I'm going to the shithole that is call Hawthorne Army Ammo dump. I really don't want to go out there but have no choice. I thought I'd share the experience with everyone so every time a Reservist does something stupid I will share it with everyone. FML

So let's talk about day 1. I'm still at the staging area because its so disorganized that they didn't get enough buses to move every one to the training area. Actually I did the math of how many empty seats were on buses equaled more then the amount of personel that had to sleep on the sidewalk. Oh did I mention because of piss poor planing there isn't any food here. Not that I'm complaining because I can go days without eating but I have to listen to 40 reservists complain that they are hungry. This is why I hate reserve lead ops. Its a cluster f*ck. All you have to do is manifest a bus correctly. Tell by name who sits on which bus and ensure every seat is filled. I've got sh!t to do out here. Me sitting on my @ss listening to bitches and moans is wasting vaulable time on my end. I'm so f*cking tired right now I can't spell anything correctly. One day wasted down and possible one more to go.

Ok. I've been on the camp for about three days. The Morale of the Marines has dropped not because I'm here but because of the command element. You the op is broken down into three elements. "Advon" who set the camp up. "Main body" who who runs the op and "Rear party" who breaks the camp down. Each element last 15 days. I'm here for the last two. The advon was happy until the mainbody leadership got on deck and started changing sh!t around.
1. Showers which were continuous now only go from 2000 to 2200 (8-10pm). Who comes up with this sh!t. The shower (which is a tent with shower heads running across a pipe) on has about 10 spots. In two hours they expect about 400 Marines to shower. To make matters worse that time frame is the busiest hours for me and my Marines.
2. Embark is retarded. Its my equipment a$$hole no I don't need to sign your form.
3. Chow hall is non-existent. I had to buy fresh water because the water in the tanks are over chlorines because medical is stupid and don't know how to test water so they just throw a bunch of tablets in it. Its like drinking from my parents pool.
Keep in mind this is a cluster f*ck because this is a reservist lead op. More to come
