At that I point I realized we had created feudal lords to rule over us!
Another General office story of Really??? We held an exercise in the Republic of Georgia a few years back. Now for those that aren’t up on the old east-bloc plumbing standards, every place we went had “squatty holes”. Well for the building our CG was going to stay in (he was there about two whole weeks) “they” had a “Commander’s Toilet” installed…and it came with a clean crew to boot! I still have the email somewhere from the G-3 that ordered everyone in the Task Force to stay away from the CGs potty!

When I was an aide I was handed a piece of paper to photocopy standing in front of the photocopy machine. I asked my boss if he knew how to use said machine. "Yup, but this is your job." Every day thereafter was a quest to endure through the rest of the job and take lessons in how not to be a leader.
