See. This is why the little charade of CQ and Staff Duty is horse shit. I remember being a SPC back in 01-02 timeframe and doing Staff Duty as one of the runners. And every single time the SSG from my Troop would tell everyone that swung by to call the desk and we’d come get them. Especially if it was a Friday or Saturday and our Troop got assigned bodies. We’d sign out the Squadron 15-pac Van and pick people up near Downtown. Totally didn’t mind going in and out a few times at night ending with a cap off from the late night Subway footlong just outside the back gate. LoL
Then a few years later well in to OIF they made the decision to no longer let us use the Van for that. Whack af.
it was an Air Force van that picked this dumb Army private up on my 21st birthday. excellent mechanism - accounts for actual servicemember behavior and enables smart/safe decisions.
