I remember the lean times in 3/3rd SFG(A) just after the first Haiti deployment under
LTC Schroer. Every trip we went on, we lost separate rats, had almost no budget, and had to eat MRE’s or buy food on our own dime. Just prior to my first trip to Uganda, my 18C had the team members all chip in personal $$ to buy a chainsaw because they wouldn’t buy us one out of the trip budget. Anyone who has been to that region knows that the wood there is impossible to cut with normal tools and we had to build our base camp from scratch, as there were no buildings at our training site. Amazing how quickly the game and money has changed.
I was one of those guys standing in line at the cage in finance waiting for my $500 while the 7th Groupers were walking away with big wads of cash.
During a jumpmaster MTT in Zimbabwe,
LTC Schroer had us eating (starving) in the host nation mess hall at One Commando for (about) $1.00 a day for three meals per soldier. Dudes had to go downtown to Harare to get their own food because they were just not getting enough to eat. Even though many complained about the poor conditions of the rations, nothing was done about it. Eventually, guys started raiding the supply of MRE’s that were brought for contingencies.
LTC Schroer was so pissed off about soldiers “stealing” food that he had all personnel in country (including teams from remote sites conducting JCET’s) assemble at One Commando military base to get their ass chewed for being dishonest and weak soldiers.
If you followed the link on this post you would understand how ironic all of this was. I can’t believe that we have leaders like this in SF.
How many of you QP’s out there can say you got your ass chewed by a transgender freak?
