Silly goose Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Quote Daby's been bumped to LCpl from Cpl for lack of leadership experience, but we're looking to rectify that. If the situation calls for it, please set him as a squad lead and carefully monitor his performance. I'll be around to watch him personally if I'm able. -Vickers Link to comment
Silly goose Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Quote Speaking of medical: I've had a complaint that requests for medevac aren't being acknowledged, and that medics aren't being given the time to check for minor wounds and stop them becoming major ones. I know it's difficult to keep medical needs in mind when you're worrying about the rest of your guys getting eaten, but I've seen wounded left behind, and apparently troopers have died due to medevac not being called. I'm aware this goes both ways and I'm continually passing on to medical that we need time estimates and mobility reports from them - but do ask for them if they're not coming. As always, it's a communication thing. -Vickers Link to comment
Silly goose Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Quote NCO meeting tomorrow evening. Let me know if you can/can't attend so I know how many doughnuts to get. Current main topics are discipline and communication/coordination. Bring anything else you want to bring up - let me know about it beforehand if possible. -Vickers (RSVP please) Link to comment
Silly goose Posted August 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Quote I've demoted Mr. Amukama from his position as a Lance Corporal due to a carefree attitude when it came to the safety of others. Don't consider this as a one-off punishment. We have a massively important time directly ahead of us. People are going to die - people you are responsible for. Do not lose sight of the human element of that. Negligence is not just a legal term, it's about not considering risks. I have no issue with combat leaders taking considered risks with full view of potential consequences. I take severe issue with anyone who doesn't respect the risks, especially if they're putting other people in a position of danger. I don't want to ever hear words like 'pussy' or 'coward' used to demean people who are taking a measured and professional approach to what they are doing. We are a fully trained, fully paid, personally responsible fighting force, not a rabble of thugs. We kill Separatists all the time because of their poor training and disregard for the risks. Controlled aggression is the name of the game. Fuck up the enemy, but always on your own terms. We're petting a burning dog, here. Anyone not wearing gloves is an idiot. If you see the same danger-friendly attitude cropping up anywhere else, crush it. -Vickers Link to comment
Silly goose Posted August 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Quote I've asked medical to list Private Samantha Louis as unfit for operational duties. I've had a report, corroborated by two others, that she had on her person unprescribed medication, and, as retribution for a prank, locked other troopers in one of the ship's airlocks and threatened to space them. She's currently under watch. I'm up-chaining this to the officers, but keep an eye out. -Vickers Link to comment
fuck me dead Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Pinned to the cork board is simple note slip that reads, Quote If any of you happen to stumble across a precooked 'Sticky Pasta Dinner' please let me know. Thanks. -Miller Link to comment
fuck me dead Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Quote Just a quick one. Yesterday evening a quarrel broke out between Lance Corporal Samantha Ruse and Emry Gentry, a recruit. Having been advised by Zeem to check it out, I found the two in the enlisted barracks yelling at one other. I managed to step in before anything got physical, however, I would keep a watchful eye on the two of them. Especially Lance Corporal Ruse. Their behavior recently has been unpredictable which can be alarming seeing their short temper. -Ernest Miller Link to comment
Appetite Ruining Kebab Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Quote Per Staff Sergeant Solomons' orders, all NCOs must run an activity once every 14 days. Make it a course. A lecture. A game. If it benefits the platoon, you do it. Once you have done so, report it to me (Westervelt) either in person, or through mail. Slackers will be confronted and dealt with accordingly. - Westervelt 1 Link to comment
Appetite Ruining Kebab Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Quote The Armory has received an influx of 40mm Grenade variants designed for use in the UGL attachment & Triple Barrel Grenade Launcher. I've attached a link to your PDAs that lead to an overview of these new toys. Expect more information on their usage & qualification process in the near future. For now, a personal tip: the M430A1 HEDP is capable of penetrating into enemy Marauder suits. Questions go to Gunnery Sergeant Wells. - Westervelt // Link to comment
Silly goose Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Quote I'm cycling out of the platoon, but I'll still be on the boat. Send me a message if you need a word or you have a question about anything. I'll try to answer or hook up a meeting between shifts. -Vickers Link to comment
Silly goose Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Quote I've bumped Layland down from Lance. He's writing an essay about what he did wrong - attitude and discipline issue. Once he's finished, I'll consider giving him his rank back. In the meantime, I'd appreciate anyone who feels tempted to consult with me first. Oh, and if you could let me know if he tries to sneak past me to get his rank back, that would be useful. I don't think he will, but it's worth saying. -Vickers 1 Link to comment
Appetite Ruining Kebab Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Quote Private First Class Heller is a capable combat leader and a fair prospect for Lance. She has my endorsement for the promotion. If you see her in your drop, consider giving her a leadership role. Relay your endorsements to me, and I'll pass it up the chain. - Westervelt Link to comment
Silly goose Posted November 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Quote Just to tag onto that, she's a ten year vet. The issue is that her attitude is one of fuel for the meatgrinder. I'll have to be pretty fucking convinced that's not going to needlessly endanger anyone before I rubber-stamp any step up from lance. Keep it in mind, keep an eye on it, and watch how she treats anyone in her squads. Cynicism is fine. Treating these people as expendable is not. -Vickers Link to comment
Appetite Ruining Kebab Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Quote Donovan is losing her ability to carry glowsticks both on and off field for a week, effective immediately. Reasons mainly stem from her inability to put them away in serious contexts, with repeated warnings beforehand. If you see her going against this order, let me know. - Westervelt Link to comment
MasterMedicMan Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Quote a want to see shuno promoted but a donno if he's goin looney or no. should prolly keep tabs n tha platoon needs to work on usin their fuckin words. fuckin brutal in the field when ur no gettin information fae yer squaddies. need to give more radio updates on task progress/completion, keep excess patter aff the talky. -smd Link to comment

Silly goose Posted November 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Quote Use Parker and Williams as squad seconds if you get the chance. Sounding out potential. -Vickers Link to comment
MasterMedicMan Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Quote parker did 'eh' when chosen as a second. a didnae consult squadleader post-drop, hands were tied, no nco brief. a dunno which williams ur on about. we av 2. -smd Link to comment
Silly goose Posted November 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Quote Shame. She seemed to take the initiative as a rifleman. I'll look into it. Talking about Jake Williams, also. -Vickers Link to comment
Silly goose Posted November 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Quote Williams wants to stay as a rifleman for now. Let's check in with him now and then. I think he's got it. From now on highest ranking marauder is invited to NCO debrief so we can give feedback. They're starved for it apparently. If they've been dumb, tell 'em. -Vickers Link to comment
Silly goose Posted December 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Quote Turns out Asahi is a natural at small team leadership. Try him out as a 2iC at some point. He knocked it out of the park today in training. -Vickers Link to comment
Silly goose Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Quote Secret Santa is on. If possible, do some ceremonies/events for gift giving. Make a song and dance of it. -Vickers P.S January will be the platoon's moustache competition. Don't make anyone shave off anything they've already worked on, but start policing stubble a little more so they're all used to being clean shaven. Link to comment
Silly goose Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Quote Since the platoon's been handling itself well lately, I've decided now's as good a time as any to ship off to OCS. I'll be gone for a while, but I've asked Sgt. Maj. Moss to keep an eye in and make sure everything stays ship-shape. He's more strict than I am, but I trust SSgt. Caffrey to keep you all up to speed on meeting his exacting standards. If there's any business which needs to be handled with me directly, bring it to me today, or it'll be waiting until I return. -Vickers Link to comment
