So, while I was in we had a lot of...strange stuff come down from BN to say the least. And not a single E-4 thought they made any sense. It got me thinking, what if every commander from the position of BC on up had an E4 assigned to him. This E4's duty would be to squash the good idea fairy every time she reared her ugly head. He gets 3 vetos a month in garrison, but his position is relegated to something similar to aide or driver in combat, thus ensuring the proper person is giving proper orders (well hopefully..) to soldiers in harms way. I mean, we all know the mafia is willing to use their buddy's as the butt of a joke and we don't want that type of stuff in combat. This goes all the way to the top, to the Joint Chief's themselves. If you're in a position of command, you can be assured there will be a SPC there by your side ensuring you are successful in keeping morale up.

That would be great except I don't know one single specialist who would actually want to be that specialist assigned to the BC. We are usually trying to stay as far away from that dude as possible.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I worked for a BN CSM, this was one of my unspoken extra responsibilities. Anytime the CSM or the BN CO would come up with a project or plan that was morale focused the office team would be polled on our opinion, and if we assumed the plan would succeed. This obviously didn't apply to mission sensitive issues, but where our opinion was relevant it was considered.

SPC Joshua Heath , it seems like you had a good command team. One that's above average, not the usual it's our way or nothing at all type deal. Glad they took your opinion into consideration!!

I kinda like it, I know that is what SGMs are there for but they are are so high up I feel that there is a disconnect. Heck I see my divisional commander(2-3 times a year) and battalion commander(at least once every other drill) more than I see my battalions CSM. I see him exactly once year for an event I volunteer for to get out of drill. How is the CSM doing his job if he isn't out taking the pulse of the troops
