Active Duty ping.
Thanks for the ping Jet. Hope it’s not the last. Really enjoy reading Starmann.
My son just reported to his new duty assignment with the 101st. He is assigned to one of the division’s infantry brigades. His assessment of the personnel, equipment, training and infrastructure readiness situation there is pretty sobering. Lots of challenges just getting the routine training done. This is like the Carter years x2. The only bright spot from his perspective is that soldier issues such as wholesale drug abuse and race riots aren’t part of the picture as they were in the 1970s.
