Best Additional duty for young NCO?

Are you talking about at company level or for your development?

This is a tangent. The worst additional duty for a 2LT is to be a Movement Officer. I got tagged to be OIC of an armor brigade railroading. I was blamed for a slow operation. How do I control a whole brigade of Officers, CSMs, and the soldiers who had the responsibility of proving requisite manpower for railroading their battalions vehicles? How could I ensure that all the battalions will execute in proper synchronization and sequence? I was an ignorant 2LT, but they expected too much from me.

I was the Movement Officer again when our armor company deployed to Kuwait. I had to synchronize with a 747 to take us to Kuwait. I coordinated for the smaller metal containers, did a packing list, and ensured the were blocked and braced. I also had to get some G-2 on Kuwait. It kind of sucked working that time because I had very little downtime before deploying.

Heed my advice about being a Movement Officer. If you have no choice in the matter, then you know what to expect.

I apologize about my mistakes. It’s 2400 now and I am tired.

A&E Key control, it tends to be the most ate up and the biggest POS available for you to fix.
