I had short flash to bang as E FSC was new, unequipped and undermanned, plus filled w some problem castaways. That, getting rid of those who didn’t want to be soldiers took me a lot of time. The other challenges were creating systems to organize every activity. I later learned you don’t and can’t do everything at once. I prepared by reading company command and interviewing as many former commanders as I could, having lunch w then, a habit dating back to my Lt days.
