[OT] Adventures in Planning...

[Eddie]

For those of you with US Army Mechanized Infantry and/or Armor experience...

Table XII Gunnery for Tanks and Brads (and precursor Tables of VII, VIII, IX, X, and XI).

Fourteen working days to plan.

No big bullets forecasted.

Tanks in Annual Services.

Bradleys in OPNET.

Deployment to Afghanistan in less than a year.

No guidance or orders in any format other than a couple verbals from the BDE S3 to the BN S3. All of which ended with, "What can I do to facilitate your plan?" We did however, get a full-fledged, five-paragraph OPORD on our Brigade Ball next month...

Our sister CAB blatantly says, "Whatever you come up with, we're going to copy."

BN Tank Master Gunner in the hospital with bona fide brain damage following a motorcycle accident.

One Major, one Career Course-graduate Captain, one SF-selectee Captain, one zero Mechanized-experience-promoted-three-months-ago Captain and a Bradley Master Gunner to plan these shenanigans.

Go!

For the record, we're executing on Monday. And I'm not getting divorced.

Yet...
