Most of the time, it is only a handful of notes that your squad leader could've updated you with. However, there are times when there is important notes that need to be put out and answered right on the spot. Please, feel free to share your experiences with this notorious dilemma.

2200? Were you deployed, doing training, or in a job that worked non traditional hours?

Fort Hood in 2007. I was a SPC then and our 1SG wanted an NCOER that was due by COB from our PSG. He said "your platoon won't leave until I get it."

I don't think staying late or going early that would matter as far as good notes, we have cell phone. But if anything require you physical attend, then you have stay late.

I had a PSG a couple years back that would make us squad leaders stay until he was ready to put notes out which was right before he was ready to leave for the day most of the time it was around 1800 to 1900 or later. There was one instance were 2 of the squad leaders went home for the day and he made them come back in to get notes and there was no notes to put out that was a little g day.

My time schedule is different but three hours is the most we've had to wait. And what was so important? "Nothing to put out"

PSG meetings are great if they are just that. I've been to some that usually get dragged out due to the 1SG reading his emails or a conversation about something other than work. I'm not an expert but I do believe that it would go quicker if the info was put out and passed down to the next level subordinates, which would pass it down to their troops via phone call or some other means of communication. But that just makes sense, and that's not allowed in some cases.

The longest I had to stay was until about 0100. It was supposed to be an early release with a four day following. One of the NCO's decided that he would just hit the road at lunch time instead of comming back for the maditory safety brief. Before the brief they did a role call to ensure everyone was there (they had been some issues in the unit so they were covering there asses with the safety briefs). Everyone had to wait until the NCO turned around and arrived back to the unit.

Oh the days of mass punishment. You would figure that the NCO would be dealt with later, but no...

No unfortunatly the 1SG we had at the time truly believed in mass punishment. All the PLT SGT's tried to persway him to release everyone else but they kept getting denied.
