Sure anyone can do FID. Anyone can do brain surgery too. But I want the guy with the fucking diploma doing it and not some asshat who thinks he knows what to do because he read some halfwit shit put out by Army Lessons Learned.

This is a perfect example of troop leading by antagonism, degredation and cajoling because the "leaders" have poor motivational, raport building, and real leadership skills. After being a Marine this kind of behavior is old hat. But it is still weak and funny to watch. Our 1st SGT on our first deployment (Former Ranger and Marine with longtab envy... :boohoo) tried this shit. He met with more than a little resistance and about half way thru he figured the guys that did not need baby sitting could be left left on their own. If he tried that shit he got shit for results. If he treated us like adults he got positive results. Funny how the guys with the diplomas always got what they needed, even if the armsroom had to steal it to get it. Same with the mekniks. And he couldn't even get a sidearm to go to the PX with.

I would not be suprised to see some of these guys leave him hanging him out there after they got punked out. They are a spiteful people when they are wronged. Fuckers anyway.

Just my .0001 worth having been treated both ways.
