Hauling people back and forth to Ontario airport on emergency leave. There may be a situation where you sign for equipment, supplies, or munitions to be pushed out to the box

Addendum: white cell is usually an extension of the S1 doing Red Cross messages and emergency leave. Occasionally you get sick or injured that can't be down range to shuttle to Weed Army Clinic. Most importantly, you need to get with the NCOIC and figure out what your task/purpose in White Cell. SGT(P) (Join to see)

Making the lines at Burger King, Popeyes, the PX, Commissary, and barber shop exceptionally long for permanent party personnel.

That is very helpful! I am looking for better comments than that. This isn't my first rodeo. Please keep the commentary constructive.

LTC Mackay covered everything else. You will literally be running the streets of Fort Irwin when not on shift.

I make it a point to keep my feedback honest on this forum. Two courses of action for RTU attending a NTC rotation-

1: You’re in the box working your ass off to become more proficient at your warrior tasks and battle drills.

2: You’re assigned to the white cell where you’ll be bored to tears and eating fast food daily.

I might have a little insight about the way things work here, I’m only on my 14th rotation as an OC, so this clearly isn’t my first rodeo either.

I didn’t come on here to start a fight. I came on here to get some factual information. So you can imaging how thrilled I was to see your initial post. I’m not the Private that thinks he needs to go to the PX everyday. I’d rather play pinochle and pack my gear so that I can go home. You definitely have a wealth of information after that many rotations. Thank you for your feedback.
