I was my battalion’s S-4 Supply Officer. I was supremely prepared for that role: degree in Public Accounting, six months as Property Book Officer, and six months as Assistant S-4. I could tell you unequivocally where every dollar went and where every major asset was located.
I said that to my Group Commander after one of his staffers fed him incorrect information: my Spec 4 was intimidated by questions from a Second Lieutenant that were beyond his knowledge. It pissed me off quite frankly.
The next day, my CO called me into his office: “I just got off the plane with the Group Commander. He sends his apologies.”
I’m now 70, just handed a nearly impossible task: reconcile the bank accounts for a Condo association that have never been reconciled since inception in 2015.
