    When I was stationed in West Germany... I was selected by the Battalion CO for the TOC security detail during ReForGer'88. Our CSM was a lazy asshole, he threw a log across the triple strand concertina wire barrier so he wouldn't have to walk the extra 30ft to the entrance to get to the TOC. The Battalion CO sent him back to post for that, but he came back 3 days later and started giving us in the security detail grief. He didn't like that we used flashlights with red filters to check our secure area at night. He didn't like that I had built a functioning shower for the security detail. And most of all he didn't like how I secured our otherwise exposed eastern perimeter with firework booby-traps to represent Claymore mines that he and his hand picked 'OpFor' assault team triggered during their unauthorized assault on our position and were declared dead by the referee he had wrangled to watch. I swear that guy hated other Enlisted.

    On my last deployment to Iraq in 2006, the 1st Intel Bn SgtMaj would see us going to chow and ask if he could join us. He was cool, but a little weird. I wasn't even in his unit haha. He did save our ass though when we got caught driving a gator around without PPE gear by some random 1stSgt. He was holding us hostage in his trailer and I asked to make a phone call. Called the SgtMaj and we were free to go 5 minutes later 😂

    I was lucky. Muy CSM of the 980th Eng. Brg (USAR) back in the late 90's was a super cool dude. He was this short Latino guy (I think from Puerto Rico although I could be wrong) who went around motivating us and doing spontaneous stuff like challenging us to PT runs and fun stuff like that. He was all abou tthe "Hooah" spirit and didn't micromanage unless there was a serious problem that needed it. So yeah no issues or nightmares with my CSM. Loved the guy. Back in 1996 I think it was, I did accidentally take the lunch tray of the CSM of Ft. Irwin which I played off as doing on purpose (even though it was purely accidental). That was freak'n hilarious. He was yelling for someone to go fetch his M9. lol He complemented me for having a lot of balls. I didn't realize I had the wrong tray until I looked down at my tray and saw a well-starched Army cap with a WHOLE LOT OF CHEVRONS on it. I was like "Oooooh shiiiiiiiit I'm so fuuuuuucked!!!!" But he was cool about it and we had a good lunch together exchanging stories.

      Reserves are 180 from Active Duty.

      @@9983sp In some ways yes, in other ways no. My unit was lucky in that we had priority funding and training. We also had to pass the same PT tests as active duty and meet the same standards in our training in general. However, it was definitely more laid back than active duty as well as very tightly knit as we all were from the same city or surrounding area.
      Also while our training was good, we weren't able to train nearly as much as active duty. However during operations with active duty units, our unit was always in demand to assist armored units, infantry units, and engineer units in building bunkers, building support facilities, and helping to create armor and infantry fighting positions. I remember one general who flew in for a photo-op, being blown away that we had built a Roman-era A-frame crane when our construction vehicle platoon was tasked in other areas. That A-frame coupled with a simple block and tackle winch system, worked surprisingly well. One thing that also made our unit quite effective is that we had a large number of ex-Marines, ex-SF, and older Vietnam combat veterans (serving out their time needed for retirement points).
      Because of that and because of our experts in construction (who did construction in their civilian careers), we were a very squared away Army Reserve unit that I was lucky to be a part of.

    Ankle socks…..lol. Exactly, why I loved being in an SF Bn….ankle socks,calf-high, whatever, so long as they were white…and a brown army t-shirt, black running shorts (spandex shorts underneath optional--black or gray).No stupid-ass BN runs. Either team-level or Det level PT after Bn morning formation. For bi-annual 20K (w/65 lbs, just our PT Uniform with green army socks and jungle/hot weather boots, no helmet-instead, drive-on rag, PC, boonie hat…or nothing; used rubber ducky instead of getting swept and dirt all over our assigned M-4s.
