Hey sisters and brothers the Boy Scouts have new SEARGEANT MAJOR
I have to put this out there as veterans some may find this funny. As former us army infantry 84 to 87 I have close friend who also was infantry but spent 25 years in army. Well he has volunteered to help out the Boy Scouts in his hometown. I showed up last evening to offer any assistance he asked me to come and help. In sgt major opinion the last troop leaders were pos crap who did not fulfill there obligations and did not lead the troop well why these kids have never even been to the field to quote sgt major to sleep under the stars. Now sgt major has great sense humor and a heart of gold and the meet and greet with the troops and parents went well. After meet and greet sgt major and I hit the corner pub he and I were knocking back quite few. I told him I'd be more glad to help when I can even night ops but I am gonna need air mattress instead of sleeping on the ground with poncho liner for Pete sakes I'm not a barbarian I'm 51. He called me a .... choice adjective , so in my sense humor I started we gonna run the platoon thru night land Nav and night ambush training. Ok blow the ambush ok simulated claymore ok sweep the kill zone with the 60's remember kids aim low the human eye has tendency to aim high at night with out nods night sights ok sweep the kill zone. Ok security move across ambush cover us ,ok people check out the bodies see what you can find intel . Sgt major started laughing I said let's keep it simple burgers and dogs I'll cook beans and bullets , Will just pass on the 5.56 and 7.62 .
