His NCO got a pretty good ass chewing in formation and shit rolled down hill.Response by SPC Stewart Smith made Dec 16 at 2019 10:54 PM2019-12-16T22:54:56-05:002019-12-16T22:54:56-05:00SGT(P) Private RallyPoint Member5351405<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It means there is no real threat or need for medical personnel, so instead of treating life threatening illness like gonorrhea, you’ll be some SOG’s bitch. 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 PM2019-12-16T23:11:18-05:002019-12-16T23:11:18-05:00WO1 Private RallyPoint Member5351662<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If this is to Qatar, you'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.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 17 at 2019 6:37 AM2019-12-17T06:37:16-05:002019-12-17T06:37:16-05:00CPT Private RallyPoint Member5353462<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When your boots hit the ground the plan most likely will go out the window...
