Well I‘d like to say that I‘m in the army and I am not a cadet.
My bitch for today is that I hate the fact that when I‘m out on a FTX I find it amusing that we always know where the enemy is!
If you are a sec. comd. and up you will understand.
I have been on many FTX‘s of all kinds, from a 3 day to a full 5 month x when we had them way back when, I even had the priviledge of working and playing with the best (jtf2).
With all this TI all x‘s where scripted like a movie and it is getting worse for the young troops because soldier skills in the field are being lost, its sad and very boring to hear " move the pl left and another 500 meters they will be there!"
This is my suggestion: this will be at pl level
2 pl‘s red pl blue pl
each pl has a recce sect
16 grid squares of any terrain so it looks like 4 grids by 4 grids
platoons are opposet of each other and dropped of where the pl O wants the pl, from there its anyones guess where the other pl is, so now you have 2 pl‘s hunting each other down looking and trying not to be seen, you can us the recce dets or be bold and make recce dets out of half the pl or go stupid and do a/c until you make contact!
It will be more effective because all people will be challenged with skills and all the other stuff and the best it will be rewarding and fun.
People going to a jlc or iscc can be brushed up, i‘ve heard and witnessed bad cpl‘s and the likes not knowing how to nav or do a simple sect. attack!
Once again this is my idea and its just an idea but i would like to hear some feed back and i have many more issues to hack.
next will be about stupid things we do in the field.
RED CON 21 roger out!
