No-Go for 7th Group
I got promoted out of my assignment. Yep, I was all set to report to Fort Bragg and 7th Group in January. Hell, I was just about ready to start outprocessing from my current unit. But then the MSG selection list came out, and yours truly is on it. Radar Rider discovers that 7th Group is overstrength for MI E-8s. I told my Branch Manager to just send me to Fort Bragg; I’ll be a 1SG anywhere available. No such luck.
So, I will be staying at Fort Meade. Things are looking good for me to be a 1SG here. That should be good for me, because if I have a Company I can take care of Soldiers, which is what I really like to do in the Army anyway.
I’ll have opportunities later to get back to Bragg. If nothing else in 20 years of service, I’ve certainly learned to adapt to my environment.
On that note, does anybody need to rent a three-bedroom house in Fayetteville?
