Great. Another REMF officer. Don’t be too upset if the troops treat you differently than they treat their own officers.

Don't be so harsh, Captain. I don't know what kind of captain you are, but you obviously don't know about how much power a properly trained JAG officer can bring to your leadership efforts.

I do. And being "treated differently" isn't a bad thing. I realized the difference, having the need for a couple of Navy JAG officers while on active duty during the Gulf war.

The troops won’t see this guy unless they have legal issues. Poor comment Captain Dave.

Perhaps he can serve as a piling for a building footing somewhere.

Exactly. We call them REMF’s. Has he had any prior service?
I had a chaplain visit myself and several great SF NCO’s on the ortho ward at Womack Army Hospital, Ft Bragg, NC in 1969. One had been a recon one zero in my unit, had been stitched by an AK 47 from arm to arm across the chest, and; he ordered a white SPC 5 to leave him where he lay. SFC Land or Lamb was black and quite a trooper. He had lost the use of both arms and hands. His wife feed him every day. The other NCO was the SFC who told me about SOG in late 67. My old A team NCOIC/team SGT. would have his wife bring SFC Henry a new bottle of vodka every day. She carried the empty out in her purse. I asked my NCO friends years later if they recalled him. They darn sure did. The preacher was a fine man who had seen combat.
