What should I read before my 1st Joint staff duty?

Hadn't even thought of JKO; I'm used to just going on NKO. I'll have to browse it. Thanks for the suggestion.

CDR (Join to see), another tip on JKO, sir; once you log in to JKO courses, edit your profile and update your "Primary Organization" before completing any courses. Getting the unit right should force-feed some of your courses, and will ensure that your Training Coordinator has visibility of what you complete.

Interesting comment about "if you really want the job". You do understand the concept of INVOLUNTARY mobilization, right? I'm a submarine warfare officer, and spent most of my career in submarine escape and rescue. I have NEVER done any staff duty. So I honestly am looking for a starting point of references to read. I don't have the slightest idea of what you are talking about with, "quit asking for the easy way out of reading" when I am soliciting ideas of what to read. Please stop following this thread if you are just looking for negative things.

CDR (Join to see) - I will quit following it. But if you look at all the posts, mine started out trying to point out the glaring mistakes that you made. Try reading the title you actually wrote, not what you thought you wrote. My experience has been that the grammar & spelling causes doubt when things are posted. That would not be favorable for your staff position.

I apologize for my comment but as a Commander I would have thought that position would have given insight to the requirements.

As far as my negativity other officers are quick to fire at me and not say anything to you.

Good Luck with your assignment.

No officers commented on typos because they understand the difference between typographical errors and a lack of spelling ability. They understand that with today's technology things don't always appear as you type them (as you discovered with autocorrect). My Ipad is old and has been dropped too many times, so often it will display the letter next to the key I touch, and other times display nothing at all. The type size is very small, and at times I don't feel like getting my reading glasses. And finally, they understand the difference between a professional communication that needs to be checked and double checked and a social media forum that requires only that the reader can understand the meaning.

My question to you sir is did you see the original post prior to it being corrected? I have learned that usually we work as we practice. As stated originally, I was pointing out a glaring problem that should not happen when in that position. Yes my auto-correct changed a word, it did not leave out a word. It was asked what to read and I pointed out start with the basic. But being the enlisted guy beating up on a fellow office obviously has shown my that I am below all the educated officers since that is how you get commissioned. I admit I am not part of the good old boy club.

I somehow doubt that I'll have to worry about typing on a web-page while also dealing with a kid who has a cold while deployed. (Plus, you do realize SSgt Jorgensen that it is "JPME I" (as in JPME #1), not an extra "I", right?) I'll take the hit on typing the title too quickly.

On top of that, someone correcting someone else on their grammar, regardless of rank, should be typing "with all DUE respect", not "with all do respect".
