The Different Types of Army Staff Officers by Branch

TSgt David L. - you hit the nail on the head.

Thank you for the mention ma'am, did a joint training during the'96 pre-Olympics with Air Guard, Naval and Marine Reserves, definetly strange cats.

I've worked with Army, Navy, and Marine Corps Officers doing Logistics support. The easiest to please and get along with were the Marines and Navy Seals. Army No SPEAKEE DE ENGLISH.

Thank you for the mentionotif Lt Col Charlie Brown. As a Career Staff NCO turned self-employed CMII-MC-DevOps Strategist at Air & Space Ministries, Inc., I still read every website from the bottom up. Old habits are hard to break. I couldn't help notice that the blog stats/metrics at the bottom of Angrystaffofficer.com, which indicated 1,561,767 hits since November 2013. That's valuable operational intelligence and CCIR's on the military state of morale leveraged by Angrystaffofficer.com collection efforts and powered by WordPress.com—https://wordpress.com/

LTC Jeff Shearer - Frag makes a wicked buzz when it comes by. Or so I've been told! Base plates from a bomb make an even more menacing sound. As do bases from a base ejecting projo. Mk-82s (500lb bomb) and up split down the side and send "swords" out at a few 1,000 feet per second. THAT sounds scary once you've heard it. Proper demo techniques help to limit kick-outs/frag but not entirely. There is a science to ordnance disposal to limit damage that Engineers and other "Demolition" folks don't learn.
We had some SF guys sit through the Demolition section of EOD School when I was an instructor there (not sure how or what strings somebody pulled for that) and they enjoyed themselves. Who wouldn't I guess.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - Woops. You are correct. Not sure how I messed that up. They had the 16" rounds at NAVSCOLEOD when I went through and it is a HUGE round. Bad news on the receiving end!

Back during Vietnam SAC would select a couple crews a quarter to go in country to observe B-52 strikes. Our crew never got selected but the stories from those who did were awesome. Doubt there is anything like that today, so we have to rely on what you folks on the ground tell us.

Growing up in a Joint-Service school, being an Instructor at said school for 6 years and working with joint services (mostly Army) for 20+ years I'm fairly "multi-lingual" to a point. I can talk to my 11B son and know most of what he's talking about. There are always the unique lingo things that needs explanation though.

LTC (Join to see) Yup, first half of any meeting is trying to decode their lingo.
