Robert: So, in your experience, four tenths below the Commanders average, how detrimental is that to someone’s career? Captain Rink: None whatsoever. Robert: Would that be evidence by the fact that he actually received a promotion? Captain Rink: Yes, absolutely. Robert: Okay, and again, I know that you said you had no knowledge of the conversation that he alleged that you had with him, but did that conversation play at all into the statement in the FITREP or making my .4 below your…

If you want to compliment Leo Wieser, tell him his work makes you gag. "Thank you!" he gushes when I mention my queasy stomach. "That's what makes a good career." Wieser, the special effects supervisor for Wynonna Earp, and I are discussing the full-body autopsy scene in last week's episode, "Two-Faced Jack," and I'm apparently not the only one who had a guttural reaction to the sequence. "On set, nothing is better than if you can make the crew go, "Bleh!" he laughs. "For the second time in my…

I was then the Director of Human Resources. I did the same thing that I did as Lieutenant, the only difference was the change in name of rank. I worked very hard throughout my time in FDSA, and I was promoted to Assistant Chief by the Chief. I was now an official member of the High Command team once again. I was Assistant Chief for about 5 years ((5 months)) and I stayed that way for a while…

Upon graduating from the United States Military Academy, I will commission into the Army as a Second Lieutenant and serve as an infantry officer. Knowing this, I have set out to gain a good understanding of what is expected of me upon my arrival at my unit. One way to gain this understanding is to continuously conduct interviews with the past and current members of the infantry branch. By conducting these interviews, I have the ability to learn a lot about what is expected of me and where junior…

encouraging and inspiring noncommissioned officers to think creatively, to be inventive and resourceful. By reassuring younger leaders to be in charge of their sphere of influence, to motivate sergeants to make decisions based on the commander’s end state is to build trailblazers. By allowing young leaders some latitude, they are better able to tell the command team what processes and plans are working, and what they believe might work better. Rather than complain about a mission or a task,…

I had no idea that AROTC was dealing with being an officer and all the roles officers played. Once enrolling I started thinking the words “Army Officer” meant nothing but paper and desk work. Later to find out that the words “Army Officer” has a much deeper passionate meaning than I thought. Over the…

Röhm, however, wanted to eliminate the generalship of the Prussian aristocracy…

But of all the Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) rank, the sergeant has the greatest impact on the lower ranking soldiers. Generally, sergeants are the first line leaders where the privates look for advice and example(s). Sergeants are responsible for the Soldiers individual training, making sure…
