These days REMF's need to know they ain't anymore. Attitude of "in the rear with the gear" is dead and done when no real established "FEBA" is in place IMHO. Even then those leaders in support units endanger their units if at least 50% of their training is not divided on task to be performed and basic infantry tactics . Take care of all yer tools of the trade, train as you fight and work or die a horrible death and make your loved ones anguish over what you, your superiors , your equipment as issued or the field commanders did or didn't do right.

Simple rule , follow it.

Stay Safe !

I've got to wonder what's going on here, as I hear a lot of this type of thing going on.

When I was in (not even that long ago) there was no such thing as a "lost" weapon. Our entire battalion stayed in the feild (Hoensfeld) for an extra three days once looking for a weapon some idiot lost in the mud there.

500 pissed off guys staying deployed to find a single M-16.

The Jesse Lynch thing was disturbing too. A clean weapon was mandatory, if any one of us had one that was inoperable or uncared for we got that thing stuck up our asses.

I agree.
