leromt replied to the topic Turn the Ship Around! Week 1 Discussion in the forum Junior Officer 5 years, 3 months ago
Should you want to be “missed” from your organization after you leave? Why or why not?
BLUF:Â I’d like to be missed on both the personal and professional side, but I don’t want to be missed functionally.
Everybody wants to be liked, appreciated, and missed when they aren’t there (right?). On the personal side, I’m no different. I’d lik…[Read more]

Can you turn the “P” in LPD into “Personal” and do the dog-tag exercise, or perhaps the Great Teams exercise? This would help with team building and personal connections. Just a thought.

leromt replied to the topic NCOs and Officers in the forum Junior Officer 6 years, 2 months ago
As an NCO for close to 10 years and then an officer for 16 more, here is my take:
1. As @Lucas.v.hobbs mentions, as an NCO I wanted to be “friends” with my lieutenant/captain but to me that meant having a friendly/joking working relationship. I did not expect to be friends that went to dinner together or spent time at each other’s house. I jus…[Read more]

glazerthekid started the topic How to avoid snowbird (or should I?) in the forum Junior Officer 6 years, 3 months ago
Hello,
I recently received my BOLC date and even with the two months of leave I will still have a month and a half of snowbirding. People always talk about snowbirding as something to be avoided but what does it entail? And if it is something I want to avoid, what else can I do besides it?
Thank you

Dallas,
I believe your response appeared at the bottom because you “quoted” the reply you responded to rather than “replied.” I know that sounds odd but that’s what appears to be happening. When I press “reply” to a sub-reply, the reply box opens directly under the one I’m responding to, however, if I press “quote”, I’m taken all the way to the…[Read more] -

leromt replied to the topic Your Biggest Knowledge Gap (August 2017 JO Jam) in the forum Junior Officer 6 years, 9 months ago
I found that I understood the things I needed to do, I just couldn’t figure out an optimal battle rhythm in which to get them all accomplished. Â My lack of knowledge on how to manage my time was a huge distractor for me.

Not sure if there’s one in the 173d Commander’s Smartbook but you might find some other useful things in there: Â 173rd IBCT Smartbook

Josh,
Typically, you are authorized travel time, mileage, and per-diem from your home of record. Â However, because of your TDY, you may not receive the travel time, but, you should still receive at least the mileage and per diem. Â It’s best to check with the transportation office where you are to confirm. Â In the meantime, here is a link that mi…[Read more]

Micah,
Some good stuff on your document, a few of them I did not think about when I made my 3 DITY moves.
One other thing I would add is to make sure you have a load plan. Â For example, I did not plan to unload EVERYTHING the first day we arrived so I made sure that I loaded some things last, like the kid’s bed stuff, pet supplies, some pots…[Read more]

For those who are not sure how the new “Blended” retirement system differs from the current system, I’ve attached a 1-page PDF to help explain it. Â Additionally, here is a link to a story that explains it more deeply.

Brock,
What a great question.
I don’t try to “deliver a message” when I tell people what I do / have done for a living.  I tell them my story…how I joined the Army for three years to earn money for college so I could then get “a real job.”  I explain how in high school I always thought that the people who joined the Service were just too la…[Read more]
