• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hey military dudes...I need a definition!

Another "force multiplier" is a good scronger. If you had a good scronger in your section you were truly blessed. A good scronger could not only deliver the goods, but do it without getting caught. I think a the number one quality in a scronger is imagination, he sees things in a way normal people don't. We had this one guy in an ANG unit I was with, the unit was on a closed Air Force Base, all the buildings were still there waiting to be destroyed. The city where the base was located was taking over leaving just the ANG property. Well one day he was late for work said he had to make a stop, and it took a little long than expected. The next day same thing, also noticed that a parts room in our maintenance bay was filling up with a lot of junk. Asked this guy what was going on, he says couple of days it'll be gone. Couple of days later, gives me a key and asks if I will take control of the new locker in the breakroom, show me what it is first, sure. He had noticed that the old base NCO club was being demmo'd so he liberated some things he thought might improve morale. Open this cabinet and we got a refrigerated keg with tap, strictly for off duty morale, with the key under my control. Next to it is a cabinet with a soft serve ice cream machine, I've got a buddy in the chowhall who will supply us with the ice cream mix once a month on UTAs, all from the equipment came from the now gone NCO Club didn't cost a dime just needed to be cleaned up, along with a popcorn machine. The ice cream was a God send during Chem exercises in full MOP in August in Texas. Guy deserved a Medal of Honor. Once we needed a new refrigerator for the breakroom, next day there it was, the damn thing was full of medical specimens, and still cold, I don't want to know. What a guy !
 
Someone who knows "the book" but hasn't had their brain corrupted by "the book" is an extremely valuable commodity as well. They know the system and how to manipulate it to the good of all.

This is where a good admin troop, especially one with seniority, can be extremely handy.:wiggle:
