Wondering how far your great Battalion CO made it in the US Army, and was the forgetting of the A## chewing on your part, his, or both? I’m guessing both of you in the interest of getting on with the job of making the unit combat ready. It might also be of interest to know the CO’s background in the Army.

I read the whole thing.

I hate to break it to those idiots at NR, but...

THAT’S WHY HE WAS INSTALLED.

Sheesh.

Yes, rarely does anyone fall within 1 stage without overlap. And they can seemingly be in stage 2 (for example) for a while during the day and then slip into stage 3 for part of the day. It’s not cut & dry by any means. Every day, every hour can be a different situation with them. My mother knew her immediate family up until 2 wks before she died in hospice, yet she hallucinated and had paranoia & mood swings and was very difficult to handle or communicate with most of the time for her last few months. (she was in her mid 80’s)

I don’t know if anyone escapes not knowing where you put something (keys, glasses) or why you went into another room (what did I come in here for?) as you start getting into your mid 60’s or so. It’s kind of scary though when it happens, knowing one of your parents died with Alzheimer’s/dementia.

My battalion commander was promoted to full bird colonel. We both ended up at Fort Bliss, where he took over the directorate that tested new weapons systems in development.

After the Captain's course, I went to work for him again, as the Operations Officer. About the only job I ever had with implied power from Day One, due to our closeness. I still had to prove I was up to the job, which was no problem.

I never took his criticism personally, it was all about getting the job done right.

Tick-tock. Tick-tock.

And yes, as the OP says, read the whole thing.

PING!

I’m 54 and that sh*t already happens to me (misplacing things and forgetting why I went into a room or up/downstairs). I’ve had it at times since my 30s at least. The memory capacity on my mother’s side of the family ranges from fair to atrocious, unfortunately. No dementia here, as far as I know.

That’s the kind of leader subordinate relationship that generally is sought after but rarely achieved for lack of great leadership.

Thanks for sharing.

NR wanted him elected.

Karma is such a female dog.

Indeed. Biden has been terminally stupid his entire life.

The entire state of Delaware must be populated with people who are dumber than Biden is.

They have to be. They keep putting him back in office.

I read the whole thing—he sounds like a senile fool—which is exactly what he was a year ago...

So what is the point...

The point is he's now a dangerous senile fool.

Biden has no public events on his schedule for today. ...According to the Federal Aviation Administration, he is scheduled to return to his house in Delaware today. This is a highly unusual schedule for a president during a foreign-policy crisis.

Electing a man who was mentally challenged 10 months ago - with the help of a corrupt press who lied for him - is also 'highly unusual'.... or should have been. How many of these folks on getting money from China? How many newsrooms have 'paid WOKE minders? Salaries paid by Soros and his type?
