Combat ready?
What the fuck does that mean anymore anyway? SHARPS, IO, IA, Ethics Training, Human Trafficing, SSD, On-line NCOES, langugage training, OPSEC, command climate surveys, MEDPROS etc etc etc...
...and dont fucking come up short on that shit because it is briefed to the boss. All that shit has to be done before are are deployable. "All weapons zero and qualification complete" doesn't show up as a "traffic light" on my AKO portal so it cant be all that important.
Now back to the meat of the discussion, how combat ready does Molly need to be when her platoon is just defending the TOC against insider attacks? She isn't doing the find-fix-finish or pressure-pursue-punish...
...shes getting on a Roshan and asking someone to drone strike the civilians that the tAliban is using for cover.
So again, if your Roshan still has 'minutes' on it, how 'combat ready' do you need to be?
