Pls make this the Raves and Rants thread, it's my birthday

Rant: a thread wasn't up for me to post in so I took it upon myself to start it (LTs lead the way, LTs are the backbone of the amry, promote ahead of peers).

Rave: currently deployed to a nice country in eastern europe, it's nice

Rave: I'm the commander for the deployment since my CPT didn't come which means I get to set the rules with my good idea fairies. No organized PT at all, trust my guys to do PT on their own, hopefully I don't regret it for our APFT next month. I'll be honest, it was half trusting them / half me not wanting to wake up that early anymore lol

Rant: people outside of finance really don't understand what we do, which I get. Usually finance offices aren't closed for lunch during a dep, we are and we've gotten a few complaints. What they don't understand is that we're running the bare minimum amount of personnel to run our 3 sections (cashiers are only 1 section). If we don't close for lunch, there won't be time for them to go to lunch, at least not until the workload lessens to train a second cashier. Wish I could write that on a sign somewhere

Rave: it's not actually my birthday, you've been bamboozled
