PFC Private RallyPoint Member 5350906 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So today we found out for our upcoming deployments where we will be heading and what our takings should be. My name is under ECP-Tower. Which I know is entry control point/guard tower but can anyone tell me what that entails? Anyone been a 68W and deployed with this tasking? What does the task ECP/Tower mean I will be doing on deployment? 2019-12-16T20:04:01-05:00 PFC Private RallyPoint Member 5350906 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So today we found out for our upcoming deployments where we will be heading and what our takings should be.

His NCO got a pretty good ass chewing in formation and shit rolled down hill.

SOG stands for sergeant of the guard. Can’t remember if the Army uses that term, but it was a thing in the Marines. At any rate, enjoy your “deployment.” Response by SGT(P) Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 16 at 2019 11:11 PM 2019-12-16T23:11:18-05:00 2019-12-16T23:11:18-05:00 WO1 Private RallyPoint Member 5351662 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If this is to Qatar, you&#39;ll likely be replacing my Soldier in our S-3 shop lol.

However, medics often can be assigned to the QRF element in case there is an incident that requires a medic.
