A little more than bargained for
So my first annual training with my national guard unit was a little crazy. Civs were involved and the aftermath was SNAFU.
So the annual training of TY 96 was my first as my other two years for annual training were at training at Ft Benning. But enough about this lets get to the story.
So we were in the last week of annual training where we usually did force on force. Well this year some one in my states National Guard PR department fucked up big time. They scheduled a bunch of civilian tours during this week and they would come out and see what we weekend soldier's did during our two week exercise. 119
Well no one informed US!
We had just come back from a engagement and a lot of us went over to the non potable water buffalo and were in the process of taking bitch baths when four buses showed up to our AO!
Commander was like WTAF! A major and a nco get off the first bus followed by a hundred or so civilians. well there was like thirty or so of us taking bitch baths by that water buffalo and some of the guys were all the way down to skivvies. I'm sure you can see were this is going!
The ladies in the group got a eye full as well as a bunch of kids any where between 7 and 15. That major was really pissed off and started a shouting match with my Co. My Co politely told this Major that its not his fault that no one from HHQ or Brigade issued a frag order or mission brief on this.
Well Brigade Co hear about this little SNAFU and heads rolled. No more Civilians were going to be allowed on post during exercises that were live just for this reason. 20
