Myself and other soldiers were under the impression that the guide on gets moved back inside when the commander leaves for the day.
Also, the last person besides the commander , can ask the commander if they would like the guide on placed inside of the commander is still inside after everyone leaves.
Well yesterday, there was mass punishment against soldiers because the guide On was left outside over night. The thing is, the soldiers got released and there were still Jr NCOS, Senior NCOS, and LTs after the soldiers had gotten released.
Was it right to punish the soldiers conduct corrective training in this scenario?
We are dealing with toxic leadership. There are many other things happening within our company and NCOs aren’t speaking up for the wrong doings and us soldiers feel unheard, mistreated, uncared for.
About 6 of us are planning on using the open door policy with the CDR and the next will be IG.
What do you all think? The other day they made every single soldier who was a meal card holder miss out on dinner because they wanted 2875s done.
Instead of utilizing every NCO to ensure their soldiers have completed the forms. They kept us all there until 640 pm.
As I stated, there are a lot of things that are going on and the morale of the soldiers is nearly 2 out of 10. Sensing sessions don’t solve any issues.

Three people are responsible for the Guidon: Guidon Bearer, the 1SG, and the Commander.
Define Mass Punishment. Was it punishment or corrective training? What exactly was done?
Meal Card Holders were held in place and missed dinner chow? That right there alone is enough to run this up the flag pole to the BN CSM with their open door policy.

One of the things I've seen CSM's get red in the face about is Soldiers missing chow, mine looked like he was going to snap some people in half when it happened to a group of us.

There is one person to blame here. The guidon bearer. That is, quite literally, their job.

The CQ was there all night, he should have brought it in, if it was out after duty hours. He is COs rep and in charge of the company area during his tour.

I would think the CQ and runner would be in the orderly room. Usually a central location in the company area and used to be same location as arms room, so more security added. Also, the company phone rings there. Must be humongous barracks nowadays to hold more than one company. Back in the day, we had one platoon per barracks building.

MAJ Ronnie Reams - I don't think I have ever heard of a CQ or Staff Duty at the Ord Rm. CQ is literally "Charge of Quarters" and stays near the barracks.

That is how we did it. From the orderly room, one could look down the company street and see the barracks and the mess hall. Also, the weapons were in the supply room half of the building and the telephone was in the orderly room. The CQ or the runner made personal checks of the area. Also, the orderly room was where troops signed in and out on pass, leave etc.

Every single active duty Battery I have been assigned to the CQ brought the Guidon in at night. From Basic/AIT to my last active duty unit (6 in all). This is because typically, the Battery Commander would usually not be leaving the Battery Area until after the Battery was dismissed for the day meaning the the Guide On Bearer was already off duty. Typically, the CQ would send the Runner out after the BC left the building and brought it into the Orderly Room which may or may not have been in the Barracks (some of my Batteries had more than one building for Admin and Barracks.).
