Damn it's hard rasing these officers. I prepare a breif each evening, highlighting the events that pertain to the unit we're at, then the cpt comes in, polishes it a bit, then does the breif. Last night he came in, looked what I thought was important enough to put on their, and got all pissy about. I was putting in unimportant shit and leaving out the things that matter and this isn't how it should be done and you're gonna have to brief this. He acted like making me breif was a punishment or something (I've done breifs for four star generals and all the way down, like a colnel is scary).
But then he actually reveiwed the entire breif, script and slides, got up and briefed it, then came back and said I was right. He wanted the showy events in the breif, to give him something exciting to talk about. I put in the 3 little reports that appear unimportant, until you look at where they are, and remeber what the unit did last night, and what it's planning on doing tonight, and then it becomes very important.
And raising a formerlly infantry officer is even more, um, challenging.
