posted by nismoS132:small arms -
actually, it seems to be the same everywhere...
the COs are usually scholars who need to show that they are "doing things" and need to "claim credit" in order that their own idiot REMF superiors "see" that they're doing things...
if not, the COs will not be promoted and all that..
it happens where i work too
then us working hacks, those who just want to get the job done well and then go home, are left to pick up the pieces when the wayang of the bigwigs get implemented...
however, sometimes the people like the COs get their just desserts when a good leader comes in and blasts them for being the self-serving bastards they cannot help being

hehehe the new S3 blasted our idiot BWO recently in a meeting. this guy will never learn his mistakes, but it feels good to know there's finally someone not willing to stomach his crapOriginally posted by the Bear:however, sometimes the people like the COs get their just desserts when a good leader comes in and blasts them for being the self-serving bastards they cannot help being
bloody fucker told us to wait till the entire convoy has left murai before we're allowed to leave and claims it's the S4's orders even though we were supposed to be the 1st vehicle to leave.

supposedly 6. in june.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Small Arms huh..3,6,9 or G? -
To phrase it in a good way, they are training with limited resources.
In a bad way, it's just everyone is just selfish and care for themselves. -
Maintenance is supposed to be one of the advance forces.Originally posted by nismoS132:hehehe the new S3 blasted our idiot BWO recently in a meeting. this guy will never learn his mistakes, but it feels good to know there's finally someone not willing to stomach his crap

depends which team you're assigned to.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Maintenance is supposed to be one of the advance forces.
we were the RMT but later merged with the vespa store and the DS repair team. -
IC.But if orders are not carried out properly, especially when commander's intent is not followed, it could mean disaster in Ops.Tsk tsk..that BWO of yours..Originally posted by nismoS132:depends which team you're assigned to.

well his nickname is primus.
why do people like this get to stay in the SAF?
not only do they not contribute, they're also detrimental to their own men's morale and performance. -
morale is not quantifiable in the KPIs which "consultants" recommend
seriously.. this happens at my workplace so the staff is treated like government mules, damn the morale...Originally posted by nismoS132:well his nickname is primus.

I think there IS one which shows how we train out technicians/men, send them for courses, implement improvement courses, cross-training....just forgot which it is...MEA? -
Depends on your roleOriginally posted by LazerLordz:Maintenance is supposed to be one of the advance forces.
In a unit, it's considered advance...But if you're talking about DSMBs, nah....
We're usually one-bound behind, unless...operations require otherwise -
Originally posted by deathscythe99:
Yeah, MEA.But it hardly qualifies as a morale quantifier.It's something that merely notes the organisation's vision for her people and how she goes about ensuring that the performance enhancement for each individual is monitored and followed up on.

ISO, MEA, BLUC etc.... -
More of wartime roles..e.g the Light Maintenance Coys who raced into Baghdad just behind 1st MARDIV's Force Recon, though behind the scout forces, they are still advanced when compared with the re-supply forces instead.Originally posted by deathscythe99:Depends on your role

Better to get your gear up and running so that you can survive till supplies and replenishments arrive.Therefore the need for a Light Maintenance Coy. -
Yeah, thats the thing..Awards.Heh.Originally posted by deathscythe99:Hmmz...sorta...but well, we do know that all the solutions and implemented policies are meant to tackle the various awards we are undertaking, aren't we?
