The only way tacrad won't is if guys start learning more about computers as all the radios are moving to an IP based platform. Setting up masts and dishes is something you can train anyone to do as it is not overly complicated. But, i will agree 100% with the empire building statement. Too many...

Well we did get a new CO who has a lot of promise and seems to really care about the unit albeit he's only been there a month he presents himself well amongst the troops and ncos that the last two were not fond of.

I am at an infantry unit and have been for the last five years and saw 3 different CO's walk through the door. Our unit is lucky to have a platoon sized company at the moment. I would like to say it has everything to do with the no mission thing but sadly its not. Most of the time its injuries...
