So I just took over a new job in the detachment. I now work in the Information Systems Management Office (ISMO). Basically an IT Help Desk with all kinds of sweet stuff to play around with. I went through and cleaned out the office (more like a hole in the wall) when I went down there and found all kinds of crazy things, tape drives, ZIP Disks, BNC networking cables... I'll post some pics of my hole in the wall later. -------------

| Welcome to my world. When I picked up my job as the tech in a school, I rooted around the office and found everything from zip drives to bags and bags of memory chips, an ancient cell phone, and one very old laptop that we gave to some guy who collects ancient computer equipment. It was fun. |

What pisses me off is that I cannot get rid of any of this ancient
equipment without writing a up a dermo letter, and jumping through
hoops. It annoys the hell out of me.

So write up the letter, with an itemized inventory. Yeah it's a pain in the ass, but it is your job... And a dirt simple task so you can claim you're legitimately busy with stuff. It's just the sort of proactive work superiors notice.

Do they actually have a prop tag on an individual BNC cable or zip disk? If not, toss. I understand that getting rid of some of the smaller things will still leave a lot of larger worthless pieces... but it's a start. And if you can manage to rummage through the entire office (not just your spot)... you could probably make a major project out of clearing out the unnecessary stuff for a major DRMO haul-out. If your superiors are cool... could take cred for it and see if they'll put you up for anything. We've had Corpsmen at our command get NAMs and COMs for the dinkiest projects. |

I already got rid of the small stuff, however there are like 6 old P2 computers a server box, some storage units, tape drives, and so on that are on our records. I was actually thinking about trying to get the P3 server box, and the storage units to play around with if they will let me. As for NAMs and COMs that wouldn't happen because everything I do goes through the Ssgt above me so basically he get credit for all the work. Plus our det is only commanded by a Col so I don't think he can approve something like that. -------------

ouch snake. but at least he got to do his job in the Marine Corps while he was in! BURN 
sounds cool though. to bad the ssgt is a jerk and takes all the credit. more reason for you to sign stuff so they will see your signature not his. and i think a col. can approve a nam. |

Well, I'm done my first week at glorious Canadian Forces Base Petawawa... Pet is a medium sized base with a small town, close to a not quite as small town. There are only a few bars. The women are large and don't wear enough clothing for their size. The ones who are not large have their pick of the litter- Pet is a world class sausagefest. The highlight of the nightlife is Thursday nights at Shots, the 'best' bar in the nearby town of Pembroke. Thursday has free hot dogs. Last ngiht the bar was prety good, but the vast majority of the people therewere other reservists like myself up their for the same thing I am. I imagine without us there the place would be dead. Reservists with lots of money and free time = good for otherwise mediocre local economy? There's about 300 of us up there. The next two weeks will be refresher training on our basic military skills, and then for 3 or 4 months we go to one of the infantry batallions for training of various sorts; different courses, skillsets, etc. By January we should know what our actual jobs overseas will be, and then we start training as a collective task force. I think this is gonna very much be a lots of boredom mixed with bouts of busyness sort of thing. Oh yeah, we're in Ft. Bliss, Texas for the month of February- I get to spend the worst part of winter in Texas, which isn't a bad deal. More to follow as I learn it... ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.
