    Finished the sashimi and tempura, then went back home and fell asleep.

    Woke up in the middle of the night since it is midafternoon on my own time clock which is 12 hours off everybody else's.

    My red Sangria wine is running low, so is my white Pinot Grigio, and my tequila, and my moonshine. Next week I will need to make a liquor run.

    Maybe on Tuesday. I might get Tuesday off.

    Training prep was a success. We will start training in a couple days. I'll try and login on my phone if possible but you won't see much of me here for a bit.

    Anyway, the dog had a nice weekend. We went to a couple different dog parks, a few rides in the truck, and watched football. His sleep schedule is really beginning to match mine. He is usually making himself comfortable in the bed, or on the ground next to it (where his bed is), after dinner. He knows I go to bed early.

    This evening's pre-dining experience at the truckstop:

    Me, walking towards restaurant.

    Her, approaching me from the car parking lot.

    Her: "garbled"

    Me: "huh?"

    Her: "I want to talk to you."

    Me: "why?"

    Her: "#@%$ you, you $&!#£@€ #%!@&."

    Since we're on the topic of truck stops . . . a real C&W song by a real C&W singer (not one of those pretty boys singing modern C&W).

    She was probably going to ask for money.

    It's hard to make it through a truckstop lot without somebody asking for something.

    So get this. I sent 6 soldiers (4 of them NCO's) for a training in FL.

    They ALL (emphasis on ALL) forgot their military drivers licenses.

    We're now in a group text :)

    Commander was not very happy with me. I took the blame of course, as they are my soldiers and 100% my responsibility.

    I did my gear inspections yesterday and I delegated documentation inspections to another NCO.

    Him and I are not going to have a good conversation tomorrow.

    Maybe you should let the enlisted folk do their jobs? Your NCO document checker should know what equipment is needed, and how to stow it. If not, youse gots work to do. You should be able to just do a cursory double-check of that stuff

    Occifers be the paper pushing experts.

    Meh, I'm an O1. I won't be an actual paper pusher until I'm an XO or a higher rank. Right now I still train heavily with my guys.

    The fault lies on me, obviously. But I have to delegate. The NCO I delegated for this task had ONE JOB to do. Maybe there was miscommunication but this is bad. It's not the end of the world, but it makes us look unorganized. It's the first issue I've run into in this unit.

    OK. If you want to reinforce the idea that you are an integrated team member, I can see that...

    What is your intended plan for this NCO document checker? Are you hoping for an assistant manager, or a secretary? Just curious.

    I bet that during your discussion with him, you will remind him that you told him to verify posession of all documents, properly filled and filed.

    Including the licenses...

    His primary duties have nothing to do with checking documents. In fact, he's been with this unit for a long time. I asked him to take care of this for me because I trust him to do a great job at everything he does. He's no secretary or ast. manager. He's an NCO and a leader.

    He just ****ed up an easy task, is all.
