Advisors?
Warrior Mentor,
I am on a MiTT team now as the NCOIC. Your post is exactly what I had just about figured out on my own. If I may print and post for all to read?
First, there is not enough "cohesion" time spent with our counterparts. I even try to get the CSM (IA) to come lift in our weight room! I eat with them as often as possible. A good portion of my time is spent just "hanging out" with him. Most of the members of this team are very apethetic towards the Iraqi Army Soldiers of all ranks. They describe them as thieves, beggars and all around derelicts. We will never be able to leave this AO with "advisors" having such poor attitudes. Hell, our S-1 begins his brief every morning with " I caught him f@#$%&^ lying about etc.. Is he lying? Possibly. Did he not understand what your question is because you are a CPT with zero people skills and are one genome above been a drooling moron? Probably.
