Pre-deployment briefs.....

[Saltej_77]

I've got a whole day of this stuff. Preparation classes, financial classes, yadda yadda. Boredom is the biggest understatement. Please keep me entertained tbh lol.

Sounds rather important actually. Thx for going over there though.

Thank God for cell phones, and invisible magic Internet. Without tbh I would be thinking about the worst.

LOL, You're lucky brother! All of my deployment briefs were in a tin can, and you couldnt get service if you wanted to!

You're very right, these things are very important. However when you've had the same classes from the same people several times. As an EOD team Sgt. I have to be exposed to these situations all the time with my guys.

That sounds just terrible, I truly feel for you.

North Fort Hood and they were walking up and down the rows making sure we were paying attention. After repeating the same things over and over, some of us jut walked out. They do get boring (toning important), but if we don't get it by the second repetition, we ain't gonna get it, no need to repeat 10 times

We received briefs for everything. If you were going to 29 stumps, you got a brief. Going to Bridgeport for cold weather training, you got a 2 day brief. Also received another brief when you got there from the instructors.

At this point all I can think of is Duck hunting, Knocking down a few more deer before the season closes, what exotic I wanna hunt before my wedding/deployment lol those are the important matters.

If I could vanquish one thing from my 7 yr stint...it would be the repetitive death by PP and CBTs. One training and that's it, not a every year or deployment cycle.
