That old OER kept me from getting a Hawk or Patriot battery. I tried to snare a Chaparral/Vulcan battery, but the Old Man said I was too valuable to him as his S-4, and he was right. Higher HQ never messed with us in logistical matters. I used my accounting degree (lol, that got around fast!) and my experience as the Property Book Officer.
The only inspection I had as PBO included a 2 minute outbriefing: “Colonel, your Property Book is in better shape than when LT NHN was assigned to it.”
So many stories, interesting only to me…lol.
I commanded a HQ Battery for while in Hawaii, when the captain battery commander was stricken with a very aggressive cancer and died, My first night in command, we had a mini-mutiny with our communicators and I had to go settle their issues and get them to get some sleep for the evening.
Fun stuff!
