My job at the foodlion grocery store in Roebuck was an unenjoyable working experience to say the least. When I first began working at Foodlion the job was fun and I enjoyed it but as time went on it got worse and worse. As time went on the longer I worked there the more disrespectful my co-workers and supervisors got. My co-workers began to be more disrespectful to me talking about me behind my back and making fun of everyone. My supervisors did not care at all about what was going on during the
headquarters and made direct coordination with the Combat Commanders. 11. This practice had disastrous consequences with the II Corp operations order for the defense of Sidi Bou Zid. The order specified the exact locations of Combat Command A’s battalions and some companies (thus, II Corp not only bypassed the division HQ, but also bypassed BG Mcquillen’s Combat Command HQ). To make matters worse, since MG Fredendall rarely left his HQ, this overly directive order was based only on a map
(ABCT) to assume command as the brigade commander brings me much joy to be reunited with great Non-Commission Officers and Officers that I have previously served with. Unfortunately, this brigade is no longer the brigade I remember when I commanded a battalion within the 4th ABCT not so long ago. In the last 30 days, I have had the opportunity to observe the ABCT and review a multitude of historical documents to assess the state of the brigade. During my observation, I believe the critical leadership problem

After a few weeks to observe the 4th ABCT, I have had the opportunity to gather the facts that will facilitate my overall assessment and way ahead for the BCT. The unit still has the legacy of greatness that I remember serving with as a battalion commander, and has the potential to regain that prowess. Sadly, a failure in leadership at the senior field grade level is the reason this BCT is not reaching its full potential. ADP 6-22 defines leadership as, “the process of influencing people by providing
The 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team Without knowledgeable and qualified leaders at every level of civilian or military organization people will work in an unhealthy environment and their output and performance will suffer.

Dinner was served at noon and after dinner

The Army has been at war since September 11th, 2001. I learned a very harsh and cold lesson in the fall of 2003. The vast majority of the civilian populace in the countries in which we operate are good people. Unfortunately we find ourselves in situations where good people must die. It is an unfortunate recourse of warfare. Introduction I am currently an Anti-Armor Platoon Sergeant in Dealer Company 1-506th Infantry Regiment “CURRAHEE”. I joined the Army in August of 2001, and have

The acronym stands for Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. In this paper I am going to write what each value means in my own words and why it is important for a Non Commissioned Officer in the United States Army to possess them in order to be a good Non Commissioned Officer. Loyalty to me is having a
